One of our talented members, Angie Fairbanks wrote a poem for the 2016-2017 State President, Jill Richards.   It was read to Jill at the Kansas State Council Convention in Wichita.  We want to share it and hope you enjoy it as much as our President appreciated it.   It is called:  "Reflections"


Reflections by Angie Fairbanks
 
As I swim below the surface, I see the reflections of my life.
I can't say that it's been easy, there's been quite a bit of strife.
But I wouldn't want to have it any other pawsible way.
It's only because of the hardships that I am who I am today.
We do great works here, to help anyone in need.
It's hard to believe that one day the one who needed help, was me.
But I've met many friends here, and for that I will never be sorry.
From Spongebob to Nemo and even absent-minded Dory.
My kids are all grown up now, and they each have kids of their own.
Oh how I love my ocean, the place that we all call home.
Sometimes we may flounder, and we might just lose our knack.
But I am so grateful that someone made a difference, and decided to throw me back.

 Association of the Arts are ready to celebrate your talents this year. We hope you will feel free to send photos of your art work or samples so we can feature them on our site space. After the August board meeting we will be posting our plans for the year and hope that you will get involved in the "arts" with us.

Fast becoming a lost art, Charlene Hansen displays her hardanger stitch work.   It is a small fine stitch which is absolute beautiful when finished.  Charlene is always an award winner in our Association of the Arts at convention.

Using our art talent to preserve family history: Rachel Livermore put some precious memories together that belonged to her grandmother, her sister, their mother and their grandmother. Her great aunt and great great grandmother did the tatting & hand embroidery on their handkerchiefs. This combines the talents of Rachel's family members with her ability to mount them under glass to preserve them for the family.

Joy Thornbrugh has an outstanding quilting talent along with many other ESA members.
