Happy PINK Saturday Everyone! If I lived in a very PINK world, I would wake up in this sweet PINK house! source: http://kawaiishiorkor.tumblr.com/post/10033107311 Then I would go down to my very PINK kitchen to make a cozy warm cup of tea. (source:http://hookedonhouses.net/2011/09/16/kirstie-alleys-oceanfront-cottage-for-sale-on-maine-island/#more-32403 ) Then I would do some laundry in my very PINK laundry room. (source:http://inspirationfordecoration.blogspot.com/ ) While my laundry is doing it's swirlin and twirlin, I would go to my studio and craft some sweet PINK crafts like this beautiful PINK chalkboard frame (source: http://img2.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.246269206.jpg) and these adorable PINK Christmas trees. (source:http://daisypinkcupcake.blogspot.com/2010/12/crepe-paper-christmas-tree.html ) After the chores were done and my PINK crafts completed, I would hop into my very PINK VW bus, (source:http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/c/0/0/de/3/AAAADFp_0p8AAAAAAN487g.jpg?v=1279846639000 ) head to the beach and my very PINK beach cottage (source:http://seacottage.blogspot.com/2011/02/cottages-and-cupcakes.html ) where I would kick back with a glass of PINK bubbly (source:http://moderndaymoms.com/barefoot-wine-pink-moscato-bubbly/ ) and watch the sunset over the horizon! All these images and more can be found on my PINK Pinterest board! Please stop by How Sweet the Sound where Beverly has more PINK inspiration waiting for you! Have a wonderful Weekend, filled with Bubbles of JOY, xxoo Nan

Lots of craziness and excitment this week! We started our end of the year Ocean Animals unit, and I have been having so much fun! Hopefully the kids have been, too (oh, and learning some things as well, haha!)! We started the week off by learning about the five oceans--I feel old since I was only taught about four main oceans, you know, way back when there were nine planets...Anyways, I found this song on Proteacher last year and fancied it up a bit for our song book...I do not know the song's author, so please let me know if you do! Click the picture to download it for free! We also did a lesson on the ocean's zones and made a fun foldable to hold facts about each layer. The kids were totally into all of those creepy creatures down in the twilight and midnight zones! The original idea for this flipbook came from this site. I tweaked it a little for my kiddos, and have included directions and a printable for you below if you'd like to add this to your Ocean file (or should I say, binder?). Click the pic below for the freebie! Next week, we are going to become marine biologists to prepare for our Ocean Animals Museum. I am so pumped! My team is doing a grade level Museum Day, with each class studying a different animal group. It is so much fun to watch all of our little firsties give their speeches and show off their published "All About" books, models, and posters. If you think your class would like to become wildlife biologists too, please check out my newest unit. It is common core aligned for grades K-2 (standards included) and it can be used to study any animal! Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more Ocean fun and freebies in the next few weeks! And, if you have any great Oceans activities you'd like to share, I'd love to hear them!

Over a century ago, this place was a popular vacation spot. White sandy beaches, clear waters, Gulf Breezes... It was the perfect island oasis.

Patricia van Essche and her delightful illustrations are always a breath of fresh air here at The Lisa Porter Collection. You can imagine how thrilled I was this evening to find that she is the Chic Illustrator of the Week in the digital publication of Town & Country magazine! Congratulations Patricia ~ XO www.pvedesign.com "They always ask, 'Hey mom, do you like doing that? How much are you getting paid for that'!" Illustration by pve design for J.McLaughlin "I hope I give them a good lesson for the future when I tell them often: learn to love what you do and it will love you back!" pve These wonderful words of wisdom are from the lovely & talented wife, mother & artist Patricia van Essche, seen here with her three children who ask really great questions! Patricia's incredible art has me thinking about how each one of us has in a corner of our memory, a place that we once called home. www.pvedesign.com These homes are the safety deposit boxes of our memories. Loving marriages, great parties, happy childhoods, and long-held family traditions. www.pvedesign.com Some families live in a home for a little while and some families live in a home forever! Either way, feelings of security and emotional comfort grow naturally from the sights, sounds & scents of the familiar. www.pvedesign.com With each home that my husband and I have lived in, I have certain distinct memories. I can close my eyes and visualize bringing home our newborn babies, the smell of rising bread, the feel of beach sand on the kitchen floor, the sound of my daughter's voice as she comes through the door, and the scent of a freshly mowed lawn by my son. www.pvedesign.com Our move from California to Kentucky was a biggie! In the last ten years, so much good life has been lived here. I'll always hang on to memories of planting my first garden & the day a brand new puppy named Gracie arrived. "Home is where the heart is and when a commission comes to me, all I can imagine are the many hearts who have entered this home. A home is where the heart is even after one moves on." pve www.pvedesign.com So very true! Everyone leaves home and everyone finds a place to call home. Turns out that the end is many times the beginning! I loved reading Patricia's interview when she sat down with another one of my favorite artist, Anne Harwell at Annechovie. Found out that Patricia is a Kentucky-bred, born & raised right here in the Bluegrass! www.pvedesign.com Thank you so much, Patricia, for allowing me the privilege of sharing your incredible artistry & your words of wisdom here at The Lisa Porter Collection. All illustrations courtesy of Patricia van Essche of pve design.
