If you have any school age child in your life then you probably are aware of Rainbow Loom & their status as this years must have plastic bracelet/ craft item. Fortunately for me they are everywhere along with their accoutrement as recently I was in a conundrum over how to store my paint tubes. Keeping them in a large glass jar looked cool, but was not practical. It seemed I was always needing the paint on the bottom of the jar & was perpetually dumping the jar out to find what I needed. It also made it difficult to keep track of how many tubes I have in a certain color. Hence my joy over Rainbow Looms ubiquitousness. Their storage system for loom & rubber bands is perfectly sized for watercolor paint tubes. Yes, some compartments have more than one color in them, but overall my collection fits nicely. Organization of materials cannot be underestimated. I found this box at Michaels. So if you are in the, "What do I do with my paints?" conundrum, may I humbly suggest a Rainbow Loom box. Happy Wednesday Y'all! 

The holly is full of berries lending itself to all sorts of Christmasy images. The anticipation of Advent is fun, so expect plenty of Christmas messages in the next few weeks. Happy Tuesday Y

These are much more "design-y" then my usual pieces, but I find them funny. Sometimes you don't need a lot of words to adeptly convey an idea. And I am thinking about making some more of these... What do y'all think?

After a promo like that I want to see the exhibit!

A group of volunteers made this video about single use plastic bags... while parts are wonky the overall message is clear: Ban single use plastic bags!
