Hard to believe that a week ago I was presenting to students at List & Central Elementary schools!
We talked about colors, shapes, my small addiction to tater tots, and made some paper toys!
Thank you to the @fmuthlibrary and the schools for hosting such memorable events. 🤗
Come join Ashley, Denise and I for cookies, fire side chats, and of course creating art!!
