CREATIVE RECYCLING

Creative recycling: old suits, pants, jackets, jeans,etc.
Cool, huh?

COLORS IN MIND

LEAF PRINTS FOR LINENS

This looks like a fun and easy project that could be used on all sorts of fabric projects.  Your mom has stamps...all you need is a fabric paint. I think this would also work with pre-made rubber stamps or you could use those thick foam stamps. The key is in the fabric paint and making sure you follow the directions for setting the paint so its washable. Here is the Martha Stewart  website.  

Love forever and always,  Nana

JOAN BAUER: AN AUTHOR EXPLAINED

You did a MARVELOUS job on this project! I really enjoyed reading about JOAN BAUER. Her life is exceptional. Most of all, I like what she said:

 "The theme that I try to carry into all of my writing is this: ADVERSITY, IF WE LET IT, WILL MAKE US STRONGER." (JOAN BAUER)

 I believe that is true! As the Bible says:

"There's more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!" (ROMANS 5:3-5 as translated in THE MESSAGE)

School Project, May 2012

I heard that the projects will be voted on and the winner will be announced.  (I am praying that your project wins!)

At Crone Middle School with your project.  (Cool!)
