Jess and her new bench

Every year, at the kid's school, an "Art Auction" is held where upper grade classes sell some amazing creations that they work on for part of the year. The principle is very simple: take something (usually furniture) from your home that is no longer desirable and recreate it into a masterpiece of art to be sold at auction. The proceeds help to benefit the school (this year they raised over $4600).

So, this is Jessamyn's "Fancy Nancy" chair (named after a favorite book series of hers). She opted to dress up for this one so we could take some fun pictures of her and her new chair.
