Suggested Donation
Met with some of the nicest ladies today in order to make journals. The Friends of the Ten Sleep Library upcycle journals from old books as a fundraiser. We take donated, unwanted books, cut them apart, and save a few pages. Then we add assorted papers cut to size. We have boxes of donated scrapbooking…
Annual Harvest Dinner
I took three photos and planned to take more, plus I thought about doing a Facebook Live at some point. Nothing happened from the time I started except me talking into the microphone. No photos, no live video. Just drawing raffle ticket names and auctioneering. I am not an auctioneer. Thank goodness the bidders put…
Raffle Item
Time has flown and Ten Sleep’s annual Harvest Dinner will be back this weekend… ALREADY! After two years, we will be back fundraising for the library and ambulance once again. That also means the Friends of the Ten Sleep Library raffle is back as well. I’ll be donating some of my craft items along with…
In the Books
Snippets of my library trip… Washakie County Library system was well represented. A trip to the craft store is always on the agenda after the sessions. We had too much fun trying on costume ”hats”. This one is where we looked halfway respectable. Dining out is one of the best parts of going to the…
Laugh and Chat
Sometimes I can really embarrass myself. Wednesday morning, in preparation for a day at the library, I went over in my head some of my plans for the day. I knew Thursday and Friday would be the Wyoming Library Association’s meeting in Casper. I had laid out some wooden spoons to wood burn at the…
Tea Photos
I awoke to 3” of wet, wet snow and sideways wind. Not the finest of weather, but much better than Wyoming further east where 1-2 feet of snow has fallen and created many a tall drift. We’re grateful for the moisture and five miles down the road, the snow was simply rain… Tasha was outgoing,…
Tea and Tasha
The Ten Sleep Library will be hosting a ”Spot of Tea” and Silent Auction tomorrow, with special guest, author Tasha Alexander. Tasha Alexander is the author of the Lady Emily mystery series. Set in Victorian England of the 1890-1900’s, Tasha’s books also roam across the area, from Paris to Greece, Germany to Africa. My favorite…
Garden Tower Video
Here’s the video I made about my “After the Bell’s” garden tower. Over two days, the kids and I assembled, filled with dirt, and planted our tower. Of course, there’s been snow on the ground, so it hasn’t spent any time in the sunshine, but it is together… Our center compost tower has only a…
Ledger Art Class
It was all I wanted and more! Robert is a good teacher, leading us into the past and explaining the beginnings of ledger art, then sharing modern artists of the ledger art tradition. Before we knew it, we were working on our own artwork. Encouraging and positive, Robert led each of us on our own…
Ledger Art
While my accomplishments today involved my vacuum and cleaning rags, that simple repeated and temporary chore of cleaning…blech… I’m excited for tomorrow! The Ten Sleep Library has received a grant from Lifetime Arts for an art workshop for those aged 55 and older. Our artist of choice is Robert Martinez from Riverton. Known for his…
Silent Auction/Open House
It was a packed house. Over one hundred people attended the library’s Open House/Silent Auction, which for a town of just over 200, is pretty dog gone good. There was plenty of good food and wassail. Craig Johnson, New York Times best selling author of the Longmire Mystery Series, regaled us with his Christmas short…
