hello, remember me?   november 2010....wow...

so wearing rubber gloves while doing dishes almost feels like you are NOT doing dishes!  really, try it...

i started teaching preschool art january 2012 and love it!!!  3-5 year olds are fantastic to work with...mainly boys it seems, tapping into the right side of their brain....i am relishing that age since my red hat boys are growing up too fast.

also teaching paint parties....no tupperware or amway pyramids involved...just me, you and 8-100 of your favorite friends painting while sipping a beverage and sampling some apps....fun, fun...try it after you try the rubber gloves.

ok, i hate to overdo it.
thanks for stopping by....
