Well, August came and went like a flash didn’t it?!?! With gearing up for and then going back to work, most of August was spent in my classroom or running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to get things done because school was starting. Despite the speed at which this month went by, I did manage to complete my calendar for this month’s Calendar Challenge over at The Kathryn Wheel.
I kept it simple. The doodles took some time but were done before I went back to work. Nothing fancy! 
A couple of collage pages were also made while still on vacation. 
Since I make the cards for our social club at school, I spent last weekend making gobs and gobs of cards. Some for use at work, some for me to use. 
I was thinking about you last night. No, not in bed! What is wrong with you?
ReplyDeleteI was at the Open House for Jacob and Joshua and I went to their classrooms and they were decorated in a similar style as yours. And as I was sitting there listening to their teachers talk, I just kept thinking about you. I'm glad neither one called on me because I wasn't paying attention. You should be very happy that you never had to teach me.

Hee hee hee! What is wrong with you!?!?! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope the night went well and you like their teachers.
Oh my goodness, you certainly do a lot of chores!
ReplyDeleteI thought you teachers never worked and had your days free and weekends spent poolside at the country club???
Your art is amazing! I have my second Sketchbook project to do...in between teaching and my masters it might not get done!!
ReplyDelete@Hula - I know! I read that calendar over again...how boring am I?!?! After a very long day yesterday I came home to things to do around the house and this thought popped into my head, "I take care of people ALL DAY LONG, is it too much to ask for someone to take care of me once in awhile?!?" And, of course, it was said in a whiny voice. :)
ReplyDelete@M - Thank you! Oh you're doing your masters?!?! That is A LOT of work. I hope you get time to finish it again this year!
ReplyDeleteI think your calendar looks great, absolutely love the doodles! Your collage pages are great too. I like your style!
ReplyDeleteThis is one awesome calendar. Those doodles are insane! I can't doodle or zentangle, but I sure like the look. And you are one super busy person. I got tired just reading what you wrote (grin).
ReplyDeleteLovely calendar pages and love your collages too. I know how hectic the weeks for school begin are, I taught for 35 years and am now, thank God, retired! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those collages! What media did you use?
ReplyDelete@Elizabeth and Eileen - Thanks for coming by today!
ReplyDelete@Craft Attack - I know, it's a busy career isn't it. Congrats on retirement...I've still got a ways to go. :)
@Duck - Thank you! I used scraps of paper, acrylic gesso, acrylic paint, spray paint, and cheap cheap pastels from school.
Great August pages Kimberley, and being a teacher too, I totally know what you mean, love your doodling and your cards and collages are great to. You asked re using napkins. If you email me I'm happy to tell you what I do.
ReplyDeleteHave a great start to the year!

ReplyDeleteI am jealous of those who can crank out cards. Lovely.
