Conversation Board


I'm excited about this conversation board that I made for Persephone's "room." My mother-in-law bought me the board and I painted it black, sanding down the edges to give it a distressed look. For the magnets I hot glued some painted knobs and some antique buttons onto magnetic disks. We've hung the board about Persy's changing table and I plan on using it to talk about different items in the collage and also to sign about the items. (I've been doing sign language with Persy for a couple of weeks and even though she can't sign back, she does focus on my hands.) The pictures are a mix of family photos, gospel pictures, and random items, (like a postcard of an elephant standing on his head.) I'll change them every couple of weeks so we have something new to look at and talk about.

This comment has nothing to do with this post, but I don't have your email address. I wanted to tell you that I'm in the middle of Reading The Creative Family too. What are the chances of that? I've been thinking of you and wondering what you do at the library and which library you work in and where you live in Sugarhouse because it seems like we should cross paths sooner or later.
