SENIOR LADY: HEART 4 A CAUSE PROJECT!

Image
  When I was a busy working mother, I didn't know  about health awareness   support groups. Years later my mother told me she was invited to an Alzheimer's   Luncheon. I learned more about this support group online. Their theme color was purple. Now my church celebrates Cancer Awareness annually. We have a luncheon on Saturday. On Sunday, we have  a speaker, the ladies   wear pink,  and  the   men wear the Cancer Awareness pins. We also make donation to the Cancer Awareness group. I was inspired to make some Awareness pins for me and my Mom to wear.  I already had plenty of  craft supplies on hand.

The leaves are just beginning to change to yellow,red, and orange.  This annual fall occurrence   reminds me that it's  time to work on my fall decor   projects.  Last week I was shopping at my favorite Dollar store .  They had just restocked their traditional fall display   section. It  had plenty of Fall flowers in  orange, red,   and yellow colors. There was a second display of F all decor in the front of the store. It had more faux Fall decor in lots of  shades of lavender and purple. I didn't   realize so many purple fall flowers existed!   I grabbed a basket  full of them. These purple fall   flowers would be gone quickly when other Purple Lovers  visit this store. Here are details for my fall project: PURPLE FALL FAUX FLOWERS  PROJECT: NEED: 2, Laven...

SENIOR LADY: POLKA DOT JEWELRY PROJECT !

After I had retired, my bedtime rituals had changed. Now I read my emails and visited online websites for  unique   craft ideas.   I had recently purchased a large  pack   of colored  foam  sheets. I bought them online and  I  discovered that they  had adhesive backing. I didn't    read product details.  So, this feature was overlooked. I decided to keep  them   and assumed there would be online craft ideas available.   However,  t here were only a  few   adult crafts using foam sheets   with adhesive backing.   I like large teardrop   earrings.  Most of  my teardrop earring were made from wood. I suddenly recalled that I had a pair of animal print foam  earrings . But, I had  lost of  one of these foam earrings.  I t was  obvious, that my adhesive foam sheets would be   the  perfect item for making   earrings. I'll use...
