Clarisse & EJ's Family

Alex picked some flowers, laid them out in the flower press, patiently waited (yeah right! Are they ready yet Grandma? every day for a week!) for them to dry, laminated them and "embellished" (his new word, that and "texture". I have way to many home improvement shows on the tv) to make book marks for his Mom. She likes to read a lot and dog ears the pages, we had a little conversation about that and he decided to make her book marks for her birthday.

So, Happy Birthday, Amanda! Oh, and do you think he looks bored? He told his mom it was kind of boring to make them. Sheesh! He also hot glued shells he had gathered from Lake Mead onto a picture frame and we made a collage of pictures from his visit last winter. I hope she likes it.
