Instead of tagging the boys' gifts, this year I color coded. I'm sure a lot of twin moms do this when their twins are infants, it helps keep pacifiers in the right mouths and is a courtesy to those who can't tell the babies apart. Reese was red-baby, Connor was blue-baby. So this year it looked like Christmas in July under the tree.
While I fell miserably short of my 52 canvases for the year, I took on this last painting project today. I was tired of looking at the bare concrete, so I painted a rug onto my studio floor. It's just acrylic and graphite. It was a fun project, but man my knees are killing me. I now have the urge to sing the theme from Aladdin every time I walk in there.

the painted rug looks fantastic!
I love your rug! Very good job! Like the color coding idea too. If I ever have twins, I'll remember that...
Cheryl, just logged on and saw the rug, gifts etc. What a bad mom I am for not checking it out sooner! I love the rug. I had to look real close to make sure it wasn't real. Good Job. I'll hang a picture of it on the fridge. Love ya, Mom
The rug is great! I am visiting new blogs via DJ Pettit's blog list. I'm glad I stumbled on yours. As for the color coding, I did something like that the past few years with my 3 boys. I get a different wrapping paper for each and don't tag anything. One was the Fairly Odd parents, one was superman and the other Shrek. lol
Saw your comment over on Wendy's blog and it drew me over here.
Love the rug!
How do you DOOOO that? Seriously. That's amazing. And I'm not just blowin' smoke up your youknowwhat.
OMG OMG OMG, I am just jumping up and down in excitement as I very kindly ordered your book from Amazon, who had very kindly emailed me to say I may be interested in it, and my dad very kindly wrapped it up and gave it to me for Christmas (still owes me for it though!!) I just love it from cover to cover and think it may end up a bit dog-eared (but well loved)... may lend it to a friend of mine (our relationship reminds me so much of you two, it's uncanny..) or I may not cos I doubt I will get it back!
Enough to say I just LOVE it and I am so glad I have found it.
PS I will post exactly the same on the other persons blog, cos if you are anything like Heidi and I you will bicker if one gets more comments than the other!
Brill book, hope there is more to come

I love the rug! I've always wanted to do something like that, but I don't think husband would appreciate it.
