Carolyn Braden's Revolutionary Idea

I just finished changing the look of all my blogs. I love a change of scenery sometimes and they just needed some sprucing up. Most people make all their changes in their lives when the new year is arriving. Maybe my new year is arriving at this moment. It is never too late to make a change in your life. Try a fun new recipe like Baked Alaska. Try swimming for exercise instead of lifting weights. Hang out with people that make you laugh instead of cry. As we all know, tomorrow is just another day but maybe it should be your revolutionary day.

Busy as a little bee!

Pammie is really, really a busy girl right now! But...she is getting more story ideas! Pammie just got her snow! It turned out to be a really bad snow and ice storm that hurt a lot of trees and people. Louisville, KY looks a little like a war zone right now. Oh...but when the sun came out and hit the icy trees, they looked like silver tinsel trees. They sparkled and it seemed as if they were all made out of Swarovski crystals. Beautiful.

Pammie is now officially alive. I painted her on a rainbarrel that will be given to Edge Outreach for their I Thirst for Art auction in March. She looks so pretty!

I am still working on a official home for her. Patience right?

Rainbarrels and Pammie Peacock

Today, I just submitted my design idea for Edge Outreaches Rainbarrel Event. The event is on March 6th, 2009.

If my design idea is chosen, I would not only like to paint a rainbarrel for the event, but I would like to attend the Rainbarrel Auction in March. My husband and I were discussing purchasing a rainbarrel over the summer, and this is that inspiration that we must have been waiting for. We'd love to attend the event and bid on our rainbarrel and maybe on some other barrels. We love that this whole idea is not only about helping out the environment, but also about promoting art in schools!


My rainbarrel is about Pammie Peacock. Pammie Peacock is a character I created this year to teach my students the rules of the school. I currently teach art to elementary children. They absolutely love Pammie! Pammie has given me many, many ideas. Pammie is the lead character in a children's book I am working on. Pammie has many, many friends. Each character from the book is based on the people in my life, present and past. Her adventures are based on stories from my life. I believe her adventures will be a series of books. I am currently working on having someone hear my ideas and think they are as great as I know they are.

Well see what happens.

Till next time....
