in preparation

Posted on December 4, 2007 by thirdstoryies

It was a late night last night as the final preparations were made for our office event this afternoon. We are joining with other design firms in the area to put on an event for kids involved with the Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club. The kids will come to this large holiday party and make a series of crafts that have been designed and prepared by the different firms. When they leave they will have gifts that they can share with family members or friends.
We’re putting together snow globes made from recycled baby food and jelly jars. The caps have been primed and painted red, and 100 silver and green “trees” have been fashioned out of florists wire, ready to be decorated with multi-colored beads and twisted into shape. The kids will scoop in some glitter, fill the jar with water and we’ll seal the top with some marine adhesive. Turn, shake and enjoy. We think it’s going to be a popular choice.

Pictures to follow, and of course, a recap of E’s shining stage role from Sunday after we catch our breath.
