For this project, you will make a wall hanging that reflects your vision for the future (for success!). This way you can easily re-read it, recharge and renew your commitment each and every time you see it. Author Shone Cole (The Artistic Mother) will be there with you, every step by step of the way! Using everyday materials, you’ll glue, fuse, sew and Velcro together your dreams.
