The MANTEL PROJECT

DONE!!  It seems lately, if I get a “PROJECT” done, it is nothing short of a miracle.  I had the 1st part of this project done, but I had the idea after my pictures were done, to do individual blocks for each child, and those, for some reason, took me awhile.  So months after I announce my MANTEL PROJECT, it is done.  I got the idea to do this A LONG TIME AGO!!  I read an article somewhere about color properties, relating to how you can use the color meaning in your scrapbooking.  Well, I thought it would be great to research the color properties of the main colors ROYGBIV and see how they apply to each one of my children.  Lo and behold, I have 7 children, the perfect number to ROYGBIV them.  So, now on my mantel, the kids are in ROYGBIV order instead of age.  This bothers the children who are my LEFT BRAINED thinkers. but my RIGHT BRAIN thinkers, totally get it!  So here is the MANTEL PROJECT, in R-O-Y-G-B-I-V order!!!  I am also listing the COLOR properties that go along/describe that child.
