Older Pictures from Earlier Years with Keepers Girls

These pictures are from past years that I wanted to post.

This was in Spring of 2008 when we were studying Flower Arranging. This is a wonderful florist friend that came over to our house with lots of flowers for the girls to arrange. She taught them about design and let them design their own arrangement.

Pinning Ceremony: July 2010

     Each year, we have our pinning ceremony in July. The girls receive their badges that they have earned for the year and bring some of the projects to display for their family to see. I have included some pictures from the pinning ceremony from this past July.

Each girl is holding their ragdoll that they had handmade; one of two dolls that they made.

This is a picture of the girl's quilts that they made this year. They are patchwork doll quilts. They turned out really cute.

Receiving their pins

In this picture they are showing their weaving projects; either a place mat or coaster.
