Poster Contest

Tori and Tina decided to enter a poster contest. The theme was anything to do with America, Liberty, the Constitution, etc. So here we go again in the campers working on crafts. After we took a trip to Hobby Lobby and getting my scrap booking supplies back from my friend, the girls were ready. They spent many, many hours this weekend in the camper taking turns at the only table for crafts we have.

Tori did her poster as a puzzle and each piece was something different. She had everything from the armed forces, Disney, picnic food, Washington monument, an eagle, a flag, vote button, holidays, sports, etc. It looked really great and she won 1st place in her age group.

Tina has just finished studying the constitution and she decided to do one on the 19th amendment. She did a voting booth and decided to put the presidential candidates that were on the ballot the first time women had the right to vote. She also took some buttons that we got from Hobby Lobby and made "campaign buttons" and put them on the side. She did an excellent job. She actually did so well that some of the people voting didn't believe that a 10 year old did the poster and so she didn't win a prize even though I have been told that hers was the best in her age group. She was extremely disappointed and there were tears. Tori decided to split her winnings ($100) with Tina. I told Tina that she really needs to understand that is just a compliment to her talents as an artist and to look at it in that positive way.
