Celebrating Helpful Friends and Student Work

Last week I signed up for Lexa Cain's blog hop: Celebrate the Small Things. I'm a great believer in noticing and being thankful for things that happen daily and weekly as well as the big events, so I like the idea of this blog hop very much.

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

samples: A few times I've forgotten to take my camera with me to the community center where the class is held. So not every lesson is represented here.
