Day 15 of the 15 day Challenge!

 After several months of trying to figure out how I was going to take the art journal, that I made, with me to Italy I made the decision to take it apart and just take the 2 signatures/sections I made for the city of Rome. 

I purchased post cards from Italy at the International Festival that all of our 7th grade students attend each year.  I addressed some of the post cards so that I could send them back home to family members. I am so excited about this trip!  It is so hard to put into words what this means.  I have dreamed of this day for over 3o years!  This year has been a year for setting goals and going after them one at at time.  Getting on Facebook, starting a blog, setting up Skype and work toward my trip to Italy.  I had planned on taking my lap top, so that I could blog about my trip from Italy, but decided to pack light this trip.
Next blog entries will be pictures from Italy! Ciao for now! 

Day 14 Bella

Bella decided to take Elmo's pacifier.

Day 12 of Challenge

Page from one of my art journals.  I took a couple of ATCs and incorporated them into a page of my journal.  It is fun to start with just the ATC and then add to it.

Day 11 Painting for my living room

This is a painting that I did for my living room.  I just wanted to have some fun and create a painting using colors that would go with everything in the living room.  It was so much fun!  I would love to have the time to be in my art studio  right now painting instead of grading students art work but I am grateful I have a job!
