I put mine in a paper bag behind the door... I really should put them somewhere else. Then again, if I put them in a special place, i will almost certainly forget where I put them 😅 #kidlitart

I think our natures generally make us more aware of what we don't have. It really does take practice to get better at appreciating what good things we do have! #kidlitart

A4: Earlier this year, I bought a bunch of blank business cards and wrote down 1 thing I was thankful for every day. I think it was helpful while I was doing it, and I really should get back to it! #kidlitart

It's good that art can be a source of solace when needed. Artists often talk about it being a source of angst, but for many of us it probably started art as way to soothe or escape from reality. #kidlitart
