Knitting while trying to sell sodas for PTA

Glorious Guess 236/365

That's her name, Glorious Guess. That's what I want to call myself after Faith Nation. (This picture was taken with the craptastic OLD camera bleh!)

PTA Self Promotion Plan Worked! too bad no pic :( 216/365

I helped with the Staff Appreciation brunch at the high school today. In my haste to get things done I forgot to get a picture of myself. For shame, for shame! I donated the Autumn Crazy quilt sample for a door prize. The other officers of PTA decided it would be the GRAND prize and it got a lot of ooohs and ahs when it was shown. One of Dakota's teachers, Mrs. B won! Then another teacher talked to me about making her a quilt from some batiks from Bali she got on Ebay. Heck yeah! I sorta joined PTA in hopes of showing my work. So my evil plan has finally started coming to fruition. (Dear teacher who wants the Bali quilt...CALL ME!!! I'll make you a good deal and an awesome piece of art to go with the painting you bought. I have my earth tone fabrics waiting)

Here's the certificate I got for stepping up to be secretary...

Here's the quilt I sacrificed in the name of self promoting. It was fun having new people see my art.

Faux Snow and Real Snow 205/365

I saw this awesome science program at PTA Conference. The lady had a faux snow that reconstituted in your hands when she added water. It was way cool. Not cool was the snow I woke to yet again today. Sick and tired of it I say!

Surviving PTA Conference 204/365

I was gone this weekend. Did you miss me? Probably not since I used the auto-post thingy. Anyways........ You may or may not know that in January I volunteered to be Secretary of Wasson HS PTA. This past weekend the Treasurer and I went to Colorado PTA State Convention up in Denver. Anybody watch the weather Friday? OMG! Can you say SPRING BLIZZARD!?!

 

We actually hit a chunk of ice and spun off the road a little past Monument hill before Castle Rock. Hold on Newt she's headed for the barn!!!! But since the air bags didn't deploy and we didn't actually hit the concrete barrier or metal guard rail and we had front wheel drive we just took a deep breathe and drove out of the ditch and on to Denver. (I didn't even pee my pants...two points for me!)

Second picture is the view from my room. Too cool!

My room....wish Sharie coulda been there with me :(

More later.....
