Happy (Belated Valentine's Day, Happy 1 Year Home


Happy Valentine's Day!
 
Today marks the ONE YEAR anniversary of Claudia's homecoming.  It has been an amazing year with so many changes, ups and downs.  It has been full of learning experiences, trials and errors.  I can't wait to see what the next year brings us and I can't wait to be celebrating our homecoming of Chance.

These next two pics were taken yesterday:
 


 
These three were taken shortly after Claudia came home:
 


 
Love her!

New Fund Raiser

Hi everyone, I have a unique way that we are now fundraising for Chance's adoption.  I have started making colored rice!  What is colored rice?  What can it be used for?  Well...

Colored rice is simply rice that is hand dyed by me.  It is edible, I do not use any non-edible product to create it but if you have children who put things in their mouths I would suggest strict supervision, especially if they have a sensitivity to dyes.  As with anything else with small parts, keep a close eye on small children who are playing with it.

My colored rice can be used for many different things.  It can be used in sensory bins for hours for fun.  It can also be used in the place of sand/glitter for art projects, just add glue to paper and sprinkle the rice onto it, much easier clean up than sand or glitter!  It can also be used as a decoration in glass jars or sprinkled on tables (please do not sprinkle or throw it outside where animals and birds can get to it).  Color coordinate for weddings, graduations or other parties.  Use it in your business to hold pens...  I am sure you can think of other ideas as well.

I can make your rice to order.  I am selling it for $5/lb plus shipping.  You can choose one color per pound, multiple colors (mixed) or a mix of several colors. To order, click the tab at the top of the blog (under the blog picture) or use this link: http://followingourcallingdaily.blogspot.com/p/dyed-rice-and-more.html

Below are some examples of colors I have made:
