Ice Sculptures

My oldest daughter is supposed to make an ice sculpture as part of her homework this week.  I was trying to be cool like Amy and I thought we could do something fun like a tall rainbow striped tower or add things inside the ice like these blocks from  Craftberry Bush:

I should have known she wouldn't go for it.  She loves art and is super creative, but if her teacher didn't tell her she could do it, she won't even consider it.

This is the same girl that at age 4 freaked out that I tried to buy snacks at the store for the snack basket because her teacher said that she should fill the basket with snacks from HOME.  After a ten minute discussion I finally had to call Ms. Renay and have her explain that it was okay to buy the snacks at the store.

I sent an email to her teacher and hopefully we will still have time to do something fun with our ice sculpture.

Ice Luminaries

If you live someplace where it is freezing cold outside, you need to check out the tutorial for these ice luminaries over at Tales from Bloggeritaville:

They are beautiful and probably the safest luminary idea ever!  When was the last time you saw ice catch on fire?
