A few weeks ago, I was walking through the hallway with the principal at one of my schools when she happened to mention how ugly she thought a few of the bulletin boards looked. Mistake one. She then mentioned that she was not artistic at all. Mistake two. It was then the beast was unleashed, and by "beast," I mean a thirty-something, five foot four woman who sweats like a guy, and once believed she was going to be an artist. While my art dreams died more than half a lifetime ago, I still get all dizzy with joy when I can unleash some creativity on a bulletin board, so naturally, I volunteered to decorate a bulletin board. They gave me three. I finally finished the three bulletin boards today which highlight the first three of the 7 Habits. It was a large undertaking which included taking a staple to the eye, sweating so much my flat-ironed hair became curly again, stumbling back on my own shoe (they were off), and tearing my skirt up the side. Yeah, I really get in to this stuff...
I know what you're thinking. "There's a lot of dead space on that last one, and the top part isn't centered!" It makes me slightly crazy, too, but being afraid I was going to sweat through my skirt, I stopped where I was. Maybe I'll fix it...someday... :)
