Productive day at school with no students and a quiet Halloween evening w/ headache+ . Happy Halloween.
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.

Good gravy, another one of the those days... Highlight: they boarded up the entire backporch on the house next door. Sweet!

Dat 300 (1031)
For a Monday, I can't complain. Best part was putting a few more spaces of the garden to bed for winter. So much more to do...
Starting to get the art club applications in. Fun to see what they answer, especially what they think they can bring and what they want to do.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 299 (1030)
Not even sure what to write....so I won't. Just the odd space I'm in, like standing in an X in the road during a foggy morn. (That would a cool image to capture.)
The photo doesn't quite capture the new turn my pieces are taking on...
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 297 (1028)
Happy Friday! What a bittersweet good day. We went on our fundraising walk with the students today. Beautiful day! I got to hang with the 5th graders on the first half and on the way back I got to get to know one of our fourth graders who was having a little problem with the walk. And then one of my 6th graders came in and told me it was his last day today. Great kid, really artistic and unique. Sad to see him go. Also I got to meet a neighbor tonight.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 296 (1027)
What a odd day of extremes. Rollercoaster-ish with a side of freak show. In the midst of it all, I may have the opportunity to meet Tim Gunn, which would make it so worthwhile! Just gotta look over the budget a bit.
Peace and fabulousness .

Not to bad of a Monday, all things considered. The key sometimes when possible is to distract the mind fully...

Day 290 (1021)
A great day away from school, even though I kept thinking it was Saturday. Spent some time going through stuff in the process of downsizing. Came across some old t-shirts from 10 years ago and can't believe how much I weighed back then. Even after loosing this last 10 pounds it feels wild to remember what I weighed. Peace and fabulousness

Day 288 (1019)
A full day of parent teacher conferences. They all went really well, except the one that didn't show up lol. I mixed in quite a few positive ones because I love to see the expression on parents faces. I can't imagine being a parent and having to go to conferences, especially if your child is struggling in any way. Cheers to all you parents out there.
Couldn't believe all the police activity in a sauce on my way home afterwards. It was crazy.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 287 (1018)
The highlight of today has to be painting with kindergarteners. It was also very nice spring day oops I mean fall, you can see where my mind is.
Met with a group of people whose lives seem so far removed from mine. Interesting.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 286 (1017)
Monday has become last year's Tuesday. So bummed I wore a short sleeve shirt to school today since my classroom was once again very very cold. It actually felt warmer outside than in my classroom.
Right now it feels like certain parts of my life are either going twelve steps back, two steps forward, totally stopped or have fallen in a very deep hole. Hoping to get some answers and/or direction soon.

A very nice day visiting with family. Also got to enjoy some fall foliage.
Today's piece is inspired by my niece Corrine and her attempt at breaking out of her crib.

Day 276 (1007)
Good gravy can't believe this was such a long week! But at least I ended it with two out of 3 great classes. I also stayed late to get some stuff done. I feel like I'm almost getting caught up after jamageddon.
Bonus: got a sweet surprise in the mail from my nieces
/sister and brother in law.
Hello weekend!
Peace and fabulousness.
