Grand~Darlings Get Very Creative

I don't need to tell you how proud 

of our grandchildren we are!

I will tell you about the projects the 

girls made to enter in the 

project show that is coming up 

in their school district.

Oldest cutie found an amazing piece of 

bark/root off of an old, dead tree that was cut down.

She was very intrigued with this and wanted to use it 

for her project.

She and her Dad sanded and smoothed and worked 

on this piece of wood to get it to 

sit nicely....

it was going to be a centerpiece!

She and Pops shopped for succulents and other 

items to make this project amazing.

Each piece was carefully arranged....

and clipped.....

and hot glued into just the right place.

They gathered up some very interesting moss 

and lichens to use, also.

The time and creativity put into this project 

really paid off.

The finished centerpiece is wonderful.

There have even been requests for several more....

friends want one for their home!

What do you think of this succulent centerpiece,

Glitterinas?

Didn't she do a nice job?

Let's change gears to fairy gardens and take a look 

at another project!

This grand is all about fairies!

She has been wanting to construct a fairy garden

for a while.....so this was the perfect time!

She started out by gathering sticks....a whole bucket full....

to use in building the fairy cottage that would be in her 

fairy garden!

It's amazing what sticks, hot glue and some 

card board can transform into....

She and Pops used popsicle sticks and more hot glue 

and card board to make a very fun roof for the 

fairies' cottage.

She spent some time painting the roof, the door, and 

a shutter to make them look just right!

Pops got to take another shopping trip to buy 

plants that would complete the fairy garden.

Everything was ready to plant and assemble....

She was very happy with the way her 

fairy garden was looking.

Here's the finished fairy garden.....

Somebody looks very pleased with their work!

Both girls worked hard on these 

projects.....and Pops needs a pat on the back, too,

for knowing just when to offer help

and

 when to step back and let our 

creative grand~darlings go to town!

You know I am so glad when you take time 

to stop by 

Pink Glitter 

and see what shakin' ......

there's always something going on!

Leave me a comment.....

 so I know you stopped by....

and

.....to let me know what you think of 

the girls' projects!

Thanks, Glitterinas, you are the best!

Hugs and glitter,

Tammy

P.S. The project show was a success for both grands.

They each got a blue ribbon for their project 

and 

the fairy garden won Grand Champion of the 

show!

It was a fun day!
