Christmas has well and truly arrived at the Woodberry Designs studio, so I’ve officially entered that magical time of the year that puts us all in the happy zone. . . yay!!
So why am I showing you pictures of shabby gorgeousness?
Well. . . I had to take a small break from making Christmas ornaments earlier in the week to whip up this pretty cover.
My niece is quite the budding artist and on a recent visit I let her have a play with some grown up art supplies.
She was quite taken with the watercolour pencils.
Seeing as it is her 8th birthday this week I put together a gift box of big girl art supplies. . . watercolour paper, an art journal, brushes
. . . and her own pencil tin carrier.
I hope she likes it.
I remember when I was about her age I loved art supplies too (I still do!). There was a girl in my grade 4 class who had a 72 pack of Texta Colours. Can you believe SEVENTY-TWO!!!. . . I so badly wanted to use or even just touch those Textas, but she wouldn’t let anyone have a turn with her prized possession. She wasn’t a particularly likable young lady – truth be told, but we let her hang around with us in the hope she’d one day share her pretty pens. She didn’t!!
We all grew up of course and I remember in secondary school Miss 72 Texta’s was still a fairly unlikeable person. . . in a cruel twist of fate, during puberty acne invade her face like ants at a picnic. . . I mean like really, really bad. Hhmmm, perhaps she should have shared her pretty pens – just saying! lol
