Read MoreHow is your Fall bucket list coming along? What? Don't have one yet? Well, me either . . . . until today, that is. I actually have had one in my head for a while. You know, all those things that you want to do once the weather gets cooler, the days get shorter and the colors begin to change?! Putting it down on paper somewhere seems to help me get organized enough to actually do some of them, too!
This morning, I made a very simple printable Bucket List that I can post on our refrigerator. We've already done a couple of the items and there will probably be more that I want to add, as well. There is something so very satisfying about checking off boxes on a list!
If you would like to make your own list, hop on over to my shop and download the FREE file. Included in the download will be the completed bucket list that I am using, as well as a blank one that you can add your own activities to. I think I'm going to need to print it out as well, so that I can add a few more fun things to my list!

Read MoreMy experience as a teacher, mother and grandmother has shown me that elaborate setups and materials are not necessary to create meaningful experiences for the children in your life. Simple, everyday play can be very important and can create life-long memories when shared with a caring person in their life. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, neighbor, teacher or nanny, the emotional connection you have with a child is far more important and long-lasting than any toy they could ever receive. Dot-to-Dot helps to provide the materials and instructions to create those connections through ordinary play.
Hello! My name is Linda Perkins. I was born and raised in northwest Louisiana and loved raising my family here as well. After spending many years teaching young children with special needs (and a lifetime exploring creative arts) I began painting and creating digital art and have fallen in love with the art of surface design.
I love being outdoors, surrounded by flowers, insects and birds and I hope that I can pass on that love of nature to you through my designs. Having spent most of my life sewing, I am always on the lookout for interesting fabrics for various projects and when I can’t find them, I have been often create them myself. Now, it’s time to share them with others as well.
