Cookin' Up Creations

We have all heard children (and many adults) say, "When I Grow Up..."
The world is full of opportunities and this month we are going to explore some of them. Join us in September as we create challenges based on careers . . . Who knows, you might decide what you want to be when you grow up!


When I Grow Up - Anon

Someday soon when I grow up, I’ll have a job to do
I’ll write a book or be a cook
Or work inside a zoo.
I might want to drive a bus
Or teach children to read
I’ll lead a train or fly a plane
Or plant a little seed.
I might want to fight a fire
Or be a doctor too
I’ll build a house or sew a blouse
Or sail the ocean blue.
So many jobs that I might choose
I wonder what I will be
I’ll work and learn
Until it’s my turn
To find the right job for me.


Remember - A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations.

Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....



For my challenge I chose teacher; since I was/am a teacher. I taught first grade and pre-kindergarten. Then I was a librarian in the high school, middle school, and elementary. I LOVE teaching. I retired 3 years ago, before COVID I still substitute once in a while and love it. **ALSO include some thread, string, or ribbon on your page
Your challenge is to create a page that includes studying and/or learning. My photos are of the Manatee Park that we like to visit. Last February when we were there we saw some researches working there.
