Welcome

Hello! My name is Shannon Taylor. I'm a former editor living in the woods of Wisconsin with my husband, four children, and lots of pets. I created this blog as a place to gather my thoughts and share ideas as I squeeze in some writing whenever the kids aren't looking.

Castiel in Clay

Snow Day!

Lexie amused herself this morning by creating a clay version of Castiel, the trench-coat-wearing angel on Supernatural. Isn’t he sweet?

Normally I would love a snow day, but I had such a long list of things to do. Oh, well.

Seeing what the kids come up with when they have nothing else to do is helping me relax into this day of not-getting-things-done. Will is over at the kitchen island observing the effects of water immersion on lemon drop candies. Lily (who is not allowed to watch Supernatural) just informed me that she and Lexie are setting up a Supernatural set for their American Girl dolls. Andrew is drumming loudly in the basement. Layla, who loves having everyone home, is dashing around throwing her bone in the air.

And later we’ll go outside and play in this absolutely gorgeous snow. The to-do list can wait until tomorrow.

P.S. Lexie uses Oven-Bake Sculpey for her clay creations. And here’s the realĀ Castiel.

ahh, sounds fun. We might be looking at our first snow day of the winter tomorrow. I will keep in mind letting the to do list go and playing in the snow. :)

Great clay sculpture, Lexi! You and Matthew both have an artist’s way with Sculpey.
