1. Printer
2. Printer Paper
3. Hole Punch ( I use a cheap 3-hole punch)
4. Markers or colored pens/pencils to "jazz" up your pages or color code your entries
5. 3-Ring Binder (a very plain one will work, because we are going to "jazz" them up)
6. Download the Organizer Pages. There are only 3 so far, but keep a look out, one a day

Excited! This is a fun project!

Art Project:

various colors of Acrylic Paint, 2oz. will do, I buy 8oz or larger, but hey...
  • Paint brushes, assorted sizes. I use the pack from the dollar store, nothing special. 
  • Canvas: Your choice sizes, styles, I used a stretched canvas 11x14 inches, primed with    titanium oxide white acrylic.
  • Plastic Drinking cups
  • Disposable gloves 
  • Stirring implement, I use chopsticks, popsicle sticks are a good choice, tongue depressors, straw, etc.
  • 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper or cardstock
  • Plastic tablecloth (again, I use the cheap dollar store table covers)
  • Small bathroom cups or leftover containers ( I save my little salsa cups from Taco Villa, this is a whole subject in itself)
  • Water
  • PVA Glue (White School Glue)
  • Spray Lubricant Auto section (again, I use dollar store spray, it doesn't have to be expensive to work)
Optional: *when I say optional, I really do mean that this item is not going to make or break your project, it just gives different results, like this item... it just gives a different texture.
  • 8oz. Container Behr interior house (Sample Color) paint, your choice of color, I used "Roadside" Semi-Gloss. White is a good choice as well.

Floral Arrangement

List of supplies:

Vase or other container for your flowers
Flower Stems- 5-7 large (4-6" diameter) flowers, silk, I like nicer flowers for these.
Flower Stems- 5-7 large to medium (3-6"diameter) flowers, silk, these don't have to be expensive but should have the same feel as the first flowers
Flower Stems- 20-30 smaller flowers, on a bush or single, they can be a variety of colors and types. I stick to 3 colors, they don't have to be expensive either.
Fall Foliage stems- I used maybe 5 small bushes of foliage and three bushes of various types of berries, I buy dollar store unless I can get them cheaper with a coupon.

Dry floral foam- something in a standard weight, made for silk flowers
Floral clay, waterproof tape
Wire cutters, I prefer heavy duty cutters


***Optional***
Floral waterproof tape
Floral stemwrap tape
Wood Picks
Stem wire
Hot glue gun/Hot glue
Plastic fruit or vegetables(pumpkins/squash, etc)- you can add these to make a festive arrangement, I won't be using any today.
