after an entire day of brainstorming- i have NOTHING for the one a week challenge!!  nothing but bits of shredded tin and dried mango! ahhhh!  project runway- way harder than i thought!  i’d be sending my model out naked!  here we all are taking a break on the brainstorming couch . . . my head hurts

on the one-a-week challenge:

here’s my loot from the grocery store and pantry.

i’m getting a little worried here. i have NO IDEA what i’m going to make with these things?! ack! maybe i should have had a plan before going shopping? although, the contestants on project runway don’t have much time to think either. . .

i’m also starting to realize that it would have been wise to get alot of one material instead of one of everything. i mean. . . chocolate, soap, and rice paper? i chose materials based on texture and color. . . oh dear . . . this is quite the challenge!

time to brainstorm . . .

materials:

soy wrapper (in five colors!)- 2 packages

rice paper- 1 package

2 bars of soap

1 bar of dark chocolate

1 tin of green tea

1 small bag of dried mangoes

from the pantry:

1 package of sprinkles

1 tin of tea

1 tin of hot chocolate

total $ : $27.43

geared up for bust!
