This is a soothing activity and i can sit doing it for 12 hours while watching “sex and the city” for the first time in my life. Most of the art in my home is art that i have made from paint by numbers and what’s amazing about it is that they have many different styles. For a long time i thought the only paint by numbers you could do was animals, and i generally hate animals, so i avoided it. But it turns out you can make van gogh-like paintings, or gorgeous vistas from italy’s cinque terra, or a cityscape. If you are looking for something a little less committal (I tend to spend 40 hours on one but i get extremely detailed ones) you should do a paint-and-sip class at Pinot’s Palette. They are all over the US and you get to take a group photo at the end that they put on facebook like you graduated from high school :)

Not art. Blue collar. Just paint something around the house, base paint it first. Wait for it to dry, mix a custom color or just pick one out of the bottle and paint the thing and if ur still angry by the time you finish pick something else. It’s helping me and I dont think you all know how clinically unwell I am. Trust! Me!

I hated this book when I first read it. I thought it was absolutely ridiculous. And yet, more than five years later, I still find myself thinking about it. No other book has illustrated my particular brand of depression better. Sometimes you just want to exit for a bit.

For a hoarder like me, what better way to organize cute aquarium tickets or photo booth strips than collaged into a little notebook for posterity?
