Some ideas I have for future Artist Dates:
- get a facial or a manicure... I haven't done this since I was in high school
- ride a bike - hum...have to make sure the bike still has tires...
- go to a theatre production
- go to a concert
- go bowling - or maybe just watch!
- take a walk in the park
- listen to choir practice at the church
- visit a museum - there are a couple in downtown that I keep passing but never stop in
- go to a toy store - I probably will skip the Barbie and the HotWheels sections though
- go on a thrift store shop hop - there are a couple of thrift stores in small area in downtown
- get a new musical instrument like a tin whistle or a lap harp and learn to play at least one song
- watch a sunset - hope I have the camera with me
- visit a second-hand bookstore - I have books to take with me to sell
- buy a loaf of bread and feed the ducks
- poke around in an antique store
- visit the library and look at the sections I typically bypass
- get some herb plants or seeds and make an herb garden
- learn to make strudel - have my granny's recipe
- get frozen breaddough and sculpt turtles or some other animal
- fly a kite
- build a sandcastle
- paint a picture using my toes
- visit the hardware store
- cook a pot of stew or soup - mumm...and a loaf of bread too
- make cinnamon dough ornaments
- roll down a grassy hill - might have to be careful with this one
- make snow angels - dunno when I will find snow in So Cal but I will be on the lookout!
- make a greeting card and send it to someone
- make a locker-hook rug
- do some flower pounding
- get some bath crayons and draw all over the bathtub
- write a poem about the colors orange, purple and silver

Nice list! Nobody says you only have have choose ONE, you know ;-)
I used to live near an old fashioned toy store with lots of inexpensive wind-up toys ... after a few Artist Dates, I ended up with quite a collection.
Since your artist child said "No buying" the other day at the store, mine said "Let's Buy". I came home with an Artist Fairy doll!
Great list! I'm not sure about the cooking, though. Sounds like work to me. :) I especially love the crayons in the bathtub one.
Oh no Debra...the artist child said "BUY BUY BUY - BUY IT ALL FOR ME"...artist mom had to say.."No way, buster...I'm not made of money, yanno. I gotta WORK for that stuff..."
Rian...its the cleaning up after cooking that I can't stand! Love how the house smells with a good stew bubbling away...and I keep lifing the lid just to get a deep whiff!
What a mean artist mom!
I was telling Wes about my blog yesterday on fairies & mentioned that I had introduced my Artist Fairy. He looked at me & laughed, "Your Artist What?" I'm sure he thinks I have a screw loose.
