My Life: Display Case and a little about ME

     Our art teacher is in charge of the display case in the hallway - usually it contains children's art (it will soon house the kiddos "empty bowls") but recently, all their art work has been hang-able (word??) so she had teacher's from each grade level fill it with things that told a little about themselves. This month it was me and my partner teacher's turn. She has the bottom two shelves, I have the top.

I thought I would use this as a catapult to share a little about myself on here ...make my blog a bit more personal *grin*

• Abraham Lincoln Bust = I am a complete history dork, particularly American history (Civil War) and European Renaissance and Reformation (Henry VIII Tudor dynasty). The dream is to get my maters in it some day *crossing fingeres* 
• Leotard and handstand picture = I am/ want to still be/ was a gymnast. Throughout high school and college I traveled with a team - see my post Cheerleading/Gymnastics to see what we did. I still try and get a handstand or hand to hand in with the hubby any place I can :)
• Owl bag = I love all things owls! Not really the real ones though ... *go figure!* 
• Painting with flowers = I love to paint with arylics - I never have time any more it seems and that makes me sad ...
• Banana Grams = ADORE this game! That and ANY kind of trivia game!
• Big cream flower = I absolutely love BIG flowers in my hair - they make any outfit snazzy!

• Yellow Heel = Heels are my FAV - but sadly I cannot make it in them through a whole school day so they remain hidden in my closet the majority of the time :(
• Scarlet Pimpernel = FAVORITE MOVIE, seriously, if you have never seen this movie - DO IT! (make sure you watch the one with Jane Seymour in it!)
• Tennis Racket = I enjoy playing all sports (except basketball) my racket was the easiest to display ...
• In the pink frame = Dudley - my kitty, our surprise gift from God this winter ... he is slowly melting my heart :)
