Summer Fun Project - Sharpie Tie Dye

We had a very special guest blogger this week. In her (Y)ou (O)only (L)ive (O)once List, Victoria H. shared that she wanted to be an art teacher. This summer, she and her Mom did a great art project and they wanted to share (not only does this accomplish her desire to "Be An Art Teacher," but it also clearly illustrates her sweet nature of sharing and teaching).

Our CurtsyGirl (and fashionista), Victoria H. has a cool summer project to share with you!
