Art work for holidays

When I was in the 8th grade I had a delightful art teacher who taught me things like how to make beaded bookmarks and other useful things. At that time, cheese came in wooden boxes just right for a loom. Later you could buy metal looms that were easier to use. I think our children were artists also as they made many things besides the green rock Scott did. In the sixth grade Susan had a teacher who at Christmas had them bring a couple of hangers and she taught them how to make a decoration for the holiday which I still use. It hung from the front room chandelier and was and is lovely. Now I hang things every holiday but have purchased them. Cindy went in for wreaths for the front door. Sally's teacher had them make a large candle, I think in a Crisco can. I know our Christmas tree has many things they made. They were made mostly at the church Advent family gathering. I have one granddaughter, Holly, who has given me a collection of M and M decorations. That is my initials. I even have lights that look like M and M's.
