Done at Last



Well, I am done, sort of, at last, with this Paper project. Isabelle was actually able to help with putting down the grass, which needs mowing, and the placement of many of the bushes, which need trimming, her little fingers were extremely helpful in placing the foliage in the planters on the balconies. I was able to restrain myself from being too particular about the grass and bushes.



The mailman, sorry it is a man, not just a person has just delivered the mail. and watch out if you drive by, those joggers do not have reflective shoes

Some of the family are watching for the front runners for the marathon from one of the porches and the Mr. is getting ready to have the chauffeur take him to the airport, an important business meeting, has to support the electric bill for this house somehow.

Who is that lady on the driveway? I sure hope it is not the Avon calling,

And if you didn't notice way up on the top porch some guy has his binoculars, hoping he is looking for humming birds, where is the feeder anyway?
Must be too small to notice.

So, I did enjoy, to some degree this project, although it was frustrating at times, the directions were not clear on many issues, but being a man, who asks directions anyway? For this I had to, and then even asking directions, I was lost some of the time, just not clear, and it did not turn out as I had hoped it would, but it is paper, and working with paper glue, yuck! score, cut, fold, assembly and attach, over and over again. I sure wish Isabelle could have been more into this, but she is only 7 and me being 63, yuck! again! her attention span for such tiny detail is a trifle shorter then mine. Never the less, the people are her project and the grass, so here it is for your viewing pleasure.

That is made out of paper? Did you buy this or did someone else? Glad I got everyone back to blogging...I'm beginning to feel out of touch if I don't know what is going on in

Jason picked this up in DC for Isabelle some back back, it came in a sort of like paper back book 9x12 size with many pages or plates with anywhere from 4 to 8 parts on each plate, which had to be cut out with an xacto knife and scored for each fold. then glued
Yep, paper!
