Notes
From Ava
Ah, summer!!
It's funny, when I was a kid I loved summer. Going to
the pool several times a week, riding my bicycle, playing softball
with the “gang” until our parents yelled “Bedtime...NOW!”.
The heat didn't bother me then... I've gotten wimpy now.
Summer is a perfect time to do projects with the kids. Tear up
an old sheet. Lay it flat on the ground outside and let the
neighborhood pals use poster paints with their hands and feet to make
a design. As long as the fabric doesn't get wet, the paint will last.
Let the kids run through the sprinkler to clean up!
Have a safe, enjoyable summer!
Remember,
Happy Crafting!

Crafting
For Our Community
The Sevier County Humane Society is asking for
donations of knitted and crocheted blankets for the animals. The
need to be approximately 20” x 20” and done out of acrylic yarn.
You can drop them off at the shop if you want. I'll see that they
get to the right person. The blankets go home with the animals when
they are adopted so the need is ongoing.

child's hat or 10 points for each adult hat. Points accumulate until
November 15 when the following gift certificates will be handed out:
