Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are more powerful beyond measure. This is not an exact quote, but these words are something I hold on to along with many Bible verses. They remind me that I am POWERFUL... as a woman; as a mother; as a wife; as a teacher; as an artist and as an...

YOUTH ART MONTH ART SHOW 2012...YEAR IS WINDING DOWN!


It's Youth Art Month...
so this must be March!

Just look at how busy we have been this school year!

My students have no idea, 
but most of the art project ideas 
for the work shown here 
came from ART blogs or Pinterest


Who says I waste my time 
on this laptop??!!







 The Lions were one of the most *funnest* projects
 we did this year! 

Yeah, I found the lesson online.


 The Kimonos shown here were a last minute project after I found some little Popcorn Chicken boxes in our cardboard recycling bin at school...
just looked down as I was passing by 
and the cafeteria had tossed in 
a huge bag full of these little treasures...
God is so good to Art teachers!



 Got to brag again that we made the 
National Council of the Arts Report for 2011...just gotta!









Has your school had it's yearly art show yet, and how are you celebrating Youth Art Month?

                                                     Enjoy your Spring!

SIGH...POOR, POOR ME...WHAT'S A JUNKING GIRL TO DO?

I have a condition...a pitiful, lazy, unlike me condition. 
I have bloggers block...sigh.

But, I did want to share that JUNK is selling very well right now! Wouldn't it be hilarious if JUNK saved the day for our sluggish economy???!!! All of us JUNKERS know how wonderful and fulfilling the JUNKING life is, but for those who do not understand it, and even judge us, just a bit, it would be a very funny and ironic turn of events. Can't you just picture a superhero in a recycled T shirt with the word JUNK blazed across his chest? Think I'll draw a picture of that for Pinterest...sigh, got a fantasizing condition too. 


Anyway...
 (said like Ellen DeGeneres says it)...these BEAUTIFUL shutters that I posted about a while back are ALL gone!!!! While I was in my booth, plunderJUNK,  last Friday piddling around. a woman from Florida stopped in and took the last of them home with her..."YES!!!" (said like I say it!) Life is good in plunderJUNK world.



So while I do have bloggers block a bit, just wanted you all to know I am still around. I'll be back in the art room tomorrow, after a week off, can't wait to get paint everywhere with those sweet little ones I teach. Y'all have a wonderful week now, ya hear!




   Best, 
Vicki

PRAISES

Just a little sunny smile for this rainy day.   

You just never know
what moments will
make up the fabric
of an ordinary day.

These are the words of Suzanne from

She shares a very uplifting story of Heather... 

Be ready to sing praises, 
give thanks 
and 
shed some tears.


Best, Vicki
