Fly :: journaling


 Live


 Now.

 Fly.

 Stand upon a springboard of love, 
kindness, and respect...then leap. or fly.

 

Journaling felt really good today.
I needed it.
Art heals.

Gusts of Wind :: Journaling


Pastel washes, ink stamping,
white paint marker writing...
thoughts swirling...


 like leaves circling in another gust of wind.

 
Art Journal Spread. April 2014

Just me, finding a way to make April 28th 
not such a painfully hard day.

But hey, some days and some memories
are like that.

And that's okay.

Journaling & Springtime in 2nd Grade







We made simple but creative
"Bunny Bags"
to later fill with Easter grass
and jelly beans,
and peeps!








Our math centers
are for lots and lots of spiraling
review of skills,
but they are engaging and fun.



I am now addicted to Tpt
(Teachers Pay Teachers)
online classroom resources.
These are by Amy Lemons.





Even if we still have snow,
we do have pussy willows!


I am on my spring break this week,
and am lovin' it!
I got to babysit my granddaughter,
Andi,
all afternoon!
I will show pictures...I promise!

Thanks for visiting,

In the Mood...


...to start organizing,
 sorting,
purging,
spring cleaning,
and rearranging.

Fresh is the word!

How 'bout you?

In and Out


In my head and in my heart (above).
...


Out my window:






The howling winds and the hail
are what actually woke me up this morning!
Hail on snow, on ice, on frozen mud
in spring.

Hahaha, real funny.

{I think I hear Christmas music again.}

Happy Saturday anyway!!!
