Happy Easter
Sis had a large tube put in for her lung and then they sent her to Abott. Tomorrow they decided what to do next, possibly surgery :/
Peace and fabulousness.
I took on the challenge of being creative at least once a day for the year 2012 using color. Looking back at all the pieces from 2012, I realized the ones that stood out and gave me the most joy, were the creatures (sad frog, the monsters,...) 2013 was the year of creatures. This year (2014) I'm continuing with the creatures but making them around the theme of children's stories/nursery rhymes. When all the characters are finished, I'll assemble them into a story picture.

Friday, Good Friday, day off Friday! Woke up early, hit the gym finally and treated myself to an ok lunch.
After looking at yesterday's piece, I decided to do what she was chasing after, today's creature.

Day 86 (451)
Pushed it hard today and stayed late at school and got a lot done. Starting to get a wee bit of spring fever!
Some of my students really liked that yesterday's creature was wearing a dress, so this one is too.
Hoping for sleep tonight.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 85 (450)
I hope today's piece makes up for yesterday's hideousness!
Sometimes being caught in the middle of so many worlds can be crushing and silencing... But how long can one be pushed, twisted, squished and silenced before erupting or having your very being just fade away?
Peace and fabulousness.
Day 84 (449)
AHHHH! They finally fixed the radiators in my classroom! It was like a sauna this morning...no matter how many windows I opened or fans I turned on it didn't cool. Luckily they came in relatively early so only 2 classes had to suffer : ) It was a day of getting things done, since I want to have all finished, set, and planned before I get a week off for Spring Break! No big plans, I just like to come back to a room that's ready to go vs a room that full of things that need to be finished.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 81 (446)
Happy Friday. Another hot day in the classroom room. Disappointment in the not having the heat turned off. Shudder to think what my classroom will be like on Monday after a weekend with the radiators at full blast.
Did a simple paper piece that came to me while seeing this pink piece of paper.
Have a great weekend.
Peace and fabulousness.

Happy first day of Spring! Here in Minneapolis, we woke up to a balmy 4 degrees! Yep it's Spring!
Peace and fabulousness!
Day 78 (443)
Took a sick day at work today and just slept in. After not getting much sleep all weekend while housesitting and now a cold, decided it was probably a wise idea. Glad I did. 12 hours I slept!
Growing up, we weren't raised to lay around when you were sick. We still had to get up, do any chores or what have you. Laying around in bed all day was not an option and is still not for me. It is an option, but one I chose not to take.
Did a odd creature today, blaming it on the head cold. : )
Peace and fabulousness!

Day 77 (442)
Another snowy commute, but spring is coming!
After almost a week of house/kitty sitting it sure nice to be home. It's nice to have everything at hand to do my creatures. I'm also so looking forward to going to bed! How sad is that lol.
Still have a cold.
Peace and fabulousness.
BONUS!
The boy is dressed in our school uniform. The kindergarteners were arguing over whether it was them or not.
Peace and fabulousness!

Day 71 (436)
What a day! Even by Tuesday's standards!! Great highlights (Tammy gets to go home today!!!) and low points (It was announced that Pastor Mark Denyes passed away). Add the other Tuesday business, an added project I needed to do with the students requested by an outside source needing it NOW and an added meeting that I was to present at.... all things considered, it was a good day.
A simple paper piece as I realize I need a break, vacation.....
Peace and fabulousness.

Fun day with the students, lots of paint, everywhere.
Here's a paper diva for ya.
Peace and fabulousness.
Day 65 (430)
What a lovely sunny afternoon! Great day with the students, came home started my switching up the areas in my house that just are not working. It's those little things that you see day in and day out, that make you think I should move that, put it away, switch it around, etc.. that add little bits of stress. It is so freeing to take care of it and later when you walk by it, it's a bit liberating.
Today's piece, I just made. Started by cutting out the shorts (longing for Spring) and it just went from there.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 64 (429)
Nothing like 9" of snow, 2/3 of it having to be shovelled very early in the morning. Seeing so much new snow first thing in the morning, well let's just say it felt like a small balloon inside quickly deflated. Actually made it to work on time. Very frustrating when almost all the other metro schools (except for 3 districts) declared a snow day. :( oh well, you just make the most of it and create a paper snowman that sums it all up.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 62 (427)
A wonderful Sunday. We had a send off for the now former Senior pastor of our church. His passionate way of preaching will be missed. Also got to the library and found some fun new books!
Took a lot of left over pieces and made this dragon type creature.

Day 61 (426)
Beautiful sunny days, got my taxes done, ran at the gym and made 2 pieces....had a moment of panic when I thought forgot to do one yesterday, but then I remembered. Whew!
The mouse is the front of a card I made for Pastor Dwight who is retiring from the pulpit. He speaks with great passion, heart and care. I wish him the best in his next endeavor.
Peace and fabulousness
Day 60 (425)
