A word about the side projects {and giveaway winner}

Over the past little while I've teasingly* mentioned a few little side projects/ collaborations that i've been working on. One of them was the Kids Bedroom Giveaway that launched last week and another is an amazing giveaway 'for the home' that will be announced over the weekend.

I've also got a couple of other things in the pipeline.

As a Visual Arts teacher, I'm a fan of anything creative, especially creative people. I though it would be fun to try and incorporate some more Art into this space here so i've been putting together an 'Artists Series'. I've been in contact with a few of my favourite designers, illustrators and artists and have been working on some collaborations with them.

Over the coming months you will see a range of blog headers here at The Beetle Shack that have been crafted by true Creatives. It will be an opportunity for us to meet some great designers and learn more about their business, practice and passions**.

I for one am excited.

I'm also working on another little something that will be revealed in full in the next week or so.

But for now, why not head over here and see if you or someone you know won our massive Kids Room Giveaway. If it wasn't you, don't despair, we have another incredibly exciting package launching  on Sunday.





* i'm immature enough to still believe that having top secret information is seriously fun ;)

** if you're an artist, illustrator or designer (or know someone who is) and would like to be involved, i'd be delighted to hear from you.
