fabulous giraffes and a new look!

These have been hanging in my classroom for a couple of months in honor of our recent visit from author Debbie Clement....the borders are cut pieces of painted paper which I just LOVED!
You may also see that my blog has just undergone a makeover! It was about time...the Blogger template just didn't fit the theme or overall direction of the blog. If you are looking for a blog makeover, I highly suggest Casey at Sugar Studios! Casey "saw" my vision and carried it through...which suits me, my classroom, and my lessons MUCH better!
How much longer do you have kids? I am in a panic now and will see my students only twice more this year. I have a graveyard of clay projects (projects with no names, pieces and parts that fell or broke off...grrrrr....) that I'm sifting through and trying to repair things so I can get projects out before the very last day of school.

My kiln is on overload (and so am I! I think my back is going to break!!!) so I think I'm going to give her a night off. Rest up, Skutty...game on again tomorrow!

ALSO, don't forget to link up to my clay linky party-- I'm in need of some new clay projects!
