CALL for ENTRIES: Nest at the Torpedo Factory

THIS BIRDIE WEARS PJs

I think nesting is common to the winter months and holidays.  For some of my more responsible friends and peers, nesting means cleaning, organizing and decorating.  My version of nesting?  Mismatched pajamas, a quilt we call “the sleepy maker” and sappy, corny or tear-jerker Saturday movies (think Lifetime and Hallmark) …popcorn & chocolate & pizza, oh my.  This Call lets you explore the concept of the Nest. 

Happy Holidays from www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com!
