Here's my list for the week
Create extra paintings for resource box - 8 of 10 done
Mount paintings for resource box - 8 of 10 done
Create paintings for resource book - 10 of 24 done
Organize painting resource box - so far so good, 2 paintings and book to add
Organize crafting supplies and table

This might be a sily question but what is a resource box?

:heartsNY:

A Resource Box is a box of projects that have been completed so that when I teach the project in an art class I have a ready to go example for kids. It's actually for school, but to me it seems more like crafting than homework

Glad you asked, Girlsinmo! I was wondering myself! Great idea, PC!

I managed to get a banner/garland done. I really like it, even though it's kind of amateurish looking-now I know what not to do. I'm going to post some pictures and a description on my blog, as soon as I get it hung and photographed, so you can see what I'm talking about.

I feel like I've actually accomplished something! :jumpinghearts:

Your banner sounds interesting. They're so many great sounding blogs(along with everything else) here don't know where I'm going to find time to do much. I'm too busy reading & enjoying everyone's creativity.

Got to get off here to go to bed. But had to come back and tell you I'll be trying your country supper. That sounds delicious.

Just a quick post, computer problems at my house & I'm stuck on DH's laptop :bang: :argh:

So far I have cleaned out 1 "craft area" (it looked like a pile of junk!!) & I have found more yarn so I guess I'm going to have to do a slash the stash list eventually and I found 4 folders of stuff for my notebook . I also spent about 1 hour cleaning out my notebook so far.

Oh, the pillows gave me an idea! What about making each family member their own pillow for the couch! Nascar would be great for hubby! What kind of pillow are you making?
