I make lists all the time. While I was making this one, my best friend called me up, and in the course of the conversation she said lists made her feel bad because she can never complete all her tasks. For me, even if I don’t finish everything, at least I have everything on my mind in one place. List-writing is an important part of my daily experience and I have various notebooks and journals scattered around the house for different types of lists. And I’m happy to say I have several handmade journals purchased on Etsy.

Do you make lists? Are they graphic organizers or plainly written like mine? I love seeing how others organize and plan and how they work through the planning stages of the creative process. Send me pics- I’d love to see your lists.

That was my question to one of the teachers on the sixth grade team I subbed on today. I was (sort of) joking, but she looked at me like I was crazy. Wasn’t the full moon a week ago? What’s in the water over here? I had what I call a “Jekyll and Hyde” day – two classes of angels and two classes of… I’ll let you finish that. And I wore heels. Never wear heels.

The ride home was a test of will- will I fall asleep at the next red light? Let’s just say I didn’t make it to the LYS and I certainly don’t think I’ll be conscious past nine o’clock.

I decided to post about subbing to see if anyone else substitute teaches or has in the past. Let’s swap stories. Or tales of woe. Whatever you call them.

Also, I still want to see pictures of your craft/creating rooms. I need more ideas for table-top organization. I feel like I have a lot of little stuff out and it drives me bonkers.

And just so I don’t leave you empty handed and hankering for a photo, here are some recently spun singles- finished just before Valetine’s Day. I wish it wasn’t inappropriate for me to take a spinning wheel to school.
