"He who receiveth all things with thankfulness," the Lord has promised, "shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more" (D&C 78:19)

Arts and Crafts

The Petty's (and friends of Petty's) getting their craft on!

A portrait rendering of NQ in colored pencil done by Judy Pace




NQ in the Dough! He plays for hours using a rolling pin, toothpicks, forks, spoons and best of all his squishing strength to enjoy this new craft. He loves it when mommy makes dinosaurs and fishy sculptures for him.






NQ's Water colors. Another in the list of Nathans talents. He's a fan of blue and green water color paint choices. He enjoys making "slides."
My turn at Art's and Crafts as I make Lori's 50th Birthday cake. Here are the 5o flowers representing 50 years. (I went for a monochromatic scheme. It appealed to me.)
Decades (a half a century) of flowers wrapped around the cake in turn.


Daddy being "crafty" when he parked his 4-wheeler on our front step. NQ loved the idea. Hey, at least it won't get rained on!

What fun arts and crafts!
The cake is gorgeous! I wish you were my neighbor and I can just hire you to make all of our b-day cakes!
