SENIOR MOMENT 4 WOMEN

The Juneteenth Celebration is about freedom and liberation.   President Lincoln's Proclamation  on 1/1/1863   allowed slaves to be set free from slavery . Black History Month   honors this and  is celebrated  in the   month of February. However, Texas officially ended slavery on  6\19\1865.  Now this event is also celebrated and is called, Juneteenth. Celebrations for this holiday is on June 19th annually.  I recently began to include Juneteenth decor in my craft projects. I created my 2025 wreath from paper.   I could not recycle my wreath  because it was damaged.  I just discovered this mishap, so I needed a new Juneteenth decoration. I was was so busy that I almost forgot that the holiday was this week. The project below is my 2026 craft for this federal holiday: JUNETEENTH FLORAL DECOR: NEED: Black Construction Paper, 8x11 Red\ Black Animal Print Wire Ribbon, 2-3 Inches Wide Faux Flowers\ Greenery Colors: Red, ...

  I have been a wig wearer for many years.  I didn't care for my grey hair. I preferred wigs in shades of Burgundy and Brown. My problem was  that wig wearing in the summer made me hot. I was looking  at wigs online when I saw  several headband wigs .  The attached  hair was various lengths and colors. A lot of the attached headbands were colors I didn't have in my wardrobe. I also checked out headbands wigs at the wigs stores. Most of the wigs' caps were made with mesh, lace, or had waffle weave design . They didn't seem to have bulky hair sewed on the wig caps.    Wigs like this might  keep me from getting too hot. I did  purchase a headband with a black headband. The idea of wearing a plain black headband with all of my outfits seemed boring. Here are the details for my  Headband Wig Project : ITEMS NEEDED: Headband wig with black band Wig  T Pins, 2 inch Multicolored Rhinestone/ Gem Stickers : 3-4 mm,  Self-Adhesi...

  A friend of mine taught me that Thrift Stores have great  finds. She taught me a few tricks on how to find brand  name designer clothes . Some of the clothes were barely used because some wealthy people changed their  wardrobe e very year. A lot of these clothes are  donated  to  Thrift Stores.  Some Thrift Stores receive   new designer clothes that  are Close Outs or Over  Stocks.  These clothes are  put in  special area of the  store called, " The Boutique ".  T hey also receive new   brand  named household products,  jewelry, and craft  supplies.  L ast Christmas, I found a large basket full  mini   Christmas ornaments and crafts supplies.   Therefore, I saved  a lot of money that day. I had  received two mini  Christmas trees for a gift and  had no ornaments. Now  I visit two Thrift Stores  near me every  two wee...

My last year's July 4th craft projects were done  with  paper. I didn't have enough time to devote  to elaborate projects. I researched online videos  and  seasonal catalogs for ideas.  These crafts got damaged in the storage room.  I was looking over my seasonal craft supplies. I discovered some left over wire wreaths I had on hand.  Wire wreath forms are not my favorite. Most of these are  wrapped with mesh. I dislike working with  mesh  material. I usually find other materials  for my  wire wreaths.  Here are the details for  my  wire wreath project: JULY 4TH PATRIOTIC WREATH : NEED: 14 Inch Wire Wreath Patriotic Table Cover : Rectangle, 54 Inch x 108 Inch Patriotic Glitter Star Picks, 6 pc Tools: Scissors  Glue Gun with Glue Sticks INSTRUCTIONS:    Remove tags from wreath.
