Alright, here's the deal: I have been gone for quite a while. My creativity has ebbed. Now, don't get me wrong, I've had some great ideas, but they keep happening in inconvenient places like when I am driving my car or in the shower, and both places are rather problematic places to take notes.
I've really got to get back on track. Months ago, I was all excited because I was getting close to the "hundred Posts" mark. I think it was way back in June. I thought I would write a post every day and have that significant number under my belt by my one year blogging anniversary....
It is January and I am on post number ninety.
So this is what I've decided to do: I am going to post something every hour that I am awake (and not in staff meetings), until I hit my hundred goal. Whatever semi creative idea that is in my head for that hour will be on this blog for posterity. (Oh dear!) It may get a bit crazy over the next few days. Wish me luck!
I'm not sure if many people even check this site anymore due to my recent inactivity, but if you happen to peek in on me over the next few days, let me know which ones you like!
have a great day!

A Creative School Bus Conversation
Something really cool happened yesterday.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays I drive a bus for our church's afterschool program. I pick up six children from one school and two more from another. As always the children were a little bit noisy on the ride back to church. I overheard one of them say "I know Ms. Bell really well". I heard a little boy comment that the phrase rhymed. I chimed in by saying that it sounded like the title to a book. All of a sudden, the children were asking if we could write a book together! I told them that we could brainstorm about it together tomorrow (as in today) if they really wanted to.
They didn't forget. They ran into the church today asking if I had time to help them write the book.
So we began. We brainstormed for about half an hour and then began to write. We have a wonderful story started. I'm quite proud of them actually. They are so creative.
Tuesday, we illustrate.
The best part of the whole thing was how excited they were to create. I loved fanning that flame.
I'll have to ask them if I can share it with you when it's done.
