When my oldest was a little girl, she had this infatuation with The Little Mermaid.
You know the kind.
The kind where she watched it over and over and over.
When she'd leave the room, I might have been known to hit fast forward in hope of getting to the end before she came back.
Maybe it was mean.
Maybe it helped keep a young mommy sane.
As she's grown older, her obsessions have become a bit more manageable. In fact, she's even developed a taste, if you will, for a few of my obsessions.
One of those obsessions would be Starbucks.
When I saw a graphic someone put together of the Starbucks Mermaid switched out with Ariel, Sebastian and the eels, Flotsam and Jetsam, it was sheer perfection.
Of course I showed my girl and it was a given that I would make her a sign with the graphic for her room.
I painted it on canvas yesterday.
Eventually I'll show you the wall she plans to add this to, but till then, please enjoy it styled with a random peach, dying flowers mixed with fake flowers, a cup of watered down black coffee I won't be drinking while using my iPad holder as an easel.
Obviously I'll put any random old thing together if they create a halfway decent photo.
So again, enjoy!!
I remember that obsession well! I love it that you tell us all your secrets!!!
