Another Career Day this one at the Middle School

Hello well today was another career day for this artist. I was thrilled that I was invited again this year. I greatly enjoy talking with the young people and listening to their ideas and goals. The teachers also will tell me about their creative sides and finding the time to create. Which all us makers know exactly about that!! We all must find time to create and express ourselves. I took a lot of the art work and of course the soaps. The children I talked with asked me many questions. It was just a great day!! It was kinda funny for me I had the time mixed up (which is typical of me) I showed up at 8:30 to set up by 9 and it didn't start till 12. So I went back home and continued on some of my regular daily duties. 

When we got to the school this sign was on the gym doors, which of course I loved seeing the art work!

This sign was on the front doors of the school house. Just wonderful! The signs show us how much you appreciate us coming and just plain say "Welcome" well done! Thank you!

There were lots of businesses at career day. The turn out was amazing! I was impressed.

The box the goodies from Chick-Fil-A came in, Thank You so much Chick-Fil-A

From all of us!!! 

 

 

One of the young ladies asking me questions about how I work and what is the hardest part of my job. 

Here the students are walking around to each table talking about the careers and deciding which career they are interested in and asking questions from each of the volunteers. 

Each time that I have been to career days the Sheriffs Dept. is always popular!! The students enjoy all the ways to find fingerprints. It is all very interesting, I am even amazed at all the ways the law enforcers have to find evidence. 

They gave these out at the end of the day the leaders of Career Day said they got the idea off of Pinterest. It was a wonderful idea and very thoughtful of them. 

It was full of yummy pepermints. Which these are one of my favorite! 

Thanks again leaders for thinking of us! 

It was truely a great day! 

 

I hope you enjoyed another career day, you can find the elementary career day HERE

I have also been invited to other career days but didn't attend one was for my surgery last year on April 1. When I am asked again I will be sure not to miss one! I have a great time and the children seem to really enjoy it!

 

I am hoping to make another post tomorrow for Easter, but if I don't Happy Easter.

 

Funny Dusty!!!

Beautiful Samantha and Daisy the baby goat.

 

HAPPY EASTER!!!

 

I was so sad today I was unable to go to the Farmers Market to sell my soaps and baked goods, because Cooper was a having a little sickness from all the pollen, well more like allergies. So Bruce and Colten went in my place.

I can't wait to get back to the market, I really enjoy talking with everyone. Have a beautiful weekend! Stay Artful and create everyday! 

Cyber Hugs, Dawn Gallop

Career Day for the Creative Girl

An array of my creative side to show the children at career day that they can sale their art work and work as an artist from their own homes.  My table was set up to show the items I sell on Etsy and arts and craft shows, and local farmers markets. 

I took the articles to show the children all the art pieces I have been published in. As my work has been published in Somerset Memories, Somerset Studios, and Cloth Paper Scissors along with other digital magazines. 

The table was full of ideas that the children could use for their own creative adventures. This year I was quite popular as in the past years only a few came to the table. Which made me happy! I also think with this past year working as a club leader for art has helped. Before I would come periodically while this year it has been once a month. 

Here the children are looking at the troopers table. See Cooper in the stripped shirt. 

As in the past I have been beside the Chick-fil-a table which is very popular among the children as well as the adults. We all LOVE Chick-fil-a!!! I even got a coupon for the new frosted lemonade which I can't wait to try! Sounds yummy! 

The cow even held up one of my cuffs. 

The girls even enjoyed trying on the handmade jewelry. Telling me stories about their moms, grandmas who make jewelry. I so enjoy hearing what they have to say. 

The pic was of poor quality but I was quick for I was rushed to get my car loaded, all the boys ready and myself to be at school by a little after 8. I was so thankful my friend Megan helped me unload the car which is big deal! I had a lot! More is more! Lol! 

I also had to deliver eggs that morning. My hens lay some big beautiful eggs. 

The day before. My girls are so happy!! My oldest son even said I want my chickens to run to me when I come out like yours do. I just love them and I have raised all of them since little bitties and they just know I love them, well it could be because I spoil them too! Shhhhh! 

Just some of the pics during the snow. I love the chicken bell that Alexis brought me at Christmas time. Its vintage too! 

Samantha and I have been tilling up the gardens for spring already on the nice days when it's not to wet. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! Cyber hugs,
