In the box !

In the Box !

This could mean so many things.

Today for me there are a few things "in the box"

Firstly, I had the kids yesterday at my Art class paint their first portraits on cardboard boxes - this was my sample ↑ - to see what THEY made, visit my school-site - go HERE *

Secondly, I just received an email that I won the most GORGEOUS Domino book in a Giveaway at "Artfully Musing" - check out Laura's blog HERE *

Thirdly, and I will make a more elaborate post about this soon, I am almost certain to have a little shop/workshop/studio in this amazing place, for a sneak peek go HERE *

And that's all I am writing today, because I have a zillion things to do....

Have a WONDERFUL DAY !!!!!
