pumpkin pie, it is not time to think Christ-

for. Nancy Walsh has a surprise for every-

one and we will also be wearing our ugly

sweaters.

Painting Tips by Nancy Walsh

When stencilling, use a tiny disposable make-up sponge. Dip the flat end

of the sponge into the paint and pounce most of it off on your palette or a

paper towel. Position your stencil securely the pounce the pattern. The

sponge will produce a softer, smoother stencil look.

Kids R Frist Program

We received a very nice “Thank you” card from Guardian ad litem for the boxes we painted for the foster children. A copy of the card is below. Thank you to everyone who helped to paint boxes. Lana Raymond
