WE LOVE TO COLOR 

Years ago, when my kids were all littles, they would ask me to draw pictures for them to color. Of course, I was only too happy to oblige. And then I started posting them on the Hope Ink blog to share with you too! You can see all of the FREE DOWNLOADS HERE including Christmas ones (more coming soon!)

WE LOVE TO CRAFT TOO 

As an artist, I love to create all kinds of things. Naturally, drawing and lettering are my favorites, but I always enjoy exploring other crafty-type endeavors too. Even though I’ve learned to knit and crochet, I think I’ve forgotten how to do both since it’s not something I do regularly! But being a mom has a way of encouraging you to try new things and re-learn old ones with your kids –or just watch in amazement as they lead the way.

If you, like me, are wanting some new ideas and a little crafty direction, this fun (and huge) Handmade Bundle might be right up your alley. It even includes a free Craftsy class if you sign up by tomorrow. Handmade Christmas gifts, anyone?

And I always love to see your coloring and crafting pictures, so don’t forget to share your creations with us!
