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...

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  

you'll want to read her post. 

She shares a very uplifting story of Heather... 

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


Best, Vicki

SOUTHERN SNOWFLAKES!

January and February
bring snow projects galore.
Since we hardly ever see snow here 
in the deep, deep South 
my art students 
welcome 
the chance to create 
snowmen and snowflakes. 

Most have never actually seen or touched snow and 
some have no idea what a snowflake looks like.

Last week my K-2 art students 
had a ball creating 
snowflakes.
We used many different items...

We discussed SYMMETRY, but we also discussed ARTISTS' CHOICE...reason some have  6, 8 or more sides

Come on now...stretch your snowflake imagination.










we junk it up most of the time in my art classes.

Guess you could say these are 
Southern Snowflakes Y'all!


Best, Vicki
