Need a cute idea for teacher's gifts. I filled them with jellybellies and a gift card. Can't believe we are done already. Summer vacation starts tomorrow, yea!
Frida Kalo atc swap. I haven't done any atcs in a while, so this was fun. I used a mixed media background that I painted and stamped and then added collage pieces to make up the composition.



Pics from the last day of school!

Well my computer is up and running again. I think that the surge protector shut off during the lightning and thunder storm we had here the other night. My best friend Maureen had lightning hit 2 doors down from her house. Caught a palm tree on fire and blew a hole through a brick wall. In other news, Henry had a water party at school on Friday, so we filled up our cooler with water balloons.

Another journal page for the swap I'm in, trying to stay on top of things.

This is one of my favorite portraits. Just thought I would share. I am having trouble with my computer at home, so I am checking on things on my breaks at work. Hope to be back in computer land soon.

Look who got some journal pages done today. I just had four left to do in the swap that I am participating in, so I got a wild hair and decided to make some progress on them. My students must have inspired me. The next few pics are of the art fair we had on Fri night at school. We sold the frames and part of the proceeds went to the school so it was a fund raiser as well. My students all did self portraits. They came out so good.

Been so busy I haven't had time to think. I made a huge list of things that I needed to get done and I still have two left to do. And they are the biggest two. Just need some chunks of time to sit down and focus. Just a week and a half til summer vacation. Can't wait.

Worked on this tonight. Feeling a little creative, and feeling the need to get working on this project that I have been just thinking about for a long time. Feels good to get going on it. Also, had to watch American Idol tonight. There were so many cool bands on, Emma kept asking me, who's that? Who's Kiss? Who's Queen? Who's Lionel Richie? I kept answering, "they're from the 80's" which dated me a bit.

One of my favorite atcs from early trading, that I kept because I liked it so much. What have you done that you have kept, couldn't trade or sell.
