Nothing gets me side-tracked faster than a really good sale on art materials. A few days ago I happened on a sale of polymer clay for 87¢ a block instead of the usual two or three bucks. Wow. My supply was low, I had hardly any homemade beads left, so I went bananas.

The next day I found a dozen good quality frames–from quite large to very small–across the street at a garage sale I didn’t know about until I saw the crowd waiting outside at 8 a.m., not a usual sight around here. Oh bliss–what could bring more happiness than an art supply bonanza!

So here I am, passionately painting and modeling. Pretty soon I’ll have so many beads that I’ll be able to enjoy another activity I do to relieve stress: sorting.
