NOVEMBER 2020 THEME - Put on a Happy Face

[Bev Jeffery]

Welcome to our November theme 

Put on a Happy Face.

This month was going to be hosted by our dear friend, Anne Powell. Sadly, Anne passed away suddenly, in March.

Looking through her photos has sure put a smile on my dial. I have included some of her fun faces in the picture squares below. They are the little pink pig and the yellow/red and blue/blue variegated smiley faces.

Faces of all kinds are so engaging and just looking at them can put a smile on our own.

Squares featuring animal faces

    

     

 

    

    

    

Fun Emojis....

  

     

    

And all manner of fun faces

   

 

If picture squares are not your thing, please consider making striped or single colour  squares in colours that will have you putting on a happy face.

And for your toe tapping pleasure...

Like Marion, I have been all week trying to get these sewn on.

Thought I would finish up with a song from the king......

Such cute little faces Bev.

No problems guessing this one! Those were the days when Elvis was still gorgeous.

Sigh...yes. Sadly they all got a little older, just like the rest of us...and like some of us, age and lifestyle did not treat them kindly.

THANK YOU so much to everyone who shared their creations, had a chat or just popped in to see what we were up to...it was FUN!!  xo

[Sharon B]

Thank you so much, Bev.   It was a great month (even though I was mostly absent as it went along).

You finished strong, with 6 lovable teddy bears ... definitely cuddle-worthy.

All these frogs reminded me of this rhyme from when my children were young:

Sooo worth the wait, Marion!! I am grinning from ear to ear...they are just SO delightful.  :))

Thanks for the link, Patricia. I used to do this as an activity with felt (and sing) when in childcare. My granddaughter seems to have a love for frogs and although I have been singing this to her, this animation is sooo cute, I know she'll love it!!

I used to run a Music & Movement group when my daughter was pre-school age and I got familiar with a number of these types of songs. Don't you just wish we could share the videos with the children in S.A.?

[Bev Jeffery]

Definitely!!
