Halloween Window Stars

The Halloween origami stars that I made are up on the windows now. These are in the family room. As the sun rises and there is more light, the window stars will become brighter. I like how nature and art coincide.

St. Lucia Day

Olivia had the honor of representing St. Lucia at Christ Lutheran Church today. This annual tradition is something that the congregation looks forward to not only because it celebrates the holiday, but also because it celebrates a graduating senior.

Breakfast with Santa

The Scandia-Marine Lions hosted a Breakfast with Santa today. The children were excited to share what they wanted with Santa.

Window Stars for a Golden Birthday

 It's always fun for me to make window stars to celebrate a special occasion or holiday. Today was Olivia's 18th birthday. It also is her Golden Birthday, thus all the gold stars. Needless to say, she was surprised when she saw all of them.
