Back from holidays and into the routine... a bit bittersweet really. This made-up dance sequence is an effort to bring back a bit of silliness to my day. I didn't teach it to anyone, but feel free to picture me wiggling away in my living room :)

Day 197 :: Sunday July 15 :: Woodstock, NB
Make something inspired by and/or that goes over a mouth (yours or someone else's).
Unfortunately, all good trips must come to an end, and we're on our way home... Our first pit stop is in Woodstock for gas and a snack! I'm bending the prompt a bit by making something that will go in a mouth instead of over it – this raspberry glazed Timbit stuffed into the centre hole of a double chocolate donut was very, very delicious indeed!

Day 196 :: Saturday July 14 :: St-Edouard, NB
Make something that is supposed to be walked on, and walk on it! It could be a type of floor covering, something that attaches to your feet, or...?
Remember the story of the maze? Well, given that I'm at the cottage and this assignment is perfect... it's time to break my self-imposed rule of not doing the same thing twice. I was awake bright and early today, and walked down to the beach to create this large maze while everyone else was still asleep. It took about 45 minutes to create... but the gulls and waves were a great soundtrack, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Once finished, I walked back to the cottage to find some volunteers to try my maze. Soon, mom, dad, sis, dog, aunt and friend were making their way through, hoping to find the way to the middle of the star and the seashell treasure inside. Fun was had by all... what a great morning. :)

And my sister, having made it to the star centre!
Day 195 :: Friday July 13 :: St-Edouard, NB
Write a ten-word fantasy story. Bonus: illustrate it!
After 13 hours on the road, we finally made it to my family's cottage! With my toes in the sand, this one was easy to write... "Time warp makes New Brunswick beach road trip last forever." If only such a thing was possible...

Day 194 :: Thursday July 12 :: Somewhere along Highway 20, QC
Create a monster that has never existed before.
I'm on the move today! A friend and I are currently driving from Ottawa to Shediac, NB. Yup, that's two provinces that way and 12 hours or so! But we've got good music, lots of snacks, and are both pretty excited at the premise of soon dipping our toes into the Atlantic ocean. So far, it feels like we go from construction zone to construction zone, inspiring me to doodle this 'construction cone monster'... a greedy little bugger making a fortune by peddling those cones along Quebec highways :)

Day 193 :: Wednesday July 11 :: Ottawa
Build a puppet (sock puppet, paper-bag puppet, marionette, stick puppet, shadow puppet, etc.). Bonus: Create a performance with the puppet... Maybe even get your friends to make other puppets and join in!
Hmmm... my first choice would have been a paper bag puppet, but I made one of those less than a week ago... Thankfully, a backup plan came to mind while folding laundry! When we were young, my sister and I would often be tasked with folding laundry. Our favorite part was pairing socks, and we came up with this game called 'sock wedding'. We would each take half the socks, then one of us would secretly select a sock while the other would suggest possible mates. It sounds a bit silly, but was hilarious every time! And in that spirit, here are my sock newlyweds :)

Day 192 :: Tuesday July 10 :: Ottawa
Make a family crest for your own family. If you already have one, make one for a friend's family or even a fictional one.
My family does indeed have its own crest, so I decided to make my own personal GStar version instead. The main part is divided into three parts – top left is an acadian flag, representing my roots; the diagonal shows waves since i grew up by the ocean; the bottom right... circle... is open to interpretation: it could be either a frisbee, a 'poutine râpée' (traditional acadian meal made of a small ball of salted pork wrapped in shredded potatoes), a 'ploye' (more tradional food, this time a thin buckweat pancake)... or any number of other fun round things :) Last but not least, the crown on top is because i'm a rock star! :D
