gonext.gif (388 bytes)interview and FREE craft idea
holm.jpg (4403 bytes)Carolyn Homes the author of Everyday Art For Kids has always been surrounded by art.  Her mother created an atmosphere that encouraged and nurtured Carolyn and her siblings to be  creative and imaginative. In addition to making art from ordinary objects, like a used box, Carolyn also was busy writing stories and poems as well. She found that even the most self-confident parent was a bit unsure of themselves when it came to art. This propelled Carolyn to create a tremendous resource for both parents and children so that they could do any project successfully, that they desired. This provided the foundation for her book Everyday Art For kids.
