Two Tough Challenges

      The ladies of the challenge world have ganged up on me or maybe my brain is on summer shut down!  Seriously.  The last post - Bright Owl's - was hard.  The template gave me fits.  Then the inchie!  The word "light" was our theme.  I just couldn't seem to get happy with any ideas.  My final thought was the one I went with - "the light at the end of the tunnel",  I used markers and colored pencils to do the tunnel, then put a gold gem at the center.  What do you think?

     Then I was off to Diva's.  Oh dear.  I am still not certain I understood the directions.  But I had fun.  We were supposed to (I think), do a piece without using tangles or tangleations.  I did. . . I think.  Like I said, it was fun, but it may be all wrong.  I went over to look and see what others had done (see side-bar) and at that time no one had posted.  Either way, here it is.

      I am off now to work on blog number two!  Yep, you read that right.  I have two huge interests.  One of course, is my art world.  I feel I have to be creative each day or I can't function.  My hands are constantly busy.  I never just watch TV or movies, I have to be busy while I do that.   My other "world" is my teaching.  For sometime I have followed several different education blogs and wanted to participate in their discussions, but did not feel that I really wanted to connect to here.  This week I am starting a book study with a group on-line (The Book Whisperer) and I needed a place to write about it on.  I also would like to talk about my years in education.  So blog number two is being developed.  As soon as I get it up and running I will post my link.  I would love to have you drop by and say hello - and maybe even follow me there if you share the interest.  You will hear a bit about it here, but I promise not to bore you (too much).
    Thanks for dropping by and leaving me some sunshine.  Hope your week is going well.
