Well, here we are 4 weeks till Christmas and I'm wondering whether or not all my little plans will get finished.  My main project at the moment are sets of wooden boxes decorated for various people.  If you haven't been in QD lately, check out their range of plain wooden boxes, unfinished, from £1.99 for a set of two nesting boxes.  I painted them all first with white undercoat, and now I'm doing them in stages with acrylics, mixing the colours to suit the person.  I've developed the most amazing dusky rose, I'm very proud of it.  This is working out great for crafting on the quick as a coat of acrylic goes on fast but needs time to dry so I can pop in and out of my craft room for half an hour here and there.  The question is will I run out of days?

Oh, and don't forget to sand the boxes after you undercoat as otherwise you end up with a bumpy surface!  :-)
