This morning, my eyelids didn't even crack til nearly 11 AM...so church was a write-off. I haven't left the house; the most ambitious thing I've done is a craft project involving glue and scissors

The lunchbox sounds so cute! You have the neatest, most creative ideas.

I actually made it to my church this morning. I'm a great Episcopalian Monday through Friday (something about the paycheck, I think) and a lousy Presbyterian on Sunday. My husband jokes that I need to found the church of "Sleepsinatarians"!

I've been lucky, because a good friend of mine from church held a series of workshops called "Sacred Art, Sacred Play", which encouraged the idea that being creative helps get us in touch with The Creative Force of the Universe (call Him/Her/It what you will). We did tie-dying, collages, polymer clay sculpting, and bead and wire work, which I really got into.

I wanted a lunchbox like that out of sheer nostalgia. Got it for 11 cents (plus $5 shipping!) from eBay and knew I wanted to do something to customize it. A friend had given me a bunch of pretty stamps from the Seychelles, I had the wallpaper and other stuff---basically I just took the old black lunchbox, scrubbed the grottiness off and went at it with scraps and ModPodge (craft glue). Now I want to do more, I just don't know what yet!
