I finished another shelf in my magic library mini-kit. I changed up the colors again and painted the little trees (need more practice with tiny trees). #gettingcrafty #art

Finished up this building block set this morning. There are lights in the waterfall; my one complaint is that they are multicolored, like Xmas lights—wish they were all white or blue. Other than that, beautiful! 🌸🌴🎋

When you immerse yourself in the fantasy genre, what type of glasses (if any) do you like your mentor to where?
Do you prefer the round glasses that frame the eyes (maybe even magnifying them) or the half lenses that only seem to work when they are reading?

I thought the original brown from the kit was boring, so I zhuzhed it up. What do you think? #gettingcrafty #art

When you are interacting with fantasy stories, how do you like the facial hair of your wise old mentors?
Do you prefer a long, flowing beard or a short well-trimmed one?

Teacher appreciation awards went out this morning. They were all song-based. I’m proud that I got the Weird Al one. I feel like the VPs get me… they really get me. 🤓😝🏆

My youngest is 22 today. So in the spirit of generosity and celebration, I only beat him (and the others!) by a few strokes in both our games of mini-golf. ❤️🎂⛳️

At the Oregon coast for a few days with the family. Oceans are one of my happy places. 🌊

In my journal, I occasionally work on writing exercises. This one is based on Fitzgerald's use of color in The Great Gatsby.
Based on my WIP, I assigned colors as metaphors or symbols. This was fun and helped me figure out some of the vibe for my story. Do you do color work for your writing?

Hand making the ornaments I’m giving to my kids this year. I had to get started early.
This is my first beaded cross-stitch (I’ve done plenty w/out beads before). I’m liking it. What do you think?

A new haiku for you:
Spring
Sunshine becomes blooms
Sprouting up from the rich soil
Hay fever arrives!

We escaped from Dragon Tower with 3 minutes and 43 seconds to spare! The ballista battle was a bit hairy, but we did it! Yay! 🐲🏰🤓 #escaperoom #vr

A student made this beautiful flower for me to thank me for being there to listen. I felt that this is too special to leave in my classroom. I brought it home so I can see it every day. 🤓🌹
