This was one of two windows that I just dropped off for a fundraiser for MORC called “Windows of Opportunity”. The event will take place at the MORC Clinton Township grounds on Saturday, Sept 12 from 10 am to 3 pm. A preview reception will be held Friday, Sept 11 from 6 to 8 pm on the grounds as well.
The windows came from houses that were tore down so it was kind of cool and kind of sad at the same time. I have no idea where either of mine came from.

The kids were each given a piece of mesh with the Stadium Star pattern underneath. They used a small amount of Weldbond and glued on their glass color selections.

I had taken a picture of each of the kids, had them approve them and then used mod podge to coat the pics and glue them under the 1 1/2" dia. clear glass nuggets. Then I attached two star pieces along with part of the dragon to each of three sides.

I had called the Home Depot in Lake Orion to ask if they would consider donating some of the supplies that we needed and the manager was more than happy to help so I went there on Saturday. When I arrived, the manager handed me off to one of the employees, Dave Wilkie, who he said was a carpenter. Dave took me around the store to find the wood and I told him that I was looking for mdf to make a box of 1/2" x 15" x 18". He took those measurements and cut the wood to size. He did such a great job cutting that when I assembled it at home I had no problems at all!! He also got me come corner molding for the trim and the paint and caulk to seal the inside of the box.

The school has a tree which is already in a planter that they are interested in putting inside the box. I wanted to make sure that if they overwatered the tree or something that the box wouldn't fall apart so I am sealing the inside of the box with a waterproof sealer and caulking the inside corners. The moulding will make the edges of the box safer in case the kids bump into it.
