I gave this subscription along with another magazine as a gift to my grpcyias-design-thpe daughter. Her response was “I got my magazines today and they’re really nice! It’s almost like getting a book because they’re so artfully laid out. It’s definitely something I will save after I read.”
Wow! that is quite the lineup of summer chalk fun. Hard to pick a favorite – the glow-in-the-dark chalk sounds really cool. Sharing!
