Versatile Blogger Award

Green background with handwritten script and a white floral design. Text: "The Versatile Blogger Award".

Hey!  I received a Versatile Blogger Award from Katie Morris, Adventures of an Art Teacher
Thanks for this award!  I know these awards go around the blogs and it is a really great way for people to connect and find new blogs.

Here are 7 crazy, exciting things about myself:  I’ll try to add some different things besides the usual.

1.  This will be my 9th year teaching art, my 5th year at my current school.
2.  I teach at K-6  art at a private school, for academically gifted and talented students. 
3.  I love chocolate.  I’m addicted.  I seriously have some sort of chocolate every day, even if it is just one little wrapped piece.
4.  I’m also addicted to diet pepsi.  I know that’s not the greatest for you, but I love it.
5.  On the flip side, I’m also a super duper fruit and veggie eater.  I usually have about 8-10 servings of fruit/veggies a day.   Pretty much anytime I go out to eat I get a salad.
6.  This summer is going to be awesome!  I have signed up for a watercolor painting class for myself and a baby/parent art class for my daughter and I.
7.  My baby is now 18 months old and she is so adorable.  She constantly says “More!!”  and we are always trying to figure out what she wants more of.  She also can say peas, shoes, baby, fish, woof, Elmo and several other words.  Here she is:

I thoroughly enjoy making my own art and you can see some of it here:
