Grammar/Writing

What do you all use for grammar?  Right now, I am using Bob Jones for grammar.  It looks like a typical grammar book that you see in the public schools.  

I like it because it is colorful and the explanations are simple in the student workbook.  I often teach from the student workbook and I don't buy the teacher's manual which comes with a CD and is a little pricey. 




It follows what most schools teach during a school year.  It alternates between teaching grammar and writing.  My children  like it very much and I have used it for two years.  Many of the writing styles are taught throughout the year:  how-to-paragraphs, descriptive writing, letter writing, poems, etc.  

I do want to add more writing than what is just in this book.  Any ideas for creative writing?  What grammar curriculum has worked for you?  Seen any good websites?
