A Peculiar Notion

Day Two Down & Not a Frown!

To God be the Glory!  I have the most incredible friends.  They love me, pray for me, and encourage me when I'm at my lowest.  I appreciate them so much.

Day two of Art Camp was actually orderly and a lot less stressful than yesterday.  We did layer two of our papier-mache project this morning, and it went as well as could be expected.  When I arrived I noticed that the balloons were not all dry, and I'm praying that they are dry by Friday for the final touches.  We have one more layer to complete on Thursday, then the finishing touches on Friday.

After the papier-mache we did today I had the kids take a break and grab a snack. Fortunately the mess was not as bad as yesterday and I was able to clean up before the next craft.  Then we made Fimo Clay pens (which I'm cooking in the oven as I write), and painted the bases for our Sand & Shell crosses.  They'll glue the shells on the crosses tomorrow morning as soon as they come in and then Josie will teach them how to weave.  I have a lot of fabric to tear into strips tonight!  We'll be making woven placemats tomorrow.  I will not be there (I'll be taking my mom to the hospital for abdominal surgery...please pray!  Her name is Stella...), so I want her to have a mess-free day with the kids since she's my Fearless Substitute!  :0)

I'm so tired!  But a lot less frustrated than last night.  Thanks so much for the prayers dear friends.  They worked!

Blessings,
