"Celebrate"























My husband just had a birthday. A milestone birthday. He turned forty. I decided to go and buy him this really fancy cake. It was beautiful. I wasn't around when he blew out his candle or ate his slice but when I returned from taking my child to a hockey tournament the whole cake pretty much was still there. My husbands favorite cake is basic. Yellow cake with chocolate frosting NOT the decadent cake I had purchased. So, while he was at work, I made him yellow cake cupcakes with chocolate icing. He was happy.  

This is a poor photo of the illustration. I made this with students to illustrate how to depict an Illustration Friday theme. I've posted a board up in my school titled Illustration Friday.  On Friday, I post the theme and students, on their own time, depict the word in a picture.  The kids get a kick out of seeing all the different interpretations.

Time



 Ok, It's Thursday, at 7:05 PM.   I'm running out of time to post my illustration Friday.  The them, Time.  Time..what does it mean?  So many ways to interpret time.  Time for an appointment, running late...running out of time..not enough time.  Time and I are not friends.   I'm greedy and never seem to have enough.  How do you interpret something so elusive?  This is how I feel about time.
