School, Sketchbooks, and Shoes!

Whew! What a week it's been!!! It's great to be back to school. I've got a new room- much bigger than last year, and it has Windows!!!! I'm thrilled with my new space, but it kind of makes me feel "new" all over again. I don't have any pictures of the room, yet, but i'll add some when I do.

As a part of teaching full year 7th grade art, I'm putting a spin on their sketchbooks! We are taking blank Composition journals and transforming them into Artist Journals. We painted the covers today, and next week we'll start altering he pages! I've never done this before, so I'm learning right along with the kids! ...once again, i'll have to add pictures later!

Lastly, I got some great finds today at Goodwill! I wandered over there today, half in a trance after a long week of teaching, just to zone out and browse, when something caught my eye! Upon closer examination, I saw these:
Nine West, black, pointy toe, stilletos, Size 7- PERFECT!!! The best part of all is that they were 50% off, making them a wopping $2.00!!!! Thank you Good will!!!

You Potter women have all the luck! I don't think I have ever, in my whole life, found a good find at any thrift store. I'm so jealous!
