Mod Podge Rocks, I have actually come across your blog before and thought “how cool!”

Carrie, I bought the luggage tags. I keep them on hand for crafting and you can find them at office supply stores. They are so much fun! We chose people in the time frame of Charles Russel, except Lewis, Clark, and Sacagawea. They were a bit early, but were chosen due to their importance in westward exploration. We also tried to pick mostly positive characters.

Jeanne, I’ve been thinking about you and meaning to pop in and see how you are! We love doll house making. It ties in nicely with so many things and builds relationships.

Thanks for the link, Waynely.

Heather, thanks! It was a lovely day and the tags were so much fun! It’ll be nice review for Michaela to have a set on hand.

Thanks for sharing what looked like a fabulous co-op day!

I just love the idea of the homemade dolls houses. We are reading through the Little House Books in the early AO years, and they would lend themselves very well to making models of this type. I’ll post pics if we ever get one completed!

I LOVE it…and may try to re-create it…but did you MAKE the luggege tags…and if so, how did you choose the people…was it random or you just kept going until you had one for everyone?
SOunds like a very fun day!

Amber, I didn’t see your comment at first because it was held for moderation, but Diane had the same question which I answered below. Thank you!

Marqueta! We did have fun that day, but I always have fun with this group. There are a couple of other trips with this group that I need to post about and get caught up!

Ken, thanks! We plan to learn more about Charles Russell. We have a set of books about the wild west, so Michaela and I went through and looked at the art in there done by CMR. The detail was magnificent. I’ll have to look into the mural you speak of. That’s very nice that John Sterling used to read you those books.

Diane, I consider that quite a compliment from you. From what I understand, there is a book called Gospel in the Stars. My friend has studied it and included it in her portion of exercises for the day. While I know we are not to be taken up with zodiac signs, it would not surprise me one bit for the gospel to be written in the stars. I have not read the book and have really not had much time to look into this idea further, but from a quick search I know there’s a lot of info out there about the idea. At any rate, we enjoyed learning about it.
