I know one homemaker who makes things all year in different categories: clothing, quilting, baking, florals, ceramics, photography, crafts, jewelry and even some categories she makes up that do not exist---they let you do that when you have an unusual entry---and she makes a hundred dollars from accumulated prizes.

Also, type in your search engine, "Glitter Crafts" and see what comes up. While we sat at home in the 40's and 50's using silver and gold glitter, there is an abundance of shade and hue of this medium.
