memorizing poetry

I follow the wonderful blog CUP OF JO and we were challenged to memorize a poem.  Oh, how I love this idea!  When I was a girl, I memorized Shel Silverstein's "Clarence" and can still recite all of the words by heart.

This week, I've decided to memorize "The Trouble with Poetry" by Billy Collins.


Do you have a favorite poem?

board book kit

After reading The Happiness Project, I was inspired to follow a passion.  At the moment, two of my passions are the racecar and books.  So, I put these ideas together and decided to make a book for the racecar.  I purchased a board book kit at Target and started to collect my ideas.

A blank page has so much potential.

Stayed tuned for more...

ps. Do you have a passion that you'd like to follow?
