My first project was an altered CD case that I made for our son Jeffrey who is living at Boys Town in Nebraska this year. He has made so many amazing changes and his attitude is so different it is just miraculous. When he was here this past Christmas Bill got a photo of Jeffrey and me together that is one of my favorites. He looks so genuinely happy in it and we are so close to each other. This photo just would not have been possible even 7 months ago. I wanted to express this to Jeffrey and let him know how proud I am of him and how much we love him and always have, inside the little envelope is a gushy note saying this to him.
My next project features our son COLIN! He is a drummer in the band at his school and loves to play the tympani. Every concert they have given this year he has played the tympani and nobody else. He sometimes plays other percussion instruments, but if there is a tympani part that is where he is. He told me that is because he "is a tympani specialist". His band teacher told me she doesn't let any of the others play them because Colin knows what he is doing and does it well. I love how the paper matches the color of the drums and also how the circle paper mimics the top of the tympani.
Not to leave anyone out...for my third project I used a photo of Bill! Remember that big wind storm we had a few weeks ago? The wind continued to blow for a few days after that so when the weekend came we all took Colin's kites out to the fields near our house to see if we could get them off the ground. (We had tried once before with his stunt kite and had no success) It was PERFECT! Both kites seemed to take off on their own. We all took turns flying each one but it is clear we all enjoyed the double line stunt kite the most. Yep...we are all kids at heart!
