Summer Art Making!

We went to Saugatuck, Michigan last week (bet you didn’t know that, because I pre-scheduled blog posts for that time.  You really should be careful what information you give out when you are leaving town.

We had a blast riding the dune buggy rides, playing at the beach and going shopping in the cute shops.

One afternoon, I brought out my art journaling supplies for my daughter and niece to play with.

My daughter enjoyed just cutting paper into lots of pieces.
