Use what you have...to CREATE something better.







As usual, there have been many things in my "project box" lately. I came across a contest that I decided to enter. It's for a magazine that I love "Cloth, Paper, Scissors". They are doing a calendar contest and the theme is: "Life is like a box of"........WHAT? I just had this idea to do a storage box on wheels filled w/ art supplies. You know I had to use the word "CREATE" in there somewhere and the more I think about the saying...the more I like it. Use what you have...to create something better. I am definitely thankful for the things I have, but I sometimes fail to recognize or USE those things. Can be anything from the power of prayer to a ROOM FULL of art supplies. Maybe I'll make a list. I've been thinking about starting/keeping a journal lately. It's not something I do, but I would like to. Good place to start. So what do YOU have? And, what can YOU create? Yep, it's a challenge.

We have a St.Jude fundraiser going on at school. Here's a picture of the painting I did for the basket that we are raffling. It's the HOPE painting, of course.

And, here's a picture of some hand-painted bookmarks.
And, of course NOW I see I didn't not post the pics in order. Sorry. Guess you can figure it out. Atleast i finally have pics, right?
Okay...It's TIME FOR ANOTHER CONTEST...More details later....
create.

I want one of those little canvas of the 'life is like a box of art supplies'. I really love it. Is this how I need to place my order?

yes, you can order through by blog like this. I'm adding 2 more tickets w. your name to the jar b/c I did not see this post before I tallied in this morning's post. One for the comment here and one for the order.
How big do you want it, and do you want the same colors? I can make the background, paint bottles, etc whatever color you want.
