If you can imagine it, you can achieve it;  if you can dream it, you can become it.

- William Arthur Ward

We have a new addition to our atelier - a wishing wall by cardboardesign.  The concept is simple - it is a frame comprised of little spaces that you can fill with your wishes, dreams, goals, resolutions - you name it.  Our family does not subscribe to the ‘if you tell someone your wish, it won’t come true’ myth.  We feel that the more you put your wishes and dreams out into the world, the more likely they are to manifest. The girls instantly responded to the opportunity at hand and we had a wonderful morning of family wish making and sharing.  The wishing wall is a wonderful way to encourage writing with young children.  I was pleasantly surprised and inspired by the depth and sincerity of their wishes. 

The wishing wall will also allow us to have an ongoing record of how are wishes evolve over time and with age.  Hmmm, maybe we will collect them at the year’s end and put them into our memory boxes.  The possibilities are endless...

We discovered this innovative, eco-friendly company at the go green expo last weekend.  All of their products are made out of recycled cardboard and are recyclable.  Not only do they have a fun kids line, they also have amazing

furniture and home accessories.  Cardboardesign has generously offered to sponsor a giveaway of one of their great teepees, which is sure to provide hours of good, clean, open-ended fun for your children.

The giveaway is now closed.  Congratulations Prerna!
