Laminated Pastel Drawings
I was given a gift card to an office supplies store for Christmas. And if that wasn’t awesome enough, I was also given an hour to wander around that store… on my own! I spent some of the gift card on practical, useful items that we actually needed, but I spend some of it on […]
Finger Painting on Foil
We have a longstanding love affair with foil in our house. We’ve painted on it, drawn on it, made Christmas decorations out of it, and today we got out the shiny roll of goodness once again. Today it was time for finger painting on foil! You’ll Need… Something to cover your work surface – we […]
