I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. Travis' surgery went very well yesterday. He's still be pretty out of it today, but he's down to only taking Advil for the pain and swelling. The surgery was a complete success and there weren't any complications. It only took about 30 minutes and we were home from the hospital by 4 p.m. (Not ( Read more... )

I'm nothing if not resourceful! I need some help with brainstorming for a couple of upcoming projects. The first is a poster for Martin Luther King Jr. Day with the theme "Share the Dream."

For my next design project I have to design a book cover. I need help of book ideas. They do have to be books I have read, but I've read lots of books, so comment any book you think could be cool for a book cover redesign project. It doesn't matter if I've read it or not because you never know I may have. Can be any genre and for any age level.

So I woke up this morning stressed about getting everything I needed for my art class this morning. We were doing an in class project, 2 hours start to finish. She didn't tell us what we would be doing so we had no idea what supplies we needed to bring.

Just because these ( Read more... )
