SENIOR LADY: ST. PATRICK DECOR REPURPOSE!

-

 









Years ago, I didn't celebrate St. Patrick's  Day.  Some

of my co-workers loved this holiday. The day after

St. Patrick's Day, they were sick from too much green

beer and Irish appetizers. I wasn't impressed with
 
this type of celebration. 


Recently, I saw documentary about St. Patrick's Day. 

The original celebration was religious. I was glad to

 hear this. I will start doing religious decor for St.

 Patrick's Day from now on. I decided to check

my unused craft supplies. I figured I might have

some green and yellow colored items. There were

enough supplies to use for St. Patrick's Day.


ST. PATRICK'S DAY CHECKERED CROSS



Need:

(2) Mini Green & White Checkered Bakery Boxes
St. Patrick's Day Religious Clings
Yellow Construction Paper
Green & Yellow Pipe Cleaners
Black Permanent Marker

Tools:

Scissors
Glue Gun & Glue Sticks











INSTRUCTIONS:


Cut side tabs off boxes. Open up boxes so they
look like Crosses. Glue boxes to together, so
that green checks are visible on front & back.
















Remove cling with religious phrase and glue it 
in middle of Cross. Outline the words on cling
with the black marker. This makes words visible
 from a distance.













Cut out 1 inch × 4 inch rectangle from yellow
construction paper. Write the words, "BLESSED"
on the paper, with a black marker. Glue yellow
label underneath the cling.

Make hanger for the Cross: Twist green & yellow 
pipe cleaners together. Fold them in half. Add 
glob of glue to back, center of Cross ( near top).
Glue hanger to Cross. Press down hanger to
ensure it is snugly attached.











I enjoyed creating this Cross. The cost was economical

since I had most of the materials on hand. The Cross

was easy to create. Great craft for children and adults.



TIPS:

**  Use any size and color bakery box that's available.
My box was left over from Christmas. I glued two
boxes  together so Cross wouldn't be flimsy.

**  Use St Patrick's Day religious stickers if clings
not available. I got clings from Dollar Store last yr.

** Cross can be sprayed with acrylic sealer if hanging
outside.

THE JEAN SCENE 4 WOMEN!

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:

SENIOR WOMEN CAN WEAR PONYTAILS

Ah, the Sixties, when the ponytail was a style that all of us wore often.The ponytail has been updated and revamped many times. One thing for sure this style will always be around.  It is versatile and can used to look classy for evening out or casual on a "Bad Hair Day".   The question for the senior lady is when style of ponytail is appropriate.  We do not want to look like a young girl or a teenager. I have seen older women that wear ponytails on every occasion. I would hate to see a senior lady at a funeral or a black tie affair with a messy ponytail held by a rubber band! Some styles of ponys are meant to be casual.  Here are some ponys that look  alright for a classy senior lady:      HOW TO STYLE PONYTAIL OVER 50 PONYTAIL FOR RECEDING HAIR

SENIOR WOMEN, LOOKING GOOD JULY 4TH

I chose these shoes to get your attention. I  couldn't wear  heels this high, young or old!  I choose my July 4th outfit carefully. I do not want to look like a walking flag!!  Several years ago I used to buy matching patriotic t-shirts for my husband and I. I must tell you that July 4th was only time he would agree to looking like the Bobbsey Twins. He had a few rules for me. We could wear matching  t-shirts as long as they weren't girly or pink. I have been looking at patriotic clothing and accessories this week. I found all of them on Google and are available under "shopping". I need to buy something very soon. ****************************************************************************** MY WISH LIST:     TOPS/SKIRTS/CAPRI                            ...
