Getting ready for the conference, and I am filled with excitement, anxiety and caffeine. Trying to get my portfolio and 10 images that represent me, that make me stand out among hundreds of people that already stand out. My cards from Moo are cute, but tiny, too tiny...
Now here is some real conference advice from IngridThursday, August 04, 2011

New Mural Umbrella Idea
Splashy rain can be fun, choose your umbrella and boots. Gidget inspired me to add the faces, like she did on her drawing. What do you think, better with more space around them so that you can actually figure out that they are umbrellas, or with tiny rainboots sticking out underneath? Please comment!

Science Lab Murals
Well...there could definitely be worse jobs! I am starting on the science lab murals at Carpenter Community Charter thanks to our fantastic science teacher Mrs. Lori Belateche. First up, the marine sciences. Then on to the physical sciences and life science. The last week of school was spent cleaning up and me being up on the ladder and observing (that's a scientific word) all the kids K-5 coming in to hug the science teacher, see what's up with the chics, guinea pig, turtles, bugs, magnets, snails, and all the cool stuff in there. Lori read me a letter from a graduating 5th grader that told her how much she helped him learn and pay attention, where as in other classes he couldn't concentrate. He's going to the science academy next year. Public school is tough in California. But our awesome families have made this one work by funding this program, that otherwise would not be here. PLUS added benefits is that Me and Sunny and Gidget get to play with the chics all afternoon.
