Our son (pictured on the far left) is a member of his schools' Academic Team. The school is new this year so has never had a presence in the Governor's Cup Rounds. My husband is a fabulously talented wood artist so the team asked him if he would make them some name holders. After he completed the holders, he reached out to a laser artist who then volunteered to put on the name of the school and mascot. All of this happened in one day, and the team was presented with the holders and lamenated name tags that evening just before their competition. What a wonderful surprise for them all. I took pictures and even brought a piece of cardstock for all the team members to sign as a way of sharing thanks, but really had no plans for their use. That evening, I checked my twitter account to see that StampTV (a free resource at Stamptv.com) had uploaded a video on using photographs to make cards. What a great idea ... right? I watched the video and created my own interpretation using the cardstock the children had already signed as a thank you to the gentlemen for donating their time and talent. Truly an example of merging art, crafts, talent, and heart to support the new school and the team.
The reality that I find, is that this is just one example of how the local artists of Berea come together for something worthwhile. Many of the same individuals will create and share Breast Cancer Awareness with us as well. So survivors, as we move into this very important month of awareness, take time to notice and be thankful for all of those arts and crafts individuals/organizations that contribute so much to support us!
Blessings, Jeannette
