Can you believe that we have raised over TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS in the last 12 hours? How crazy awesome is that???
One of the things I wanted to do today was to make a bank to hold spare change, so I can start saving up for the Round the World trip I am planning for 2010. I bought a plain cardboard box, and plan to paint it like a world map, and cut a hole in the top for money. Here's the progress so far:
Plain brown box.
I had a few colors of blue to choose from for the ocean. My original plan was light blue, like what they normally use on maps, but I also have a shiny dark blue that I used...
On these boxes, which I made during last year's blogathon.
So it was really between two colors. I finally went with the light.
The first coat was easy- I still had some of these cheap sponge painting things from when I painted my house before I moved in. Now I just have to see if I like the color when it dries. If not, dark shiny blue it is!
