A little VBS.....

First off let me share this adorable little button card that I made with this six panel window card.  You all know that buttons are probably my number one favorite embellishment, so I made up this card for a sewing friend who I knew would adore it.
 
Second, I am now half way finished with VBS so let me share some of the kids awesome creations, Our theme this year is Trek through Thailand.  If you recall I talked about cutting something like150 trees, 150 leaves, 60 9x2" grass and backgrounds, 360 elephants,....months and months of prep.  The kids only get about 20 minutes of crafting, so everything has to be ready to go when they get to the room.
 
Here's day one, they created elephant habitats.  Elephants are one of Thailand's most popular tourist sites.  There are very good refuge locations and also very sad situations where people take advantage and mistreat these animals. 
 

 
As you can see, the kids did a great job and were all so proud of their elephant's homes.  Many of them would sit their elephants on the blue felt to tell me, I am letting him take a swim.  How darling is that?
 
I would have also shown last night's craft but due to the tornado warning and horrible storm predictions, much of the city was advised to close early and go home.  Thus we opted to cancel VBS on Tuesday.  So perhaps on Thursday I will have other projects to share.
 
 
Cheers, Holley
