So, what does one do when her art room isn't ready and her lessons aren't planned (um, I have a vague notion of what will go down that first day. It starts with something like, the kids will come to art...and that's pretty much all I got)? MAKE A BACK TO ART TEACHERIN' DRESS, OF COURSE. Yes, I'm shouting. Because, like, duuuuh.
I decided a dress was in order because 1. I always make a Back to Art Teacherin' Dress (see exhibit A and B), it's tradition and 2. Cuz I was kinda feeling like this about the whole notion of heading back...
Staying up entirely too late and sleeping in til high noon, I will miss yooooooou!
But now that I've got a snappy outfit to wear on that very first day (which starts tomorrow with four daze, er, days of professional developementishness. But I don't really count that. The true blue first day is when the wee ones show up which is this Friday, eek!) I'm feeling much better about Back to Art Teacherin' land. In fact, I'm now feelin' a lil more like this...
I...Can....Do...It!
By the way, I recently downloaded the giphy app and have henceforth been solely communicating with friends via gifs. It's like a super fun game for me tho I'm not quite sure they feel the same.
WHUT, CHUCK NORRIS?!
But whateves, y'all. Forget about my gif obsession and let's talk CONTEST, shall we?
HEEEEY, say what?! I just spent entirely too long making this fugly -n- difficult to read image. So lemme reiterate what that thar thingie says in all sorts of bulletpoints, words and sentences.

ReplyDeleteHi Vicki!! I have a Brother that I've been using for years. My husband got me a top o' the line model for $400...which is almost EXACTLY like the $150 Brother version they sell at Walmart (minus a couple bells and whistles). If I had to do it all again, I'd just purchase the $150 one, it works great and I have several of that model I use in my classroom. Hope that helps!
DeleteI am coming out of lurkdom to say that I just snorted my wine at "professional developmentishness." Ha! I go back next Tuesday, so I still have a few more days of staying up too late and sleeping in. Love the marker squiggle fabric!
ReplyDeletedesign gown, beautiful to look at a man ..
ReplyDeleteAwww, I knew you'd love SMART! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous!! You are yet again inspiring me! I'm soooo overwhelmed and over-stressed about the whole supply-orderin'-how-much-&-what-do-I-need thang that I haven't even stopped to think about what to wear! Gotta get that sewing machine humming!
ReplyDeleteI love, LOVE your blogs Cassie!! THanks so much for the inspiration and ideas…and always a few laughs as well. Gotta stay humorous as the school year creeps closer and closer. Hey, so I cleaned out my closet yesterday and saved a skirt for the sole purpose of ART-ifying it up! Inspired by you, of course. The ideas are percolating… no for sure ideas just yet. Maybe as I work on the TO-DO list these last two weeks, it will come to me! Thanks again for the great blogs!!
