Art House Co-op

I set a goal of playing with more than words: crayons, cards, markers, etc.

The free projects are fun because they’re free. Then again, to balance things out, I do find an affordable project to try now and again. The collection of ‘assignments’ can be found here, too

Sunday Swaps

• Memory Swap: Sitting on the floor in the corner just beneath the front window of the library, a stack of counting books and other picture books beside me and reading – no interruptions.
• Love Note: You brighten another’s day with  your kindness, your smile. Thank you for enlightening my day.
• 50 Things to do: (My send to an unknown recipient; my getting someone else’s 50 things in return.)
