Lots of fun activities to do with children. Also some interesting and creative techniques that I hope to incorporate in a project I have in mind using old family photos.

This is a delightful topic! So fun and approachable! How about an annual altered book month? Or at least a sequel to the sequel?
Thanks for the great class!
