I’m packing.
I’m double-checking, triple-checking and reviewing just one more time to make sure I have the class kits, the paint, the tape, the glue, the alcohol ink, the paper, the baby wipes, the Lazertran, the stamps, the jewelry tools, the Pan Pastels, the inkpads…
And very important—the class notes! (Almost as important as the class kits, but I’d rather ad-lib techniques I know, than explain how I left the kits 3,000 miles away and maybe we can just chat for the class session instead? Because I know that would never work.)
I’m getting ready for Art & Soul Virginia this week and as usual, am overdoing it a bit much on the preparation side of things…but I know myself, and know that I won’t feel comfortable getting on that plane without being absolutely sure that I am as prepared as I can be.
I’m taking off for Hampton, Virginia (via Detroit!?!) on Saturday morning—the first long-haul flight I’ve had in a long time where I can actually read a book and sleep instead of fretting over a wiggly baby. I never thought I’d consider economy class a luxury, but after traveling with a child, I’ve changed my tune! I even have a big fat novel and a chocolate bar to keep me company.
If you’re attending Art & Soul Virginia, hope to see you there!
(Now, where am I going to pack my clothes?!?)
Have fun little sis! Your students are lucky, I know how much preparation went into your classes. Those lunch containers look so cute. Have a marvelous time!
