I have to share some photos of the outreach Valentine cards for shut-ins ...mostly women in a nearby assisted living program. I still need to complete about 25 more but even as I know I will not meet these gentle souls I know how excited they will be receiving a handmade card just for them. Tonight we just relaxed and played with wooden bookmarks and a couple different types of markers. Tomorrow I am going to apply a glaze with a sprinkle of mica and glitter to add a sense of glamor and pizazz for years of reading enjoyment. Tomorrow I am attending the beginnings of the 2012 "Hats Off" celebration and fund raiser. This is the ground floor preparation meeting ...and I need as much inside information and the examine what the expectations will be for this community endeavor. I am keeping this post short and sweet but the photos can say it all much more effectively than searching for the correct words. Be warm and snuggle in to keep warm with someone you love. Blessings, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
I love seeing all those happy souls enjoying art in your space. This was such a wonderful idea. Aren't you proud of what you have done? You should be. All those people you are touching and letting them have a chance to be creative. A space that welcomes them to create.
