You know how you can have the most awesome time on a trip, but when you come home the oddest parts stick in your memory? For example, when we took Jack to Disney World almost 10 years ago we did a ton of stuff, but one of the memories that stuck with me is having Jack on my back in his Ergo and me choking up crying while watching the magical fireworks over Cinderella’s castle.
Well, when it comes to our recent Arizona trips, a core memory that stuck with us all is when we decided that each type of cactus needed its own name. So, now we will forever have Bob, Steve, Barbara and Lil’ Jimmy. In order to commemorate those memories, I thought it would be fun to make little canvases of each cactus and then stick a super strong magnet on the back for fridge décor.
Here’s what I used for this project:
And look how cute they turned out!
First up, we have Bob – a saguaro cactus with no arms.
Then, his buddy Steve – a saguaro cactus with arms.
The beautiful Barbara – a barrel cactus.
And last, but not least, we have Lil’ Jimmy – an Arizona prickly pear cactus (aka a “high five” cactus).
The whole project of all four canvases took less than an hour and they make me smile every time I walk past our refrigerator!
