Christmas has well and truly arrived at the Woodberry Designs studio, so I’ve officially entered that magical time of the year that puts us all in the happy zone. . . yay!!
So why am I showing you pictures of shabby gorgeousness?
Well. . . I had to take a small break from making Christmas ornaments earlier in the week to whip up this pretty cover.
My niece is quite the budding artist and on a recent visit I let her have a play with some grown up art supplies.
She was quite taken with the watercolour pencils.
Seeing as it is her 8th birthday this week I put together a gift box of big girl art supplies. . . watercolour paper, an art journal, brushes
. . . and her own pencil tin carrier.
I hope she likes it.
I remember when I was about her age I loved art supplies too (I still do!). There was a girl in my grade 4 class who had a 72 pack of Texta Colours. Can you believe SEVENTY-TWO!!!. . . I so badly wanted to use or even just touch those Textas, but she wouldn’t let anyone have a turn with her prized possession. She wasn’t a particularly likable young lady – truth be told, but we let her hang around with us in the hope she’d one day share her pretty pens. She didn’t!!
We all grew up of course and I remember in secondary school Miss 72 Texta’s was still a fairly unlikeable person. . . in a cruel twist of fate, during puberty acne invade her face like ants at a picnic. . . I mean like really, really bad. Hhmmm, perhaps she should have shared her pretty pens – just saying! lol

Very pretty pencil case cover. It’s certainly very mysterious as to how Karma works…..
Hi Kerryanne,
I’m sure your Niece will be thrilled with this Gorgeous Shabby, Pencil case cover!
And I’m sure she’ll be the favourite in class and share her pencils if she takes after her Aunty. lol
Oh, how I wish I had an Aunty like you when I was younger.
Creative hugs,
Anna
