LOCKS OF LOVE GOT 22 INCHES OF BLONDE HAIR TODAY
Today was a big day. Grandangels Leanna (12) and Sarah (8) gave their beautiful long blonde hair to LOCKS OF LOVE. Some little girl with cancer or some other disease that results in hair loss will get some beautiful locks. I am proud of the girls – this is their second 11-inch contribution each.
Here is Leanna (Sunday) getting her Second STAR STUDENT AWARD for dance and drama at the Academy for the Performing Arts….followed by a picture of Leanna (Tuesday) after donating her hair. (Fantastic Sam’s gives FREE CUTS to donators!)
This is Sarah (the short one) getting her 3rd Year STAR STUDENT AWARD at the Academy for Dance (ballet, jazz, and Irish) followed by her picture AFTER donating her hair.
FIELD TRIP TO VA LIVING MUSEUM IN NEWPORT NEWS
Last Friday, my daughter got to go on the Field Trip to the VA LIVING MUSEUM with Sarah’s second grade class! Here are a couple of great pictures from the trip! (Sarah is in the front on the dinosaur!) She is transformed into a TURTLE in the picture below!)
If you are ever in Newport News you can go to the Museum and pet a skunk – or a snake. 🙂 My daughter had so much fun being a chaperone that she doesn’t want ME TO MISS ALL THE FUN – I get to do this trip when Cooper is in 2nd grade (providing I win the chaperone lottery process. 🙂 They had lots of fun – so much that Sarah wasn’t sure what was better – the field trip or the dance recital!
COOPER’S 5TH BIRTHDAY
Cooper had a great birthday June 9th. He got to go to CHUCK E CHEESE – a paradise for kids!
One mommy, one poppa, two sisters, one grandma Shirley (the photographer), one friend, and two sisters – now that is what I call a great party!
SCRAPPY HAPPY ORANGE CRUSH MYSTERY QUILT TOP AND BACK ARE FINISHED
I decided to put only one small 2 inch brown border on the Orange Crush Mystery Quilt. It will be the perfect size for my grandangel James (age 5 1/2).
I named it the SCRAPPY HAPPY ORANGE CRUSH MYSTERY QUILT. It is 68 x 81.
The binding will be orange.
I made a SCRAPPY HAPPY PIECED BACK too (all 15 1/2″ squares)…….and here it is!
This was a very difficult process to make a totally scrappy quilt. I enjoyed the challenge but the rest of my scrappy quilts will most likely be PLANNED or SEMI-RANDOM SCRAPPY!
You can’t see it but in the checkboard square I wrote information about the quilt and it will be quilted into the quilt – this is my first quilt label!
Well done to your grand-daughters, and I love the new haircuts. Just right for summer. Well done to you for getting your OC finished. I’m with you on scrappy – I love the look when other people do totally scrappy, but I need to have a little more control myself.
I love the back of your OC quilt. What a great way to use up all the extra bits.
