I cut up some sponges into long petal shapes and shorter ones into leaf shapes. Squirted a little tempra paint onto a tray. Squirted a little more tempra onto a dish with some q-tips  and voila…..

Superhooper Came To My Backyard!

A couple of posts ago I told you all about my new hooping obsession. I also told you I invited Lara from Superhooper.org to come to Columbus for some free classes—And she did!

She loaded up her tunes and her hoops and drove her car–yeah, I know I was a little disappointed she didn’t drive the green bus—-to my house. I invited everyone I knew and a few brave and wild women showed up–along with lots of kids!

Here she is pumping us up and talking to us about the moves.

We all learned so much in a couple of hours it was so great. Everyone had so much fun. Even a little rain couldn’t scare us away from the hoops!
