No Wonder....Loom Bracelets

Last Sunday, Hermana Martha brought me a gift bracelet. It was made of some of the 1 billion loom bands we have as a gift from supporters back East, and is very pretty.

 It reminds me of spring with all the bright colors, and as I was looking at it, I realized I might be able to make more loom bracelets myself. Keep in mind that I do
not have a Wonder Loom machine. However, I could make a very simple bracelet by just folding the bands over each other. It took some time, and patience learning how to hold the bands to keep them bent, but I made this.

I have also made two more bracelets: one as a gift to a friend, and the other for the Fourth of July. I won't post a picture of the gift bracelet, as I do not want to give away what it looks like to the friend. She has not seen it yet. However, here is the Fourth of July bracelet:

So, if you want to make some cute bracelets for friends, all you need is the Loom bands, not the fancy machine and everything! ;) Thanks for inspiring me, Hermana Martha!

Also, don't put your hand on their heads. Pet them on their sides. Most importantly, if a dolphin offers you a fish, take it. It's a gift of friendship." This sign is posted on a beach called Monkey Mia in Australia. Every day

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a  poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.   The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost   Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with sn...
