So proud of my friend…

Jun 14, 2011

One of the neat­est raf­fles at Paper Cow­girl was the “Altered Velveeta Box” raf­fle. All the money raised for this raf­fle goes towards the Tina Wright Schol­ar­ship Fund. Tina was a friend of Cindy’s (Head Cow­girl) and sadly passed away from can­cer. Nearly $300.00 dol­lars was raised for this fund and it is awe­some that it helps keep Tina’s mem­ory alive. Tina loved art and being cre­ative so this schol­ar­ship helps keep her pas­sion going through young peo­ple in her home town.

A tro­phy was given for the most money raised and rib­bons were given out for the most votes. I am so proud of my friend Trisha. She won the tro­phy for most money raised AND got 4th place in most votes.

Trisha teaches really unique sol­der­ing classes at The Crafty Scrap­per. Her “Altered Velveeta Box” was incredible.

I love how she did the mosaic using old plates and then sol­dered a branch that held a tiny nest filled with glit­tered eggs.

I think the metal roof is so cute and love the scal­loped edge around the base. If you live in the area you really should try to take one of her classes if you want to learn to sol­der. They are a blast.

Hugs and Con­grats my friend!

    Lisa, loved tak­ing your class — already think­ing about mak­ing a Christ­mas ver­sion!
    BTW, I found “parch­ment” acrylic paint at JoAnn in Frisco — went in look­ing for the color we used, “light mocha” and couldn’t find that but they had “parchment”!
