It was this big!

In my family, there is a joke about things being "THIS BIG"...




When I was little I saw a spider that was about the size of a football, and at five years old, I thought it was better to show the size with my hands rather than try to explain the size. So I said the spider was "THIS BIG" with my arms extended as far as they could go.






I don't think anyone else thought the spider was really "THIS BIG", but in my mind it really was!




Ever since then, whenever my family wants to over-exaggerate the size of something, they say it is "THIS BIG", which has stuck with us ever since.

ALLEMANSRÄTTEN

Allemansrätten is the Swedish word meaning it is every person's right to roam the world, see the world, and explore the world because it belongs to all of the people of the earth.




Allemansrätten is my family's moto. We love the world and we love to travel!! The world is filled with wonderful people, ideas, places, and creations. Everyday new things and ways of life are being created. 




Today, is the creation of Artful Voyage, which is the creation of my family's documented school and travels on this blog. :) 




Right now, we are leaving behind the antiquated traditional school system to create our own way of living and learning in the world!




Thank you for reading!

Welcome!!

Thank you for visiting my blog!

Today, I created the framework for my blog. It is an educational repository where I can post my school work, art, essays, photos, videos, and so forth.

While I'd like to keep customizing my blog, mom said that I need to go do my homework.
