Giveaway #26 is a little late this week (my apologies!) and it’s a Christmas offering!

Karen Cheung has offered ONE lucky giveaway winner a pack of four very witty Christmas cards and envelopes in a biodegradable cello bag, plus an original pencil drawing of a critter on 300gsm watercolour paper. (You can see more critters in her Etsy shop).

Giveaways on Pikaland are global – meaning that EVERYONE from ANYWHERE can enter! Comment on this post to be in the running to win the pack by the 26th of November.

P/S: From next week onwards giveaways will resume on Tuesdays, and I’ll also resume regular postings. Thanks so much to everyone for putting up with my erratic schedule for the past week, and especially to Racheal who has been filling in while I’m away!

UPDATE: Commenting has now closed, thanks for participating!

Not me, but Keri Smith did.

I am a big advocate for change in the education system, particularly because I was an ackward child that kept asking a lot of questions that no one wanted to answer. I was happy to read that I wasn’t the only one who struggled with this!

From thinking that children these days aren’t being stimulated enough creatively, to dealing with people who lack that eagerness to learn new things (mostly because they grew up in that environment) – I have a bone to pick with the system.

So read on to what Keri has to say – I am inspired, and I’m sure you will be too.
