Of course I'll be a Mom one of these days, but for now, I am just very pro-kid in America and elsewhere. I'm also a firm believer that motherhood is one of the most creative acts ever. small magazine shines that truth a little brighter.
* - If you click "small draw" on small's top navigation bar, you can download a black & white pdf of Julie Morstad's work. It's intended for your kids to color, but I'm adding colored pencils to my grocery list. I wanna color, too.

So fun. Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad you are going to color.
I first saw that willow castle a few weeks ago, and have been smitten ever since. I've also be dreaming of ways to build it myself.
I'm enjoying following your blog and all the neat links it leads to...like small magazine. The art is lovely...and I LOVE to color (age 40)! It's one of the most restful things I know to do. I appreciate your love of beauty, sense of style and joy for the Lord. Thanks for writing. Blessings. B.
Thanks, Alina. What brand of colored pencils should I buy? I want really good ones. :)
Nicole, I swear I instantly thought of you when I saw that willow playhouse.
Thank you, B!
i'm a small magazine fan, too, but secretly wish they would also publish it in print format - too pretty to stay on the screen.
Kate, I'd love a print edition. Many a page would hang from my inspiration wires.
what a lovely playhouse!
