10 One-Day Projects

I have a little confession to make: I am not a BIG project kind of gal. Instead, I like to start (and finish) my projects in a single afternoon (or even just an hour or two)!
If you're like me and want to Experience the Joy of Creativity® in short, one-day bursts, here are a few Kimberbell projects you're sure to enjoy!
