Get your friends involved and trade with them. Determine a theme, and then create Artist Trading Cards based on that theme. For example, one theme could be "Fantasy" and you could draw anything that you can think up, like unrealistic creatures.
Another theme could be "Things that make you feel good" and you could create cards that include whatever in life makes you feel wonderful, like sports, or games, etc. You could even create your own virtual world on Artist Trading Cards! By creating the themes, you are challenging yourself to think in creative ways. Artist Trading Cards don't have to just be things you draw, either.
You can paint or use other embellishments to create miniature works of art. The possibilities are endless! And because the trading cards are so small, they are easy to create and make a wonderful hobby.
Artist Trading Cards are fun for people of all ages. Here is an article that explains how to get started: http://site.escapadedirect.com/blog2/201... Another idea is to create Worry Dolls. Worry dolls are small colorful dolls that you put under your pillow at night to take your worries away.
You could make a bunch of the dolls, then donate them to a local children's hospital for the sick kids that are there.

If you want something fun, modern, inexpensive and unique one exciting thing comes to mind...Model Rocketry! Model rocketry is the hobby of building and flying model rockets. They can go anywhere from several hundred to several thousand feet in altitude at speeds upwards of 300 mph!
Most hobby stores have these models for sale. Estes and Quest are the 2 main suppliers of model rocket related kits and items. As you gain experience with the hobby, you can even create your own model rocket designs rather than building the pre-made kits.
There are computer programs to help you design, predict the flight characteristics of your models. Google "model rocketry" for a TON of sites and clubs that will have all the info you need. Also visit your local library or bookstore and get your hands on the book called Handbook of Model Rocketry, by G.
Harry Stine ...this is the bible of model rocketry. To look at a great site immediately and get tons of info on how to start, go to http://www.apogeerockets.com/ Explore the links and the site but be sure to click on "downloads" and select "video: getting started in rocketry" Hope this helps, let me know what you think!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
