small style- giddy giddy

We love Giddy Giddy and have featured Teri Demalanta's crafty ideas and sweet hair clips and bags (check out the cute octopus bag above!) in many issues of Small and Smaller. You can see her DIY snow globe postcard for issue 19 here

As well as the barettes and bags they are known for, Giddy Giddy also has adorable hats, headbands and gift cards. All perfect to give away now or keep a collection on hand for birthday gifts.

small draw- color me a lion

Here at Small we love coloring in (each issue we have published a free downloadable drawing by a great illustrator. Click here to download any of the 20 coloring in pages).

Draw me a Lion was started by artist and illustrator Lisa, to share her love of drawing, creating making and telling stories. Her website has activities, prints, cards and coloring books all drawn in her sweet exubernt style.

Lisa has just added a free download section and right now you can download for free the name stickers pictured above.
