The Benefit of Fun
What difference does it make to have fun? Well, kids could answer that in about 2 seconds. It makes ALL the difference. If a lesson plan isn't fun, I've lost the students almost from the beginning. And that's even true of the adults, too. Their heart isn't in it and soon their concentration won't be either. They stumble through the activity with only half the effort. And the 'less than wonderful' results at the end of the project prove this project was not fun enough.
I know that life isn't all fun and sometimes one must do tasks that are simply necessary and not so pleasant. But what if we began to look for ways to put more fun into our lives? If we smiled more, if we laughed more, if we had more fun, wouldn't those unavoidable less fun things be more tolerable? Doesn't the chocolate pudding at the end of the meal make the brussels sprouts less unpleasant?
The Fun Theory by Volkswagon is a site dedicated to the idea that simply adding fun to our lives can make a difference for us and for the world around us. Here is a video of an experiment proving this theory. When the only way to get from down to up was a flight of stairs and and an escalator, the stairs were a lonely place. But after a piano keyboard was added to the steps, thereby creating instant fun, the stairs became a much much more popular route.

Monday's Potpourri
And for today's Monday's Potpourri, I'd like to introduce GardenDelightsArts. Heidi is a new friend of mine who rescues and raises swallowtail and monarch butterflies. When they are ready, she then releases them to live and fly in freedom. That truly is a garden delight! Heidi is a photographer and a mixed media artists. She also teaches art classes. And I'm delighted to have just discovered that Heidi has box turtles! If you've read my blog before, you know how I love turtles. Here are some of the earrings Heidi makes in her etsy shop. They look like real butterfly wings. But you will be glad to know that no butterfly has been harmed. These are made through a special process that began with a photograph. You'll want to look at the rest of Heidi's shop. There are many fun things there.
Next in today's potpourri is a fish shaped cat bed by natdesigns2003. This is one of the funniest things I've seen. This wide mouth fish serves as a snuggly bed as well as a place for playing hide and seek for you favorite feline. It works kind of like the old fashioned brown paper sack. But oh so much cuter! natdesign also designs and makes clothing for dolls and for people.
And finally, these embroidered pin cushions by manitobagifts. The pin cushions are so pretty, they will inspire you to sew. They are actually pretty enough to have sitting around even if you never put a pin or needle into them. They would make lovely gifts. Debra has many other items in her shop that are hand crafted and embellished with her hand embroidery or applique work.
