Ceating Abstract Art Denise demonstrates the art of creating art from cut- outs. Use this method to create fun pieces from scratch or to enhance an existing picture.

Recycled... Here Chima shows Courtney how to create a one-of-a-kind vase from recycled material around the house. She is using discarded bottles, glue, magazine cutouts as her primary material.

Dutch Auction You can see how much Lilieth is enjoying her Dutch Auction game. This was all her idea and execution. The item auctioned was a bottle of wine. I hope I am not taking tales out of school if I tell you that we made, for our accounts, three times as much as she spent on the bottle of wine.

composting Composting is the process of recycling organic matter such as food scraps and leaves into a valuable fertilizer that can enrich soil and plants. It is an aerobic method of decomposing organic solid wastes into a humus-like material known as compost which is rich in nutrients and beneficial for plants. [source: bing.com]

Returning to the soil our organic waste is all about taking care to have healthy soils in our environment.(See pictures depicting the process)

We close with prayer Dr Joseph Lindsay leading a conversation on Composting
