We’ve been busy in a crazy busy fun way… we are all sensing the energy of the changing season… hanging onto sunshine days and enjoying the cooler weather too. Crispy evening walks and reading in sunny spots… it’s the perfect time of year for the great outdoors…
Lovely Links from This Week
- FIRSTLY, in case you missed it: This week we delivered a library… Huge thanks to all of our readers… and our project made it onto the local news… Mom Sources 1000 Books to Help Build a Library at Manenberg School.
- And here is a Picture Book illustrators dream The Life Boat Illustration Auction, All to support The School Bus Project… go and take a look, loveliness!!!
- Did you know that The Picture Book Party has dozens and dozens of colourful printables from heaps of favourite picture books.
- And here’s a quick and easy fun way to create lots of little artworks: Index-Card-A-Day 2016 countdown Begins… I love this project and use it to create bits and pieces of art that we can use later on in the year in our annual Sketchbook Project.
- This is golden… life with teens can require quite a bit of grace and this post had me smiling: On Being Treated Like an Adult.
- And this post gave me pause for thought, because to be honest I love puttering about my house and tidying out nooks and decluttering cluttered corners… and I have to say in a house with many more boys than girls, this could be a girl thing!!! Do Men Even Know Who Marie Kondo Is?
- The Art of Simple is Going to be Decluttering, this is always full of fabulous help and encouragement if you are about to dive in and declutter then now is a good time to follow along and join in.
