Something New

Here is a link to a new blog I am starting on behalf of my art students, At The Drawing Pad . I teach drawing 101 to about 60 plus students at a local homeschooling organization called Echo. They meet once a week to give their children some extra curricula activities. I finished my last class of the year last Friday just as I was taking off for Seattle. It has been quite a whirlwind of a week. Keeping busy was a good thing. It kept me from focusing to much on Jenna Dear leaving home. Here is a peek at her room we set up on Saturday.

I was pretty disappointed in my shopping day. Things didn't work out as planned. Surprise, surprise the sun wasn't out on Monday, and the shops were closed in downtown Kirkland in the morning. So no fun goodies to show and tell. Here are a few shots in the rain of the water front and a cute sweet shop....love the aprons, and the shop where I found my candle.
It was so much more charming with the sunshine. Jenna texted yesterday and said we forgot to buy her an umbrella. lol
