When I'm at wits end, I think it helps me more to read everyone else's problems than to even vent about my own. lol

People were shocked when I laughed last Sunday-- I checked the art room setup to see if we'd need extra supplies for class- I had already cut several sets of yarn and streamers for windsocks-- only to find the Sexton had "cleaned-up." 

The Superintendent in my church has been "in charge" a long time (which is part of the problem), so you can imagine how difficult it has been trying to make some changes. (Why is it that people who "cling" to power also gravitate to positions of it? This is why we need term limits in church positions.) They didn't want anything in our white hallways. When we got permission to have a "tack strip" we used it to hang all sorts of décor from big and small, long and colorful.

Thanks for all the creative decorating ideas in the thread,

Terri
