Carolly, it's funny you should bring this up. My hubby flunked art in 8th grade (yeah, difficult, I know...LOL). When the teacher asked him why he didn't put forth any effort he said that art wasn't important. Since having loved and living with an artist (I've been painting, drawing and doodling since I was a wee one and come from a line of artists), he now realizes that even if he couldn't do good art, art and art practice breeds creativity. And not in just artistic venues, but in all areas of life. Art contributes to creative THINKING. He wishes now that he had paid more attention ;o). And you're right...it would make some really fugly toilet paper...LOL. But at least it would be going to the right place. Laurie
