Thumbs up to this idea! Why didn't I think of that?

I discovered this little bit of genius when I was subbing in my old art room a while back.  I snapped these pics to share with you, and then promptly forgot about them.  I rediscovered them tonight while scrolling through my phone to delete extra photos.

I personally always hated paint pumps, because, of course, they always clogged.  So I didn't use them.  I poured paint instead, and honestly, I guess I have a pretty steady hand.  But this solution is simple, and absolute GENIUS!  These thumbs are simply pencil toppers.  They fit perfectly over the paint pump spouts, and totally keep them from clogging. 

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.  Now I just have to figure out where to find these cute pencil toppers!

Yikes - you must think I forgot about you!

I've had grand plans for posts to write since my previous post.

Somehow I keep getting distracted.  

So in the meantime...

Here's a few photos from my lake.

 For artsy inspiration.

A taller version of me, my Laurel Burch bag, and a really good book. 

 Weird marsh sludge...

Below, views from above; inside the 'camp' -

Living room

 Messy dining room with my junk all over

Pretty red berries

 And more weird marsh sludge...

That's all for today!

Next time, one of those more 'intelligent' posts I had planned to write....
