Day 8 - Creative?

     My creative juices this afternoon had to be put on hold a bit.   Tonight I had to work on lesson plans for the next week.  That involves a lot of creativity (at least to my way of thinking).  I make notes all over this piece of paper then from there I get to typing them into my favorite on line plan book - Lessonplan.com.  This is a fantastic resource, if you teach.  I would love to take time and draw and paint or something more relaxing, but duty calls!

    See you tomorrow or perhaps on Sunday with a few days post!

Day 7 - Tickled to Tangle challenge

    Okay the hard part is not the creative part of the challenge, it is trying to post everyday.  I can see this not happening.  If I could get my pinterest board to connect to the linky machine . . .  but I need help with that.  Oh well here goes.
     This piece was done for Adele Bruno's string challenge.

Have a great day!

Day 6 -Diva's Challenge

    For the challenge over at Diva's - number 199, can you believe it! - we had to use the tangle "hitched".  It was in my notebook, but not one I had really used.  Lots of time I put new tangles into my notebook and then never get back to working with them.  I have my tried and true favorites.
     I also am using this for my day 6 challenge over at Whimsy and Zen.  I am trying something different this year and putting all my tiles into my tangle calendar.  Just because it keeps them together.  We'll see if I keep that up.

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you have a very blessed day!

Create Each Day - Day 5

     I am participating in Suzy Mosh's "New to Me" challenge.  (Yes, I know I desperately needed another challenge!).  Her challenge yesterday was to use a tangle - or tangles - that begin with the letter T.  We were asked to choose ones we used less often, ones more new to us.  Here is my entry and also completes day 5 of the other challenge.

Now it is off to work on some more school work tonight! 

Create Each Day Challenge - Days 1-4

     I really want to be able to link up my pinterest board set up for this challenge.  But I cannot figure out how - yet.  I will.  I have learned a lot with this blog and I know I will persevere.  But if anyone can help me link a pinterest blog to a "linky" machine, I would love to know.  I have asked several but no response. 
     Here are days 1-4:

Jan. 1 - working in my Tangle A Day calendar

Jan. 2 - Square One FB challenge

Jan. 3 - Finished up my calendar page

Jan. 4 - January ATC challenge for Blue Twig Studio, "Circles"

      I seem to have done nothing but posts today, so far, now I have to really get creative and get some lesson plans done for this week - aargh! 

Every Inchie Monday - Egg

      I don't like eggs.  I will eat them fixed only certain ways, but I am not going to rush out and fix them.  Maybe it is in part that I really don't like breakfast.  I seem to be able to do eggs better for a supper meal.  I remember at Easter being with my grandparents and Papa used to tell me that I could not open my Easter basket until I had eaten an egg - or the Easter Bunny would take it back!  Now what sort of sense does that make?!  None.  But to a little girl dying to get to chocolate eggs and such, it was a way to get some nutrition in me, I suppose.  Either way, I never saw that "rascally wabbit" come around to reclaim anything!

     Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you have a very blessed day!  For me, it is back to working with my kiddos tomorrow!  Oh I have enjoyed this wonderful time off. 

Journal 52 - 2015!

     I am certain this wonderful feeling of being "on time" will not last.  Life will get in the way.  It always does.  But for now - I am finished with a journal prompt on time.  Yahoo!
     I found a Bible quote I liked with the word "path" in it.  I fancy lettered that on my paper and colored it in.  Then I searched for a maze on the internet (found a really cool site that I bookmarked for use in my classroom).  After printing several copies, I tore them into pieces to fit on my quote.  Chalked a bit over it to get rid of the bold white and voila!  I am done!  What do you think?

Journal 52 - 2014

      Since I am still playing catch up here are two more pages I finished this week.  Week 43 was "Stencil It".  I love the quote, but honestly the page leaves me wishing I could've done more.  For the prompt on week 44 - "Skyline" - I watercolored a skyline (I never claimed to be a painter) and then just added a quote.  Simple, but finished.

    Thanks for dropping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!
