My first 8 soul cards. The plan is to have a sample deck of 12 for the class I will be teaching in early September.

The bottom shot is of my latest work. I have been trying to carve out some time, here and there, to create a sample set of soul cards. These are my #5-8 cards. There are only 2 more days left of summer school. I have really enjoyed my 6 weeks. Being principal has been very rewarding and has given me an opportunity to connect with students in a way that hasn't happened since I left the classroom. My husband and I are headed this weekend, for Northern California, for a much-needed and deserved vacation. We will be up there for a week. I plan to take a small supply of paints, markers, and collage items to complete my last 4 cards. I always carry my camera with me - it is a BIG part of what walks out the door with me every day. I plan on taking lots of photos since we are going to be hitting Monterey, San Francisco, Napa, and Sonoma during our trip.
