Joyce Gold & Friends ~ Houston, TX

Joyce F. Gold ~ Celebration Company ~ on facebook ~ Houston, TX
 
Recycled paper creates unconditional love.
I volunteer at a center for young adults with disabilities to help them create their top selling greeting cards.
They beat recycled paper from their shredded documents in a blender and then I come in with bottles of colored pulp and various craft foam shapes.
They place the shapes on freshly pulled paper and add color.
My challenge is offering them the right tools to succeed.
Smaller bottles (not pictured) for some seem to help a lot. For one individual who is visually impaired, I couch onto a dark stained pellon for contrast. 
The best part is that they don't care if I make mistakes and, of course, they never make mistakes.
I look forward to going every week and they seem to look forward to me coming.
My heart soars when I am with them.
