First off, I would like the thank all of you who visited me last week and left such wonderful comments! You are all the most wonderful ladies I have ever met who I have technically never met. ;) I must also apologize for not returning the favor, but unfortunately I had become ill with a flu bug and did nothing but sleep for a couple of days.
For those of you who enjoy nosing about crafty and creative work spaces, visit Julia's blog, Stamping Ground, to take a peek, it's a lot of fun I promise.
Now onto my workdesk, which has moved once more, this time to my kitchen counter. The simple truth is I just didn't have enough clear space on my real workdesk to work on this project. The project is a prototype for an event that I have volunteered to help with at the library. My local library is awesome! They allow me use of their meeting room each week (for free), for my scrapbooking classes which is such a benefit for me. I am not sure I could supply enough space in my home for scrapbookers as it is, at times, a job in which you need to spread out. The library also sponsors a program called Streams to Rivers which pairs the local Senior Citizens with the 3rd and 4th graders at the school to do scheduled activities together. Isn't this a great idea? Anyway, I will be instructing them on how to make paper bag albums for their get together in mid-November to use with the pictures each student will be taking of their families over the next several weeks. The Seniors will help them to assemble their albums while each generation is interacting with one other.
Happy Wednesday!

Shari, I love this project where the seniors and the 3rd and 4th graders work together. This is lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea that pairs generations and teaches tolerance and acceptance to both age groups. I am sorry to hear about your being sick. I'm pretty sure you will be punching holes in your sleep if you aren't better soon! Happy WOYWW from #12.
ReplyDeleteLovely idea to get the generations to work together. There is so much each one can teach the other.

ReplyDeleteHi again, thanks for your comments on my blog. You asked about my desk, it is glass - the pattern is sort of etched/painted underneath, I love it mainly because it is flowery and has butterflies - adore butterflies :-) Christine
