Interior Decorating Class
Jennifer and Jaimee recently took a two week interior decorating class at the Dallas Ministry Center. They had classes on interior decorating principles; special outings to reinforce instruction; and “hands on” sessions throughout the two weeks for practical application. It was an enjoyable time of learning, sewing, sight-seeing, and making new friends.
In Southlake for an outing. Our class- Jaimee, Johanna, Kristin (instructor), Tiffany, Jennifer

The Dallas Ministry Ministry Center held a special Father-Daughter banquet while we were there. It was fun to help with the preparations.

After a long and hot day, Claudia brought us popsicles!
It was special to meet several from Quebec who were serving there for the summer. Elisa is a cheerful sweet girl, and is doing great learning English. We had just enjoyed a good laugh over her frequently-used phrase “I don’t know!”
Completed a cornice board!
Up late one night going through magazines. Each of us had to present a board with cut-outs and plans for a room. A fun job!
Blackouts, sheers, and cornice boards are done! Now to hang them…

Okay, you all look so very cute for being without airconditioning, and on the 6th floor of a building!! I am impressed.
