It’s Monday, so it’s time to continue my new feature, where I provide you with a challenge for the upcoming week. I encourage you to share your interpretations, reactions, and results to these prompts wherever you so choose. Maybe you’ll share on social media with the hashtag #uncustomaryart, maybe on your own blog, or maybe just in a summary paragraph in a comment on this post. Or maybe you don’t want to share with anyone but your personal journal, which is completely fine, too. Just take time to explore these topics and yourself.
Weekly Challenge #2: Play
Ideas: Twirl a plate on a stick
Wear a clown nose
Have a tea party
Watch cartoons
Play on a seesaw
Make a bubble snake
Roll down a hill
Play Messy Twister
Stick confetti, glitter, or googly eyes to your face
Draw an outline of your body on a giant piece of paper
Want 50 more ideas?
Every week, I choose my favorite response and that person will receive a card in the mail from me. So make sure I know your post exists! (Link to me or use my hashtag.) The interpretation is completely up to you, and there is no wrong answer. So go surround yourself with streams, bark, and moss. Can’t wait to hear what you get into as you make time to play!
Last week’s theme was nature, and I want to thank you all for your entries! The winner is Angie, who did this:

“This is Mimi in her ‘natural’ Summer spa”

I’m a friend of Angie’s and I’m over the moon for her that she won this contest!!!! We made “Celebration Boxes” yesterday so this is definitely going in the box as her first celebration!
She was excited!! 🙂 I hope you’ll share pictures of the Celebration Boxes!
She was VERY, VERY exicited!!! VBG… we will for sure share our Celebration Boxes!
Oof, I did not realize what a forgetful flower I am. I never did last week’s challenge! Okey dokes, I need to start this one right away. I wanna play! ♥ (And Angie’s summer spa is gorgeous.)
No worries, love. Can’t wait to see what you do this week!
