I went to the Yakima Arboretum for the first time yesterday. It was a beautiful time to go because of the #fallcolors. I picked up a few things to draw but didn't do anything onsite. #yakima #arboretum #YakimaArboretum #nature #washingtonstate

Dinovember crafts after #storytime crafts at the #library this week! I like the one with two eyes! But this eye stickers are pretty fun. I don't blame them! #childrenslibrarian #Dinovember #dinosaurs

Finally finished another week in my #dailydrawing book. Hoping to get caught up. The boxes are an exercise from *Make Sneaky Art* by Nishant Jain. I haven't finished the book but I would already recommend it! #sketch #doodle #naturesketch #drawing #booksky

After #storytime at the #library yesterday, I put out monster shapes, sticker eyes, paper shapes and crayons and colored pencils. Here are some of the #monsters they came up with. The last girl came later and cut 2 monsters and combined them! #childrenslibrarian #kidscrafts #kidscreativity

Some of the drawings from the #drawalong #storytime last night at the #library. I did a couple simple draw and tell stories and then they could choose either a #whiteboard or a #chalkboard to draw on. We ended drawing a monster and a ghost (not pictured) together. #childrenslibrarian #kidsart

Went to the fun Screech at the #REACH event for the #library last night. We made bat puppets. They came out so cute! I had the die cut machine so they mostly colored before I cut it out which was fun! #kidsart #kidscrafts #childrenslibrarian #museum #richland #easternwashington #batappreciationweek

I went to a conference last weekend. The very first session I went to had these finger labyrinths sitting at each spot. Big sigh of contentment. Also some art on the campus and some decorative concrete in the garden. #labyrinth #garden #publicart #seattle #southseattlecollege #clouds

Two more weeks in my #dailydrawing book. Some sketches of things I picked up (including some goatheads that I really really didn't want to pick up) and some doodles. #sketch #naturesketch #doodle #goatheads

I had a chance to walk through the Chinese Garden at South Seattle College on a break from my conference. I'm guessing those metal light covers are stunning when it's dark and the light shines through. If you live nearby, I recommend a stroll. 🧡 #fallcolors #autumn #nature #garden #seattle

Activity from after Wednesday's #storytime at the #library. They could choose a pear or an apple and glue tissue paper pieces to color them. We ended up with a pretty big group plus 4 #therapydogs. #childrenslibrarian #autumn

I signed up for the video version of the #wildwonder nature journaling conference. This was my first session. I feel like I should retry the top one because I don't think I achieved the goal. But the presenter was a pleasure and I enjoyed it. #sketch #naturesketch #drawing #naturejournaling

I had a table for the #library at the Uptown ArtWalk Saturday. I was also doing a test run of an activity using our die-cut machine I want to do at a larger outreach event later in the month. I liked how the bat puppets turned out!

Tried another #drawalong #storytime after school yesterday. We read a few books including *I Cannot Draw a Horse* by Cherise Mericle Harper. Then I challenged them to start with a shape and make it into something. We all drew a robot together! #childrenslibrarian #kidsart #library #kidlit #booksky

For Banned Books Week, we read *A Big Mooncake for Little Star* by Grace Lin for #storytime. I put out stars, moons, stickers, chalk and big paper. One mom said it was a good activity, "because who hasn't been looking at the moon lately?" #library #childrenslibrarian #kidlit #childrensbooks #booksky

I'm finishing up my 5 year journal this year and starting a 3 year journal next year. I liked the smaller size. I like to write quotes along the edges of the pages.
Would anyone like to contribute a quote, saying, mantra, inspirational word?
