For my Design Team post at Scraps of Color E:spire I altered a fan for my Auntie Granny. You'll see her later in the post. Since then the fans have been in demand. Call me frugal, but yes I recycle our church program hymns all the time. Everything else for these fans came from my stash of goodies accept for the square doilies they are from my mother's stash! First I want to share the fan I made for my Aunt Cora. She's a member of the mother's board at First Baptist Broad.
Recipe ingredients:
Robert Jackson digital
Bic Mark-its
Crystal Stickles
Our Daily Bread stamp
Spellbinder die Prima flowers
Hancock Fabrics lace
Webster's Pages Designers Trim
Anita's acrylic paint
When I was a senior in high school, a senior citizen told me to always keep a song in my heart and a psalm in my mind. She's right it's nothing like a song and a scripture to encourage yourself. I included them both in the fans.
How about this hat! Aunt Cora wear hats from time to time, but nothing like this sister.

This is the fan that got it all started.

Here's my Auntie Granny, Elizabeth Jones Wilson. She's my mother's oldest sister. My mother is the baby. She cooks, bake, can preserves, and visits the nursing home. We just don't let her drive. Auntie Granny is full of wisdom. Don't tell her what you can't do. You'll leave her inspired with a plan! I took her to a visiting church Temple of Deliverance Church of God in Christ, to hear Bishop Milton Walter Hawkins preach. He preached on Favor!
I know it was a long post. Thank you for hanging out with me. Be blessed...
