trucking through winter with craft time

This is the time of year where every second drags on during the day and zips by at night and on the weekend. It's the time to keep your head up and remember that spring is coming! Find something, anything that keeps you smiling. My daughter wanted to do an at home painting party. It took a minute to gather the materials and figure out what the heck we were doing, but it was nice to come home and do a paint session each night until it was done. And what did we learn from this? Patience. We had to plan, wait for the paint to dry, wait for the details to dry, wait for the second coats to dry, and patiently clean it up correctly. They aren't perfect, but they are ours! We learned patience and had fun doing it.
