I just got home from a rough day teaching at a new school, only to find this shockingly heavy box on my doorstep covered in adorable artistic phrases! I open it up, and inside is a practical treasure trove of creative items!

First of all, we have a new sketchbook, which I could always use. Next is an awesome set of sculpting tools. I have all these blocks of sculpey lying around, so I'll definitely be giving these a whirl.

After that comes a great book full of artsy lesson ideas. I'll definitely be making use of this when I need some new ideas.

Finally a set of books and a corresponding marker/pencil set that's all about creating projects around these neat abstract, vaguely art nouveau spirally lines.

There was clearly so much thought and inspiration put into this gift package, and I'm seriously super grateful! It couldn't have come at a better time either. Thank you so, so much!
