As a mother of three children in the Lovejoy ISD, a member of the PTA and PTSA and a fiber artist. I am so wicked excited about this years reflection program.
The theme is-"Beauty Is..."
Last year Drew's and Maddie's pieces were chosen to be on exhibit at the Wylie high school. We always encourage the kids to participate in the PTA's reflections program. Our kids are mostly involved in visual arts, but the reflections program also has categories for Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Musical Composition, and Photography.
You can read about Texas PTA's reflection programs on their website http://www.txpta.org/programs/reflections . It is a really wonderful program to encourage kids to participate in the arts.
Hart Elementary and Lovejoy High School Deadline is November 2, 2009. Will be sure to post photos of what the kids make this year if they bring them home first.

Lovejoy ISD- PTA and PTSA Reflections Program 2009
Crazy Mushrooms
I am really into shape lately- wanted to share some mushroom photos I took from the "back 40". That's what my dad calls the very back of our yard.
They will be a series of monochromatic pieces soon. My focus is on creating art from photos that we take.
View from my studio
Drew and I hung up this basket of flowers out side and put a tiny little humming bird feeder inside. You see them perched on there all they time. The hummers go between the feeder and the flowers to eat. Below you can see the "discount" wild flowers we planted too. They are a bit crazy but very pretty.
Mary and Maddie picked out this bird bath for the front. It has a little brown bunny on the front that is sitting in flowers. Fitting since there is a tiny gray bunny that lives in the bush right behind.
View from my office chair. I can watch the birds- you'll know when I am slow to answer emails and get design work done. Its a perfect place to day dream...Best of all I can watch the girls school from the window.
Amazing Flowers Lucas Texas after the rain
When the girls got home from school today we ventured out into the nice cool weather to see how our flower beds were doing. For some reason today- not sure if its all the rain or the cool weather but the flowers all seemed to be extra colorful and bright.
The humming birds are loving it. A perfect time for them all to bloom so the hummers can fatten up for their long journey.
The orange and white flowers were planted last month from wildflower seeds we picked up at Walgreens in Allen for 10 cents a package during their remodeling sale.
Praying Mantis New Home in my Studio
We organic garden so praying mantis are welcome- well until I read about how they can attack hummingbirds. So now it has a new home in my studio until the Hummers fly south in a few weeks.
Reading up on the praying mantis was interesting a good resource was on about.com. I have it in a nice large container that fits inside of a mesh lingerie bag. It will be very well cared for and loved until it can go back outside in a few weeks.
My poor husband is so patient. We are constantly "adopting" animals and bugs. From the huge toad that lives in the self-watering pots on the patio, bunny in the front bushes, bucket of caterpillars on the patio, "Mannie" the praying mantis and all the hummingbirds- its like a zoo...
