I’m so thrilled to have been selected to share this news with you. Because when you combine three of my favorite things – kids, shopping and creativity – it’s pretty exciting.
GapKids is hosting a series of events for kids to unleash their inner artist. The special art projects are designed by Merrilee Liddiard of Mer Mag. Merrilee is an illustrator, painter, designer, crafter, seamstress and mother. Mer Mag, is a journal of her creative endeavors with her kids. Here are a few samples of projects from her blog.
