"As Seen on..."

So I want to start a new thang....
I always see these super cool things online that I really want to try. And in the days before Pinterest, all these amazing things that I saw all over the web would be forgotten about in all of 15 minutes. So now that I have Pinterest I am able to remember all those cool things I wanted to try. But ya know what.... I'm still not trying anything! Uggh!

Why is it that I don't do the things that I love???? I should be trying to do these things that bring me inspiration! Instead who knows where my creative time is being spent!  I watch tv. (a little more honest) ;)

So I'm going to change this! Every month I'm going to attempt something I've seen on the world wide web! I figure that once a month is a good start for me, and if I find that I want to add more, then bigolly I will! So here it goes!!!!!!!!!

The first ever "As Seen On..."                (I'm so excited! EEkkkk)

So the other night I saw this adorable little piece of artwork

{via}, also on my DIY board on Pinterest

I loved it so much that I wrote "I'm doing this tonight!!!"

And you know what???? I DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooorayyyy!

Sho here's how it went down:

I grabbed my pumpkin princess and we went to town! Well, we went to the dinning room, that's close enough to town right????!!!!

So here's my little tutorial:

My cast of characters

I cut out a good shape and then put the paper side up. It's awesome because the back of the freezer paper is plastic like, and this acts as a barrier for your paint too!!!

Grab your paints and pour them into your plates. (I didn't use actual finger paints, but you totally could. I just used regular craft paint that I already had, along with some puff paint for some glitter.)

Then I started getting her little feet dirty!!! It was super fun!

Then I washed up those feetsies and let her shake out some more glitter on her butterflies!!

Once all of this has a chance to dry, take a permanent marker and draw in the butterflies body, face and antennae... 

You know what the best part of this whole thing is??? My little munchkin kept saying "I want to paint wit Momma! Thank you Momma, {insert kisses here, kisses to my face, arms, hands, and anything else within her reach!!!}"

 I had so much fun with my little girl! It was a real bonding moment! Thank you Project Balancing Act for bringing me and my daughter together! And with such a cute little piece of art to hang in my daughters room! And what a fun thing for her to look back on and see just how little her feet were! 

This little project also lead to this:

After I was done with her feet butterflies, my munchkin still wanted to paint!!! So I set her up in her high chair and let her go to town.... 

What do you think I turned it into? I'll show you later in the week! 

I'd love to see your creations!
