Post 54 - Spring break, Easter egg fun and a couple of slideshows added to my blog....

Blogging my evolution as an artistic art educator - An art-based experience... 



Sorry for being away for a while... Things have been "interesting" lately, to say the least.

I have been on Spring Break for the past several days, (four, of which, I spent in New York meeting my new nephew, and Saturday I actually got to go on a "real date", with my husband), then there was Easter... Of course, before that, the teaching experience had it's "intrigues"... My White Knight has come through for me, so I will just "keep the faith", be grateful, and do what I do through the end of this very long, very strange, very complicated, very engaging and quite fruitful school year...

The fun part of my Spring Break started in New York, with my sister, Alexia, brother-in-law, Sean, and new nephew, Desmond... Four-months old, and saaaaaaweet as can be!


Was I right? Or, was I RIGHT??... Smart, sweet, easy-going, and he loves his Aunt Pammy, of course!

I also went to an incredible French bistro in Hell's Kitchen, with Alexia and Desmond, while I was visiting... Yummy pastries, coffee, and FAB eggs!... Plus, we saw this mural, which I had to photograph for my students... If you knew what we just went through, with the design of the student handbook, you would know why my kids will find this mural humorous, not to mention very cool!


Let's see... For Easter, Josie and I decorated some extra fun eggs... Monster eggs, to be precise... And, they turned out AWESOME! Plus, we had a lot of fun doing them together...




And, finally... Since Summer is coming, and I want to boost my scrapping habits again, I have decided to enter another competition... It is for a site that I find worthy, because they advocate writing/journaling about personal aspects and "big ideas", not just the typical "potty training and birthday stories"... So, I have added two SLIDESHOWS to the left side-bar, which feature my artwork and scrapbooking. 

Eventually, I will be adding other SLIDESHOWS... Details of techniques, page design work, student work, school assignments, etc... Please feel free to peruse what I have added... I appreciate your .02, as always... 

Safety, health, happiness, and peace... Pam
