The Paper Hat
When placing a paper (newspaper hat) on in our house you must become someone
else. . .
Today, we are wearing the Obituary.
Kinda weird, but ok.
Sun hat coming next. . .

Shanty Town
What to do on day number 5 of the streak "best days of late winter", Some of the warmest days on a longer streak of warm sunshiny days.
I know, I know - lets build a shanty town!
What you need:
blankets, sheets, tarp
String
Scissors
trees, bushes or chairs
wind chimes, or bell of some kind or other
wind sock, kite or other wind blowing flag of one kind or another
What to do:
First decide where (preferably outside) is the best location for this new town.
Decide carefully, look for bushes or low trees - where, best, would a blanket, sheet or tarp best create the perfect dwelling.
Build your "fort". Now, we all know how to do this. Most of us have built a fort or two in our day. This is where string may come in handy. Use string to secure the walls of the dwelling or use it to make a line to one tree to another then lay a sheet over line to make a sweet little tent. Pull out corners and secure to ground with rocks or tie off corners to trees . . . the possibilities are endless. Use scissors to cut string if needed.
Next, you'll need to construct at least one more dwelling nearby. It's always nice to have neighbors.

Finally, you need to raise the town flag and place your bell or wind chimes near your dwelling door (how else can neighbors alert you of their arrival).
There your Shanty town is complete - time to move in : )

Sprinkle the salt glitter over the glue.
Keep a pan or bowl handy to catch the extra glitter.
Fold the paper in half and make a pretty card or keep it full size for pretty refrigerator art. It's pretty enough to frame and hang on the wall too : )
. . .of course you will need to let it dry first.
What fun!
