Last day in class with the students. Can actually say that was a pretty good year. Tomorrow's the all school picnic though I'll spend most of the day....you guessed it. Packing!!
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.

Day 142 (1603)
6 hours at school packing boxes after we set the alarm off. Not including everything I brought home, I'm up to 5 large boxes and 32 regular boxes pack.
Whoop!
It doesn't look like I've packed much, but I have.
I was so grateful for a beautiful, quiet (for NOMI) evening with no breeze so I could put together all the kindergarteners books of colors in between loads of laundry. Yay! Such a beautiful Spring evening!
Just keeping tonight's piece simple.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 141 (1602)
TGIF! Kiddy Karnival with whistles (bad Rich!), packing, critique/graded/portfolio checked /Artsonia photoed 4th grade, weeding and stone edging lowering.
Highlight after going to the gym early stopped at Caribou. By the time I got to the counter, my coffee was made before I ordered it. A bit scary since it's been about a month since I've neen stopping there in the morning. I try to be extra nice 'cause the other customers seem so cranky! It pays to be nice and shout out to you awesome batista!
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 139 (1600!)
Today's piece sums up the day except for noisy kids! Did some more backing of the room. Who other than an art teacher pack a couple boxes with corrugated cardboard and another with paper towel tube station? Made me chuckle...do people still chuckle?
The creature reminded of a kindergartener who just couldn't pull it together today! Whine and tears.
Peace and fabulousness.

Where did the day go? I was power scrapbooking the well wishes for Ms Woods all day. When I looked at the clock while cleaning up thinking it was 5, it was almost 8! Yikes!
Hopefully no teaching dreams tonight.

Happy Friday! Woke up way too early but got in an extra long work out in, had awesome classes today, turned in my floor tiles design for the art room (students are loving it) and now ready for a weekend of catching up and doing a project others thought of and I get to execute (you know how that goes fellow artists). Grateful itll be a bit chilly. Will make it easier to stay in and get 'er done!Have a great weekend!

YAWN! ! ! !
Thank God my students were awesome today. Hit the wall this morning (metaphorically? Is that a word- I know it's a word but is it the right word. Lol Good grief!)
BUT it sounds like we can get boxes tomorrow so I can start packing the art room (yay) and I spent the evening mapping out how I want the new art room floor tiles to look. May have to readjust the top design in the morning. The plan is due tomorrow, but I have my top 3 ready.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 130 (1591)
Oh Monday. A blur of activity as I try to catch up. Kinda need a break. Almost decided to take a break from this blog as well. Not quite ready. Just need a dip back in my creative pools, but hard to do with the project left to finish by Wednesday, grading, updating Artsonia, assemble kindergartener color books, planning the floor patterns for the art room (who knew that was a thing) and packing the entire art room to 3 different locations in a way that will be easy to unpack in fall for the new curriculum that I'm writing. Yay me?
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 128 (1589)
Whew! After all the hard work for the past several weeks, last night's event went amazingly! We celebrated the 29 years of Dorwatha Woods being principal of our school Ascension. Wonderful evening with an amazing turnout. But after being the emcee, creating 20 table settings plus artwork, I hit the wall. But it was worth it.
Now all I have to worry about is 4th quarter grades and packing up the entire art room for the summer. Meh. Lol.
Peace and fabulousness.
Oh and sorry for phoning it in the past week! I almost stopped, but instead did the cheesy chocolates. Should be back to normal (?)
