This Week
1. I received so much helpful advice from online friends for technical questions I had (I'm not very "techie").
2. I met new friends in connection with my book that's coming out in June, Imogene and the Case of the Missing Pearls.
3. My art club students selected their art for our coming art show in March, and while I've been so pleased by the work of these students week-to-week, seeing their selections all together (a variety of lessons represented), I was dazzled all over again. They are ages 7 to 13, and I've posted some of their work on my Facebook from time to time.
What I love about this class is how committed they are to their work. Here are some

Sounds like you've had a productive and rewarding week. Definitely something to celebrate.
Wow! Your young students seem very talented. Hope you enjoy the blog hop. Lots of nice people here.
Hi, Marilyn, thanks for stopping by. Yes, it's so gratifying to teach these students. They are genuine art lovers.
Hi, Kate. Yup. I come home tired but happy on Thursdays, and yesterday I was particularly happy! Thanks for coming by.
Love the pictures. Too fun, and I love that they're really into their art. The challenge is to keep them from losing that as they get older.
Donna, that is so true. Everything is so oriented these days to making money, and of course the arts are the least remunerative path, even though the most fulfilling. I have hopes for many of these students, though. Their parents are into art, and they already know of famous painters. A couple have already said they want to be artists when they are grown.
What adorable artwork! I especially like the skulls in the Day of the Dead piece. Yay for new friends, getting helpful advice, and increasing interest in the your upcoming book. Have a lovely weekend! :)
Cool! I love the pictures! Welcome to the Hop. This is a fun one, and it has great people on it.
Cheers to you!
Thanks, Lexa, you do too!
Kelley, thanks for stopping by. You are right, it's a fun hop. A very positive one. Have a great day!
Fantastic artwork! Your books look good too... congratz! Let me know when it's out and I'll feature you on my blog :)
No wonder you write for children. These are inspiring!
Hi, Sharon, glad you liked them. These students inspire me for sure. (And I always check with them to see what they are reading . . .)
We are having an art show at Unversity Art store on March 14th. Looking forward to it, and I'll post pictures again.
Those are some great art pieces. What a great week.
Thanks, Murees.
Love the artwork! And your book cover/title!
Thanks, Jessica. I'm so inspired by the students every time I see their work. And I was very pleased how the cover turned out for my book. It's gotten a positive response.
Elizabeth good luck with your new book. I do really like the cover. Thanks for visiting my blog, always nice to meet up with a fellow writer. You might want to do my writing challenge on Wednesdays to write a short story about a picture. I'll be back!
Hi, Linda Kay, thanks for stopping by and following. Yes, I like the cover, too. When things settle down, I'll try to do your Wednesday writing challenge. I write sthort stories from time to time and enjoy that aspect of writing.
I love that you have a second creative venue and that you're helping children learn to express creativity. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by, Connie. I get so much fulfillment teaching this afterschool art class. I enjoy breaking away from creating with words.The kids are so involved, and art is so restorative.
Your students sound very inspiring :)
Hi, Keith. Yes, inspiring is the word for sure. Thursday class always gives me a real lift of spirit.
Wonderful celebrations! Your kids look to be very talented!
Hi, there, Cyborg Mom, yes, most of them are deeply into art at home and have had exposure, so they bring that talent with them and are very responsive, They are a real delight in my week.
