"You must remember, family is often born of blood, but it doesn't depend on blood. Nor is it exclusive of friendship. Family members can be your best friends, you know. And best friends, whether or not they are related to you, can be your family."

PICASSO INSPIRED FAMILY ART Get a stack of old
magazines that you are allowed to cut up. Cut out pictures of faces. Then, cut the faces apart -- eyes, ears, noses, mouths, and hair until you have stacks of each of the individual facial features. Next, get a blank piece of paper and a glue stick. Last, choose different facial features to create a unique (and wacky) Picasso-style portrait of yourself and/or a family member.
