Diamond Dotz

I've seen Diamond Dotz before and was anxious to share this fun project with friends. The concept and task are both simple. There are code numbers on the different colored dots. You find the coordinating number/symbol on the "paper" (almost more like a fabric) and place the dot using the applicator pen.

So why would I enjoy doing such a simple task. Here are some reasons:

1. My children also enjoy doing them (ages 6 and 8). It takes them longer than it takes me, but it's a good, creative use of their time.

2. It's art and it's fun to make something beautiful.

3. While I enjoy being creative on my own, sometimes it's hard to think of something you want to do. This has the pattern already created. Sometimes I need that.

And the most important reason
4. When you're finished, IT STAYS DONE! As an adult running a household, my days are filled with tasks that are on the repeat cycle. Cook, dishes, laundry, sweep, children's homework, diapers, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat. I enjoy doing art because it stays done! I've accomplished something. It feels good to do it and it feels good to be done.

So if you're thinking you need something different and fun to do, try it out. It won't be my last.
