Play Time: Word Game

I've always wanted to keep a sketch book of daily drawings. I did this when I was in school, because sketchbooks were usually a course requirement. While working as a substitute teacher, which I did when my children were still young, I also had time to do this, often drawing in class while the students worked. But since starting my full-time teaching career, I just don't seem to be able to fit it in, as those few precious free moments are spent working on more 'finished' pieces.

So, lately, I have played around with the idea of doing a daily - or, more realistically, weekly - collage sketchbook, where I do small collages taking no more than half an hour or so. Just to play with ideas, to experiment.  I started with "The Cow Jumped over the Moon?", and then tried one that was mostly text.  I call it "Word Game."

I  hope to do this as a weekly feature here. I think giving ourselves some "play time" is important, don't you?
