These are two "trailers" for a film that has been circulating in the US for maybe a year, now. There is a website where you can order the DVD, and there is a list of screenings in different parts of the country, also. I haven't seen the DVD, but am VERY interested, and wanted to pass it on to my CCS family. Take a look...

I have a heartfelt request of my wonderful CCS family.
Last Friday night, I was honored to help a friend with her daughter's birthday party. She asked me to lead the bubbling attendees in an art activity, so we made simple journals using ribbon, cardstock, and all manner of stickers, paint, glitter, and pens to decorate the journals.
Now, spending a Friday night with twelve little ten-year old girls after working all week on aching feet may not be on your bucket list, but for this tired old teac… Continue

Tuesday, I checked my mail box and, once again, was disgusted with the stack of sales flyers that I wasn't interested in. (My material girl hasn't shown up in quite a while, and when she does, I don't shop from sales flyers.) So, I decided I'd had enough!
I sat down with the junk mail stack on my lap in front of my computer, and while I was checking e-mail, surfing blogs, and reading wonderful posts from my CCS family, the following happened...

Come On, CCS! Let's get this party started! Dance first, ask questions later!
Dan,
Thank you for establishing "Coach Creative Space" and bringing all of us together. We celebrate you as a Creativity Coach, but more than that, we thank you for being our friend.
If you're happy and you know it, make some art.

If you're happy and you know it, CCS will surely show it.

Spring Break from teaching brought a blessed relief from stress and fatigue, so I took the opportunity to play a bit and not worry about serious production.
I recently was rejected from a juried show, but wasn't hurt by it. I attended the opening and saw what was in t… Continue

My daughter-in-law works for a charitable organization, Parenting Partners, and was in charge of organizing their annual dinner/silent auction. She asked me if I would donate something, so I let her choose a couple of paintings.
I warned her that I didn't expect them to sell, since the auction patrons were an hour away from my small town, and don't know my name, and I'm just beginning to put my work out there again after a long hiatus of not producing
I've been recovering from the final weeks of the school semester, but had to stop by to send you Season's Greetings, Glad Tidings, and prayers for a Blessed Christmas. You are all special to me, and I sincerely appreciate this caring, creative community.
Amidst the busyness of the season, light a candle, turn on a fave carol, grab a cup of something hot and stop by my page for a favorite Christmas Story of mine....
