Family Pilgrimages

Last month the Williams clan made one of our annual pilgrimages out of paradise to the Ocean at Moclips, WA. This is the earliest we have gone and put us in the middle of Razor Clam season. It is amazing to watch a deserted beach fill up with what looks like thousand of people in the rain digging for clams and then become deserted again in just a few hours.

Four generations made appearances this trip. Rock painting is a family affair on these trips.

I had the opportunity to take granddaughter Rowan out kite flying for her first time. She found a Mickey Mouse kite in the closet of the Beach House and it flew great for her. She did drop the string once and had to chase it down the beach where the handle got stuck in some driftwood.

Our three core values guideWhy we are

I find that these gatherings are a great reminder that life is about family and the relationships you invest your time in.

Remember the days when you were a kid and first got the coolest art supplies you could find? How much fun was that! Now you can provide the same fun to kids through our art supply drive! The Kittitas Health Network with sponsorship from Jerrol’s, APOYO, NEAR, and Mountain View Dental will be putting on the Investing in Your Future event on May 21st to encourage education and activities that promote the health of families. This event will have pizza, art activities, and free art supplies. However, we still need the art supplies!

Starting now, Jerrol’s will be running an art supply drive in order to support this event! These supplies will be donated to kids ages 5-13 at the Investing in Your Future event. You can bring in items to donate, put together your own gift bags, or purchase a preassembled art kit for them! With these supplies families will be able to do art and fun activities together, be it watercolor, drawing, coloring or just cutting and pasting.

Let the imaginations soar and the art supply scavenger hunt begin!

Corrie’s Craft of the Month

Mason Jar StringArt

With Mother's Day just around the corner, here's a perfect project for the mothers in your life.

Supplies:

Piece of wood, cork, or old cutting board

Mason Jar template (@ Jerrol's)

Wire nails (40-50)

Hammer

Yarn

Flowers (real or fake)

Drill (for making a hole at the top)

1. Cut the template in half. Choose if you want to use the one with the number guide or not.

2. Place the template where you want it on your board. Make sure to leave some room at the top for the flowers. (my board is 8.5x11 and is the smallest I would go)

3. Hammer the nails through the paper template and partway through your board. Make sure to not let the nails poke through to the back of your board.

4. Once all the nails are in your board rip off the paper template.

5. Take your yarn and tie a knot around nail one (if you're using the guide) or any nail if you want to make up your own pattern. (which is what I did) Wrap the yarn around each nail in whatever pattern you are doing. There is really no wrong way to do this. Tie off the yarn on your last nail.

6. Arrange flowers in your jar, real or fake works.

7. Drill two holes at the top of your board and use yarn to hang it.
