The Pen and Inkpot

I own a set of watercolour paints and I highly recommend getting some if you don't already. You can buy sets of paints and equipment from art shops such as art riot. In this post I will show you how to use and care for your paints ensuring that you get the most out of them. The paints I have are the Mont Marte 12 pack water colours in tubes. I really like the tubes because they are easy to use and mix although I haven't really used many other sorts.  Use: Watercolour paints are so simple to use and are so versatile.

He is writer for children but anyone can enjoy these books. This one is about a girl who has a magic finger and when she gets angry, she points it and something magical happens. This book is very funny with the use of irony. I have read this countless times. Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend-Matthew Green As you can tell from the titl

Yes, I am a Christian. I go to church with my family and I love to surround myself with other Christians. I strive to make myself a better person and there are many ways in which I can get closer to God. I will share with you a few that I do. There are three main things I do in my daily routine, the first usually happens in the morning after breakfast. It is a more recent addition to my faith journey that started as a New Year's resolution this year and I have managed to keep it up since then. It is daily scripture writing, so I take a few verses straight from the Bible each morning and write them out, highlighting verses that stand out to me. I think that this is a great way to spend time with God and really sink in what the Bible says. Also, in the evenings after dinner, I sit with my family and we read  from the Bible, the readings for Sunday at church. We also read devotional books such as "The Big Book of Animal Devotions" by  William. L. Coleman. This has
