Now is the time for a great inexpensive Kid Gift!!!

Do you have lots of kids on your to buy for list this Christmas? Have I got a great idea for you!?! Right now, during back to school sales, you are going to find killer deals on all things creative. Crayons, markers, colored pencils glue etc.  Even the boxes to keep them all in are on sale!!! Pick some up and put it away to give as a fun art supplies packs for the little sweethearts! Even if they get some for actual back to school, by Christmas (at least at my house) things are missing or broken and could use a good refreshing. (and its nearly impossible to have too many crayons) Its a great way to give a nice big present for a small price, it works for boys and for girls and even for nearly all ages!!! Does it get much better than that?? I think not!!
loves to all!!
