Kristi was our workshop leader today at Clearfork, and she taught the girls to make ocean bottles.
The stones on the bottom represent our burdens that we are releasing. The smaller beads represent those small irritations. And the cork represents us learning to rise above.
Such a powerful lesson!

So fun! Our girls have some amazing goals they’re striving for
and we want to encourage them every step of the way.
From mental health goals, physical goals, career and family goals,
each girl had something different.
We love seeing these girls sincerely reflecting

Black Paper
Crayola Fluorescent Tempera Paint
Construction Paper
Glue Stick
Scissors
Recommended Kitchen Utensils:
Potato Masher
Spoon
Fork
Large Slotted Spoon
Large Spatula
Plastic Bottle Recorker
Procedure
I recommend black paper as a background for this project as it is unexpected
and will showcase the vibrant fluorescent paint colors.
Gather the kitchen utensils and dip them in paint to stamp the petals of each flower onto the black paper.
Stamp the center of the flower as well.
Try combining and experimenting with different tools. Make sure to also paint a stem
Draw and cut different style leaves for each flower. Glue them to the stem of each flower.

Plastic Egg to Planter DIY
Materials
Plastic eggs
Gesso surface prep
Acrylic craft paints
Paintbrushes
Wooden skewers
Vase/tall containers
Craft varnish
Hot glue
Soil
Flowers/succulents (real or fake)
Procedure
Skewer your egg
Before you begin painting, push a wooden skewer into one of the holes in the egg.
This will prevent you from having to touch your egg when you’re painting it,
and it will allow you to stand your eggs up in a vase while they dry.
Prime your egg
Give your egg a coat of Gesso (primer) to ensure the paint will stick to the plastic.
Allow to dry before painting and decorating your egg.
A hairdryer is handy if you want to speed things up or you can do this the night before.
If at all possible, try to stay away from the line where the two egg pieces meet.
This will keep them from sealing shut and will be easier if you are making planters.
Paint your egg
With a paintbrush, apply a layer of acrylic craft paint.
If your egg requires 2 coats, allow the first coat to dry before applying the second
Decorate your egg
With a fine liner brush, decorate your egg with squiggles and zigzags.
For perfectly round dots, use the handle end of a paintbrush dipped in paint.
Place the skewered egg in a vase or tall container and allow to dry before varnishing (the hair dryer can help here too).
Varnish your egg
When your egg is completely dry, brush on a coat of craft varnish
to add a glossy sheen to your egg and to protect the paint from chipping and scratching.
To Make the Planters:
When eggs dry, hot glue the side together (both sides facing out)
Fill the larger egg piece with soil and flowers or succulents.

We were not able to meet in December as the campus were gifted tickets for an outing. How exciting for them.

December Update:
What a beautiful Chicktime Christmas Party we had this month!
We got enough donations from our community to be able to give each youth 2 presents and did a white elephant system to give them to the kids. The courage cords were special gifts from Chicktime Charleston Park Circle Co-Leader, Beth . They say things like “you got this girl”, “I can, I will, watch me”, and “ I’ve got this”. The boys bands were simple leather bands. It was fun and full of love. It’s so humbling that the kids are waiting for us to arrive!
God knew our chapter needed to be here.
Join us in January. Come love where you live!

Thankful! This is what all the girls relayed to us today. And this touched our hearts immensely! We had a huge turn out in volunteers and want to thank all of you for coming! Thank you to our workshop leaders, Rosaura Salinas and Veronica Garcia for the gratitude journals. They all did an amazing job and the girls starting writing in them too. This made my heart melt. The girls even got to shop with “Paper Thanksgiving Bucks” and “went to town!!!”
They were so grateful and loved all their jewelry. A huge thank you to Nathia Mata with “Misfit Mom’s” for donating 45 New pieces of Paparazzi Jewelry and Michelle Arsuaga (a former jewelry sales rep.) for donating so many new pieces as well! It was a group effort as we came together and we were able to collect several donations from our volunteers as well! It was definitely a hit and we have leftovers for the next event! Thank you H-E-B for supplying all the drinks and snacks too! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! #HEBHelpingHere
