Dream. Love. Faith. Create. Read!!

I am obsessed with words once again
Especially the printed type ;-)

The homeschooling seems to have settled into a full speed ahead
gentle rhythm that is finally allowing us all
  ESPECIALLY MOI
to get our hands into the paint and feet into the mud
(read: calligraphy and running through the fields,
not necessarily at the same time)
And thankfully, no time for house work

So in between reading all of Chickpea's school books
and filling bottomless stomachs,
I've been amusing myself, 

and the messmonsters,

by making these

from an idea I saw here.

Libellule, Chickpea and Pokemon made lots of delicate washi paper ones  

but mysteriously, the lollipops we placed inside the paper hearts
(see the link above)
well
they
uuummmmm

disappeared!
In the blink of an eye and right under my nose!!
JUST LIKE THAT
When I wasn't looking...

In fact, I wonder if I ever actually bought a whole packet of lollipops at all!

Am I losing my mind?
Or dreaming?
In any case, remind me to whip out the camera more quickly
whenever lollies and children are in the house at the same time.

Bless their little hearts.

Now, where was I? 

Lost in the pages of a book was I not?

 

Now that I'm teaching children I I know that the importance of using 

BIG WORDS.
can never be underestimated.
I strive every day to get the right message across.

I wonder if this ultra fabulous work by Isaac Salazar

(click on his name to see his other pieces)

will inspire us to use our words more creatively.

On second thoughts, 

given Azzy's next French book review topic...

Mmmmmm

maybe I'd better not show this to them after all...

:)
