Artist~Teacher... tishalou

THANKS MR. E!

Well I FINALLY got around to hanging the beautiful bulletin board pieces that Mr. E made me! I won the contest he posted.
I got a sneak preview when he posted what he had made - I was so giddy!
Then I was even giddier and the ladies in the office were also when I received this awesome package in the mail:

I put the items in to get laminated ~ then they sat on my shelf for too long. You know how it is new lessons write, paper to cut, paint to put into containers, brushes to wash. My son has been taking Tae Kwon Do which is early on three days a week so we leave quickly after school - which has actually been nice! My husband picked him up on Wednesday so I stayed to hang my board! Here it is:

I am hesitant to laminate it all together - with it being in pieces I will be able to pick and choose which parts I need and could even use it for other things down the road.
I LOVE IT!
