Celebrated the last week of September,  National Keep Kids Creative Week was started in the fall of 2003 by illustrator and author Bruce Van Patter. Bruce created National Keep Kids Creative Week to encourage kids to use their ideas and imaginings instead of relying on video games and television to do it for them. Once word got around, teachers began to celebrate it in their classrooms and since 2006, KKCW (Keep Kids Creative Week) has been listed in Chase’s Calendar of Events, a high-profile, national directory of holidays and celebrations.

J&O Fabric Award of the Week: Alice In Wonderland!

While Tim Burton’s 2010 version of the infamous 1865 novel by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson is nothing less than an acid trip down memory lane for many who remember the fancied tale from their childhood of a little girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures. And while many renditions have made their way onto the big screen, between the hard covers of a book, and into the hearts of both the young and the old, there is no timeless treasure quite like this one.
