OMG, I LOVE ART SUPPLIES and so do almost all artists! And why not? There are so many choices out there and so many things that you can do with the supplies that you have. If you are soon about to start Art School or take an art class in college, those professors of yours will be asking for certain brand names of art supplies. Did you know that the college store has a large mark up? On average, you are going to be looking at spending between $70 - $250 each semester. Trying t

AUGHHHHHHHH..... What will I need for college besides the basics? LOL, we were there last year and boy oh boy, did we pack wrong! Please know that you will NOT need every article of clothing from your closet, dresser, floor and hamper. It will take up way too much room in the car, you will have to lug it into your building (up who knows how many flights of stairs too!), you will not have room for all of it and will you wear it all right away? Chances are you will be home befo

However, are they choosing exactly what they need? We have put together some check lists to help them out. Can't find what you need in the stores? Check out our Amazon link for some of our most favorite Amazon College f

College, is it stressful? Well, yeah... College students experience stress due to many factors - being away from home for the first time, lack of good time management, pressures of the classroom (or virtual classroom), figuring out how to pay for things, changes in sleeping/eating... So, how can students recuperate and recharge their batteries? The answer is complicated because it will be different for everyone... (sorry for such a vague answer). An online article by Best Col

Is it a struggle to get those kiddos of yours to clean up their rooms after they are done playing? Are you making the task fun or is it more of a chore for them? How do you make cleaning fun? You could look for fun storage ideas like the car garage or shark hamper that we found on Amazon, make cleaning into a game or I guess you could also bribe them... One trick I often found fun was to beat the clock... I'd set a timer and the kids would have to put all of the ________ away

We all love our children and want them to be happy, so why not encourage a bit of creativity from them this summer? As an art teacher for over 25 years, I just LOVE seeing my students figure things out and the smile that results is just PRICELESS!

Running out for office supplies in the fall is always a fun time for me.
