Remember when I told you how fun it is to play with wet cement? Well, I still had some cement left over from "Just Add Water", so I got an idea...I have several places in my "whimsical" backyard where the cement is broken, and it looked like I had enough cement left to fill at …
What could be more whimsical than mushrooms? I mean, even in real life they are whimsical, as you can see in this picture I found on http://www.pixabay.com.But they are even more whimsical if you draw them, because then you can have whimsical insects too.

If you have read my post "Just Add Water", you have already seen my whimsical cement garden spheres. And if you have been in my backyard lately, you know that they still look exactly like this. Yep, that's right, I have done nothing to them to make them any more whimsical. That's because I was …

In case you've been wondering... I did paint the shopping cart turquoise!Isn't turquoise just the best color? Remember, I found this cart in front of my house and the store said I could have it...

I found a shopping cart! It's been on the sidewalk in front of my house for almost a week. Ever since garbage pick-up day.
