I love this ritual.

I love rocks too. These are all pretty nondescript river rocks. They just needed a little makeup to look grand. The unusual one in the middle is not painted--it didn't need any embellishment. <BR/>Kylee, you have a good eye. That rock looked just like an Oreole cookie to me, so I painted it just like the cookie. Lot's of fun.<BR/>AiyanaAiyanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-31379362172250391592008-09-14T16:48:00.000-07:002008-09-14T16:48:00.000-07:00Aiyana, what a great thing to do!
