					<description><![CDATA[I came upstairs to tuck my daughter in and found her wall plastered with fictitious missing pet posters. I cracked up because each one was carefully labeled, &#8220;THIS IS FAKE&#8221; lest someone think Salt and Jack were actually lost. I love writing activities that encourage imagination, I love them even more when my seven year old thinks them up herself. How much fun would this be &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re putting a Valentine twist on the Tissue Paper and Window Collage over at Filth Wizardry. The colors are just gorgeous and I couldn&#8217;t be happier with the finished result. The &#8220;how-to&#8221; over at Filth Wizardry calls for clear glue pens which I haven&#8217;t been able to locate. Instead, we used Elmer&#8217;s washable school gel (watered down) and foam brushes. The collage has held up nicely &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The librarian at my daughter&#8217;s school has created so much excitement by encouraging students to bringing in pumpkins carved or decorated as their favorite story-book character. She pulls the corresponding book off the shelf and displays it alongside its pumpkin twin &#8212; the kids are eating it up and the library looks amazing! These LITERACY LANTERNS make me smile!
