These are two of my favourite photos of my Berlin granddaughter, the Divine Miss Zizi Matilda, then aged three and a half, taken when we were all in Albuquerque, New Mexico USA, in late 2012, for my daughter's teaching work in the dance department of the University of New Mexico. I was there in my favourite role as Granny/Nanny. Zizi's now five and a half and will be coming with her parents and baby brother for four months to Brisbane in January next year. Guess who's a happy granny?

SoulCollage® have now published a book about making SoulCollage® cards with kids, entitled, 'How to Make MeCards4Kids™: Creative Expression for Children and the Grownups in their Lives' by Nancy Weiss and Jane Raphael.
MeCards4Kids™ allows the inner life of the child to become more visible. Through their collages and accompanying poems, children develop a greater sense of belonging to themselves. They find greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and real joy at being seen. ~~from How to Make MeCards4Kids™
I'm so looking forward to making some more 'MeCards' with Zizi Matilda while she's here and helping her dialogue with them using the kid-friendly techniques outlined in the book. She made some with me while I was in Berlin at the end of last year and absolutely loved it. She especially loved that the cards were just about her.

Here is a video of co-author, Nancy Weiss, explaining the process to a group of children:
I've ordered some copies of the book from the USA to sell through the Shop page of my blog, so if you're interested, please email me and I will let you know when they arrive.
