Jael's Scribble House

Hey Livejournal, my girlfriend's selling some stuff. She binds books, and makes other stuff. She bound some books of my participants' writing for the Centre, and everyone over paid our price by at least double because they were so beautiful.

ALSO SHE MADE ME A CUSTOM BOOK WITH POLYMER CLAY AND IT IS ONE OF MY MOST PRIZED POSSESSIONS NO BIAS

You can find the stuff being offered here:

I thought I started back to the Centre today, but you know what? It's Labour Day, so Wednesday is our first meeting day (teaching doesn't start until next month, but we're choosing the groups now).

But basically I'm pretty excited to get back for some reasons:

1) My research on my literacy program was accepted to an international journal, so we're going to get more recognition and hopefully more funding because of that.

2) This will be the fifth year of the Reading Group and I am getting that nudging feeling that perhaps it could or should be the last (with me as the facilitator, anyway).

3) LIBRARY I THINK

To explain that, I'm getting the feeling that I am close to having done all I can do with this group, but it was my idea so I don't think I could just move on and say "'kay, bye." I want to provide something that will make meaning of my time there and justify the time I put into this project.

So Wednesday I'm going to propose establishing a lending library. We're already one step away from this, as I am constantly bringing books from home for the participants to read.

I AM KIND OF EXCITED
