The Beaver Pond Tray © Cobble Hill Puzzle Company
I spent all day yesterday filling out the grant application for the Martinez Community Foundation and now I’m practically in a beaver festival mood. We are asking them to pay for the beaver tail art project that children enjoy so much they ask for it every year. Wish us luck! In the mean time, wouldn’t this be a fabulous addition to the silent auction? It’s a 35 piece children’s puzzle made by the Cobble Hill Company which is owned by Outset Media in British Columbia. The artist really captured the biodiversity of a beaver pond very well. And I love the detail. I’m off to write the most compelling letter I can muster and hope for the best.
(When I was a child I was a campfire girl, so every February we were forced to sell mints. I hated asking friends and strangers to buy them. I hated the mints and everything about them with a fiery passion. I dreaded the entire month. I often worried about the event so much that I came down with strep throat very badly and wasn’t allowed to sell them at all. I was so shy when I finally made it to the door that sometimes I’d ring the doorbell and then say nothing.)
Funny how things change.
