Our little dog of 17 plus years died a few weeks ago and I still can't really talk about her. Suffice to say that she lived up to her name, Sparkle, by adding a sparkly glint to our lives. Her constant sweetness is missed. I'm also unaccustomed to just walking into my kitchen to silence. Sadness still rules, so a true tribute later.
Everyone at school is involved in in-service days, textbook counts, lesson plans, student performance evaluations, and simple unpacking what was tucked away for the summer. Well, it is not all that simple. Hubbes talked me into painting my Whole Artroom last month and now on top of that effort is helping me move everything brought home back into it's rightful place. He says it is like moving a child into a university dorm room Every Year. I say, so?
I have begun my sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project! The website is http://www.thesketchbookproject.com.
Pictures of progress soon to come. But I digress.
The goal of the next few days is to ready the artroom for my students, label the new, exciting, wonderfully magical new textbooks, hang the first week's art prints and order supplies. The artkids will be surprised by how much real drawing we will do this year.
Oh, I have a website now. (Oops, digressing again) It's www.jpauletterickert.com. Coolness, huh? But still under construction. You're gonna have to wait for it. I have a bunch of masks to show you, but some need tweaking before they go online. And unfortunately this takes a backseat to art lesson planning. A new crop of minds to enlighten. What fun!
So all is going well in whimsyworld, and next week when I walk into the artroom, unlike my kitchen, it won't be silent.
