My Wife's Artwork for Catholic School's Week 2008
Catholic Schools Week begins Monday and my wife, as room mother for both of my daughters' classes, had the responsiblity of decorating their classroom doors. She had to make sure to work in the theme of "Catholic Schools Light The Way"
Here's LuLu's door:
Each of the paper dolls is dressed in 'clothing' crafted from fabric scraps my sister Katie donated to Lisa. They each also hold a candle in their hands to 'light the way' - the candle being a string of white battery-operated christmas lights Lisa bought for the project.
YaYa's door features an idea I came up with, the use of fireflies:
Because this one was in some part my idea, in concept if not execution, I include a second photo.
Each of the fireflies features one of the before-mentioned lights on their behind.
A heck of a job - kudo's to the Mrs. Here's hoping the kids remember some of what she did for them years down the road.

Love the ideas, and the lights were a great idea...Read the comments they were great too...
Waiting to hear what the school, and the children say about the doors on Monday. :)

Our friend Darlene found the lightning bugs online......keep up here Danny! But thanks again. Also, to one of your posters....I'm saddened that you've only seen lightning bugs once! You should visit Milwaukee during the summer and truly enjoy them in ABUNDANCE. My kids just love the way they light up the summer nights.

Great ideas both! And yes, the kids will remember pretty much all of what she has done for them through the years (you too). She'll forget before they do. :)
