Merry Christmas 2018!!
I recently attended a wonderful card making workshop. This was open to all ages at my church and we had some that were as young as 3 and 4. I was stationed at this particular styled card. The more "advanced" card making was at a different table. We had so much fun, and the children did an amazing job! The cards were destined to be delivered to a local nursing home.
We signed each card...
I just adore the work that Rachel (6) did on her Christmas trees...and her older sister Lydia decided she wanted to do a different tree altogether. So creative!
One thing I wanted to share with you is the dual tip brush pen I found at the Dollar Tree which I saw on my last trip. They had a good supply with various colors but I only purchased one so I could "test it" and not waste money. I was hugely surprised! These are made from a Japanese company
"Marvy"...and let me tell you...they are MARVELOUS! They have a nice firm tip and are "juicy" so they allow for different levels of color. The marker tip is very fine and works well too. When I was at the check out, the cashier was gushing about the pen. He said he did calligraphy and they were great. I should have run back and swiped all of them, but I didn't.
Here is a closer look...
Needless to say, I went back and bought several more in various colors of what was left. Evidently the word got out about this product...I hope they get more in! Moral of the story...trust your Dollar Tree cashier...they know what they are talking about!
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
and a Happy New
Year!
