Last Session from NAEA

This was my last session from NAEA Fort Worth!  I was filling in for my director, and presenting with Andrea Steel from The Resaissance Center in Dickson,TN( http://www.rcenter2.org/) & Karen Kwarciak from Cheekwood in Nashville,TN (http://www.cheekwood.org/).  It was a lot of fun teaming up with these ladies...and I wish more would have been able to attend(Sunday sessions seem to not have many people).  I learned a lot from their parts of the presentation..and hope to be able to work with them again!  

NAEA FORT WORTH: SWAG!

This is the contents of a special swag bag I received from ColArt for being in the top 20 blogs from  The Art of Ed !  They were amazing!! They offered to help me with supplies for my main session...but since my session was advocacy....the offered to give me door prizes!!!!!!!!!!  Gotta love that!!  

I got a LOT more than this....but I don't wanna brag! ha ha

Exhibition Hall: OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever seen any documentaries or "B" movies on piranhas!??!!?  Well..that is kind of what the exhibition hall was like when the doors open every day!! HA HA HA (am I right attendees?)  After a few minutes..everyone disperses & it really isn't that bad.  IT IS ENOUGH TO BRING A TEAR TO YOUR EYE!  One could actually spend the whole day in the exhibition hall!  There are so many companies...so much to see...so much to do(many of the companies have projects you can do..or products you can test).  I have so much "stuff" that I'm taking home with me...it is crazy. Michaels area was so beautiful...like a full set!!!  I also loved Blick's set up!  

NAEA SESSION PREZI: Blogging & Other Shameless Self Promotion

NAEA FORT WORTH : Secret Word

If you are at the conference....and attending my Blogging & Shameless Self Promotion session...I've got some goodies to give away!  The first two of you who are here..and come up to me before the session starts and says GREEN TURTLE will get the goodies!!! 

Just a little fun with Mr. E! 

NAEA FORT WORTH: FIRST DAY FUN!

Andy Warhol hadn't heard of Art with Mr. E?!?!?!  What's up with that Andy????

This is Jo Pearson...she is a creative consultant for Michael's ...and was one of the judges on Craft Wars!!

I'm having a blast at NAEA Fort Worth!  I've already met so many amazing people.   The first hour and a half I pretty much stood in the same place talking to I don't know how many people that knew me from the blog. It was so encouraging to speak to them about their teaching situations...and how they've used some of the things from Art With Mr. E in their rooms.  Makes it all worth it!!!!!

Look Who's Going to Fort Worth With Me!

(I was inspired by Mr. R's ugly sweater purse post for  how I decorated the page...ha ha

Mr. R from MY MESSY ART ROOM will be experiencing NAEA Fort Worth Flat Stanley style! 

I'm not sure if you remember my adventures at NAEA NYNY last year?!?!  

Phyl from There's A Dragon In My Art Room took me to NY with her!  I'm not sure I'll be able to do as good of job as Phyl did...but I'm hoping Mr. R enjoy's his experience at the conference!!!!
