PLYWOOD CARD


Melody is heading up our project to make a big plywood Christmas card for the base entrance. She picked the graphic and design and I think it is going to be really nice. It's a globe, with children of all colors joining hands and circling the globe. The words above say "Peace on Earth and Goodwill to man" and a reference. There's a dove flying towards the globe with a yellow ribbon in his beak....and yellow ribbons that the kids are trailing....the bottom says something like "Merry Christmas from your .........Air Force Chapel. "


We began by priming the plywood. THIS was the spot where the little ones could shine.



The photo I missed was when Marty went sledding on the plywood...o.k. it wasn't quite that bad but it was hilarious. They had a blast.

Mandy and I took the younger children to the playground...

Have you ever seen a sock like THIS one? LOL
While we were at the park Matt & Melody sketched the details onto the plywood.


Jamin and Melody do some detail painting

Sis: Sure do like seeing all the pictures. This afternoon, after a board meeting, Dad will get to see a bunch of the foto's since last Sunday when he was home a few hours.

My talent lies in the area of "the little ones" when it comes to painting pictures etc.

God bless you all!

What a great idea!
That would be a wonderful project for our front yard.

What a cool project! You should take a picture of it done.

Melody is going to finish it and we put it up at the base on 2 December - I'll be sure to nab a nice photo of it.

What a neat project! I'm sure it will be a nice surprise for people as they enter the base.

My talent is around the littleones area too. In fact my kids can't always decide if tristan (7) or I have done a picture. I have the artistic ability of a 7 yo. LOL And yes I have seen a sock like that, too many times! I think my boys have brought home half the lake beach in their socks over the years. They seem to think it is great fun to fill their socks with sand. I do not think it's so fun if the sock never fits the foot again after such a stretch!!!
