More Inspiration than Needed

CHA was really wild. I'll post pictures from home when I have a chance. I got to see so much and get a lot of really good ideas. I met lots of people from all over the world and got to see some famous (in the craft world) designers as well. There was so much to see, it was overwhelming. I brought home lots of catalogs. Let me know if you want to see them. I have an idea for starting an artist trading card swap, so watch for details. Maybe we can inspire each other.

Converse/Exciting Week

Okay, these are my birthday Converse. As you can see they have patches. I really like them and have been wearing them all week. Also, I took a picture of some of the paper mache bowls we have been making in art. They need to be sprayed with a clear coat before the kids can take them home. I love the bright colors they used to paint them with. They were painted with all the donated acrylic paint, so we are putting it to good use right away. I will be at CHA for the next 4 days. I am really excited. I'm not sure what to expect, but know it is going to be idea overload. Also too, the scrap fundraiser night is next Friday so this is an exciting week. I'm looking forward to it all. What exciting things do you have going on this week?

Celebrating

Just two more days until CHA. I can't wait. I have to get off the computer and make my namebagde holder. I have to make it really creative, as I am going to spend the weekend with the most creative people in the country. I'll definately post my experiences as this is the first time I get to go to a craft and hobby world fair. Thanks for all the birthday comments. Jill D. I hope you have been celebrating by leaving at 4:30 this week. I noticed your comment was left at 11:4osomething which is too late for a kindergarten teacher to stay up.

We have been paper macheing in art elective. I'll try to remember to take some pictures tomorrow. We are getting messy and loving it.

the latest

This is my latest digital scrapbook page. I am having fun with all the kits and stuff. I have been checking out all the posts on twopeasinabucket, trying to find out as much info as possible about CHA. Can't wait for this weekend. I need to find a namebagde holder and decorate it. Guess that is the thing to do. I'm excited to meet a bunch of really creative people at the convention. I'll let you know how it goes.

Happy Birthday To Me

Today is my birthday. I am wearing free dress to work and it is going to be a great day. I had lunch with mom and dad yesterday and this was the cake. It was really good. We played two-square in their familly room. It was fun. Tonight, Preston is making beef-strogonoff. I think that's how you spell it.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is my birthday. I'll not tell you my age. Hope you will leave a Happy Birthday comment on my post. I am working so hard on it. My birthday wish is that more peeps will enjoy it.

Grandparents Day

This is art from grandparents day at school. Emma made frames for her grandparents and they were so cute, I had to take a picture. The other is of a group collage that we did in 6th grade with the grandparents. It says "Joy is to Behold God in Everything." There are selfportraits in it. Can you find the Grandpa that thinks he looks like a clown portrait?
