I appreciate the time with my family more. When you can't afford a vacation, it is amazing the little artsy projects you can come up with and I often learn from watching them. They are so free when they create!Bumble Belly Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239115429009985456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600758062682009623.post-76325815777959948612009-02-12T07:58:00.000-05:002009-02-12T07:58:00.000-05:00Your post is so true.

I now go to the lumberyard for sheets of MDF (a recycled medium density fiberboard) and cut them down with my new saw to use as a substrate for my art. I love the results. -- I should note that at the lumberyard I have to wait quite a while because they have cut way, way back on employees, like everywhere else.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14417217188669711208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600758062682009623.post-17204941110393768352009-02-11T17:42:00.000-05:002009-02-11T17:42:00.000-05:00Very well stated!
