Oh my gosh this website was discovered with my dear childhood friend Taylor. It is the best website I've seen in a while. We laughed so hard we were crying.

Local Library features future famous artist's work


This past year at school I've been focusing my projects around children's illustration. My students have studied illustrators from the 1800's all the way up to contemporary artists. We had a local children's illustrator that I know come speak to the classes as well as the local Children's Librarian come and talk about the Caldecott award. It has been really fun to research and teach and as a final project I decided to display the student's work at the public library on the island. It will be up for the month of May and if any of you are about go in and see it. It is really cool to see kids connect with art in such a tangible way and to learn something about the art that is closest to them.

For those of you who enjoyed my auto shop story you might also enjoy knowing that after driving around on our little island for less than 2 weeks with that sign in my car, the owner of the shop called me at home and after a long unpleasant conversation ended up refunding me all of my money.

Mother's day 2010





My sweet husband built me a mobile green house for mother's day. I am very excited and have already planted my tomatos, onions, basil and peppers in it. It was a beautiful day of hanging out with family and working in the garden.
