We have had a really long (bad) week, sick kids, stolen purse, cars breaking down and did I mention sick kids.  Yuck!  I needed something fun to get us all in a good mood again. 

The Great Sunflower Project offers a free pack of sunflower seeds for you to plant in your yard.  All you have to do is watch and count the bees you see coming to your garden and send in the count, either online or by mail.  This is a great one for me, I LOVE sunflowers, they are so bright and cheerful.

Now, when those sunflowers are up and looking pretty, you can sketch them with oil pastels.  The fun part is - Pentel is giving away a free 12 piece oil pastel set. Here is the link:  http://www.pentelarts.com/offer.php

Enjoy the spring weather, on the days it actually behaves like spring that is. 

April is a promise that May is bound to keep.  ~Hal Borland
