"Moments in Bloom"

National Nursing Home week is upon us shortly and the Crafty Crew has been very busy creating our new mantle! Really, an Art Gallery installation! We worked with beautiful, heavy, crepe paper to create our larger than life, fleurs. Mason jars were used to create our smaller roses and a few seed pods mixed in. The photographs were taken by Bob Crandall, with a little direction from Laurie Donner! On the bottom we created watercolor flowers torn and layered to make bouquets to round out our display!

Stay tuned for our fun filled Nursing Home Week- May 10th- 16th!
