For the "U" fans

Just had to post the pic of the faces I painted to go with the gift we got John and KJ for Christmas. We had their names this year and when I saw the hats I knew exactly what I wanted to do.  I did learn not to spray paint Styrofoam... I wanted to put on a clear top-coat of paint to protect the U decor, mostly from getting on the hats, and the part of the paint that touched the un-painted foam started to shrivel like packing peanuts.  I kind of freaked out and had to re-paint quite a bit.  It is still a little pockmarked, but I love how they turned out and even though I didn't get to see the reactions when it got opened, I was super excited to give it.  I may have to take a pic of the gift I gave my mom too, it was a "Substitute survival kit" with schmaltzy poetry and diet coke memorabilia.  I love Christmas!!
