    There REALLY need to be pictures here if you are giving directions for VISUAL PROJECTS! Some of these sound terrific, but we'll never know or be inclined to make them if we can't see what you're talking about! Example: When we see a topic called "3 best eyecatching garage sales" - the assumption is that there will be PICTURES of the EYE catching item.
