2015-06-23 06:28:07 PM ccoleman26 We had the BEST craft today. The ladies loved it! We made birdnest necklaces. If you look it up on pinterest, they are adorable. It's all wire wound up like a birdnest and then you use teal colored beads (like robin eggs) and put them in the nest with the wire for how many children they have. The ones without chilldren loved them too! We had staff asking for us to make them and do it as a fundraiser
2015-06-23 06:28:10 PM ashley17 im thinking about picking some blueberries for the residents so we can make something with them
