By day, I'm a substitute teacher.  By night and weekend, I'm an artist.  But now that I think about it, I'm ALWAYS an artist...I just hang my artist's beret at various places throughout the day!

Today, I was subbing for one of the kindergarten teachers at our school.  During "circle time", we went over the calendar, weather, how many days left in the school year, etc.  Then we got to "what season is it?"  Well, the little guys immediately went right into spring...forget winter, they want SPRING!!!

I'm not sure if we'll get any more snow here in Meridian, Idaho (neighbor to Boise), because we certainly could, but I've gotta tell you - these kinders today are ready for SPRING!  "What do you do in Spring, that you don't do in winter?" I asked them. You should have hear them!  Excitement in their voices, they offered, "plant stuff!", "play basketball with  my dad", "ride my bike", "play in the rain!".  One after the other, they gave me their ideas for fun in the spring.

That got me to thinking...hmm....what am I going to do this spring?

Some creative friends and I just met this past weekend, to discuss the first part of The Artist's Way.  That's one thing I'm doing this spring...meeting with these fine ladies monthly to discuss one of my favorite books. Also, between now and the next snow (or summer, whichever comes first...you never know, here in Idaho!) I can take advantage of the little park down the street, and take some walks.  Also, I have a hankerin' to be making more mixed media pieces, so I'll get out my supplies and see what I can come up with for my Etsy site.  Oh!  And I'll create some more designs for my RedBubble site!  I already have several that I need my photographer (Kathleen Bowman of Shekinah Photography) to photograph for RedBubble.

Wow, looks like I have my own Spring Fun List!  How about you?  What are you going to do this spring?
