From Facebook, to Instagram, to Twitter, things are quicker, shorter, and less informative than what you find on blogs. But for people with short attentions spans, those alternatives seem to have grabbed their attention. I am on Instagram, but honestly, fail to see any real purpose. So I'm really glad to know there are people like you who are still taking the time to read 'old fashioned' blog posts!Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-21565744433770087502015-04-25T17:21:49.443-04:002015-04-25T17:21:49.443-04:00I believe I answered you via email, didn't I? ...I believe I answered you via email, didn't I?

Tell them to pull their head in as I think your posts are fabulously entertaining and always inspiring! Your descriptions show us how excited you were to be there and how much fun you were having and I'm so glad you are making your documents available for those of us not lucky enough to attend such an amazing conference experience. That is very kind of you and much appreciated by me and others i'm sure.Shelley Menhennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946987275541283965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-33563192826447933692015-04-18T17:34:13.518-04:002015-04-18T17:34:13.518-04:00Hi Phil, I'm so glad you enjoyed New Orleans. ...Hi Phil, I'm so glad you enjoyed New Orleans. My husband was from NOLA and we reared our four children in his hometown. Much to my dismay, I was unable to attend the convention.<br />I am inspired by your ceramic and weaving lesson. My students just recently completed a mud clay multicultural maskmaking lesson and are anxiously awaiting the final fired pottery with the glaze on it. We have created weavings in the past and I am hopeful to combine the two art processes during next school year. I would appreciate if you could send me information on the process of making the clay looms. For instance, how did you decide on the size and placement of the holes, the shapes of the forms, and any other info that would be helpful. I think this would be a great keepsake project for my students. Thanks in advance Phyl.

( I actually ran into the beginning of Ian Sands presentation just to meet him- then ran out to another session!) This retired person also went to many great sessions (no luncheon), and loved conversations with young and preservice teachers. My complaint was lack of time! There were some time slots when nothing interested me- and others where i would have loved to clone myself at least 3 copies! yeah my fitbit was racking up the miles and I didn't get a hurricane or a cherry bomb (but did have Arbita-a local beer, New Orleans Mojito and a 57 Chevy.

Your descriptions made me feel the materials and smell the beignets. I, too, would love to have lesson plans for the two projects you highlighted. I am so glad you had such a good time. I am requesting funds for Chicago as soon as school starts in September. I wonder who the Keynote speaker will be at that convention? No one could top Tim Gunn!Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07481951771573117224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-3632931171082132802015-04-05T15:31:14.630-04:002015-04-05T15:31:14.630-04:00Hi Phyl!
