Saturday, November 9th...
I had been thinking about getting an art projector. The watercolor portrait book I have talked about them, that artists use them all the time. I had looked at Hobby Lobby, and they had 3 different ones. they had a really nice one that was the same brand in the book, for $24.99! I finally decided I would just get it, a little splurge! Well, when I got my total at the register, I found out the projector was $249.99! How disappointing! I thought it seemed awfully well-made for that price.
Sunday came and I got one newspaper. I am taking a break from my couponing. Well, Hobby Lobby has projectors on sale this week! Even the expensive one would have been like $150! But I didn't have that. I did think at the new price, it would be worth risking the purchase of one of the cheaper ones. They also had a coupon for 40% off an item, so I got some larger, better quality water color paper.
Of course, Anna tried the projector out the minute I got home, and in the living room it didn't seem to work too well. Which is about what I expected. But later I set it up in the boys' very dark room, and it was much better. I traced a photo and doctored it up after removing it from the wall, then I painted it and was pretty pleased.
