Setting up Shop

open for business

At Last!

Well it’s here at last.  Welcome to the all new Artful Adventures, courtesy of WordPress.  There’s still some work to do, but it’s mostly there now, and if I waited till I thought it was perfect, it would never appear!  Apologies to those of you who had all my old posts downloaded again when the [...]

New Business – New Blog!

This is a brand new blog about children’s art. So many kids unconsiously produce mini-masterpieces when they are small, and although we may hate to do it, they normally end up getting thrown away sooner or later – it all seems such a waste. This blog is dedicated to finding a use in everyday life [...]
