Our founder/former director Betty Connors passed away in February. A vase of tulips were given to us from her memorial service. We were asked to look at only the flowers, and NOT our paper. We used paint to create what we thought it looked like...again, we were not allowed to look at our paper the entire time. It was difficult to use the space, yet keep the flowers in place.

I liked weaving. I picked colorful ribbons because I like colors.
written by Hayat8
I used green and purple and different kids of blue to make the water. I probably used 10 different colors. I like that I did that. I liked using tissue paper to make the flowers on the lilypads.
