Really fun bracelet project !


This is the bracelet. I took 3 sheets of 12 in. scrapbook paper (not cardstock) and put 2 coats of mod-podge on them with a sponge brush and let dry. Then I cut the paper into rectangles. They were 2 1/2 in. by 6 inches. I made a few practice ones out of regular paper just to see what I liked and the size. I wanted it big to make a statement. I need to make some more in other fall colors. I think it turned out cute! It's just like making those gum wrapper chains, you fold in half long ways, then half again and half again. Ask any old woman, we all made these as kids.

I saw my sister-in-law Lisa this summer with the cutest bracelet and she said her daughter, Claire, made it at Girl's Camp ! I about passed out. I figured that if she could make that at camp, then I could make one too.

History was made at the Ohio State Football game !!

This is the very COOL Navy vs. Ohio State home opener football game last Saturday. We WON !! Well, we should have won since we were favored and we were obviously bigger than those cute Navy boys, but...History was made at this game. We had only the 4th person ever (non-band member) to "dot" the "I" in Ohio on the field. It was astronaut (and we won't mention Democrat) John Glenn. He and his wife went out on the field for this awesome showing. There were so many band members on the field that they had to make the"script Ohio" 4 times on the field. They had over 80 Alumni band members also marching on the field and quite a few former drum majors out there...one was 92. HA It was a wonderful day with glorious weather. Then we went home and BYU beat #3 ranked Oklahoma, what a day.
