If I ever have kids, I hope to be like Merrilee of the Mer Mag blog. She's always inviting and involving them into her creative life and it looks like a blast. Not to mention that her kids are adorable and quite photogenic. One of their holiday projects this year is thumbprinted Christmas tree cards. What I liked most about it is that the making of the cards seemed to inspire her boys to really write in the cards as well.



Look at that face! How is that not a future Alliance member in the making? Merrilee also has a download of the tree graphic, all ready for your inky fingers on her blog. Keep on writing boys {and everyone else too}!

P.S. As with all free downloads, it's always polite to say thank you and show the creator how you used their design. I think they appreciate it.
