Eight-year-old granddaughter Emmy jumped out of the car after traveling 600 miles to our home for 4th of July week, gave me a full-on hug, and announced that "when you come to visit, you bring projects for us to do, and when Auntie came to visit us, she brought us a project to do, so now *I* brought a project for
you and
Auntie to do!!!"
That she did. She brought the essential supplies, and she led the project.
Paper + shaving cream + food coloring + a ruler + plastic trays + wooden skewers = bookmarks : )

Must be lovely to have grandchildren who bring such beautiful projects to your house!
TOTALLY lovely! Emmy brought all the supplies and an abundant supply of enthusiasm, and she was a great teacher. I loved being the student, and now I've made myself several beautiful new bookmarks—and we all know I love handpainted bookmarks : )
So FUN! Like grandmother, like granddaughter. Love these glorious bookmarks!
Thanks, Jen. You and Emmy would have a ball together—you are both gals who live with an exclamation point always at hand.

What a creative granddaughter! Shaving cream and food coloring! What will they think of next! Marvelous!
Fun, yes? I don't know where she heard about the idea but I so love that she thought to share it with me and my sister. And I love the resulting bookmarks!
LOVE these Dotty, and all of the preparation and enthusiasm Emmy brought into them!
Oh my gosh, Emmy was so sweet and so enthusiastically owning the whole undertaking, and aren't the bookmarks beautiful? Glad you like them, too.
Absolutely love the colors!
Shaving cream? How fun! Cool how they turned out ;)
This was a delightfully accessible art project, offering quick and pleasing results, but one that I'm guessing could be revisited again and again and taken to all sorts of new places.
