A work in progress: Ada upcycler David Devier acquired two large 1940s garage doors without a plan for what to do with them. "They have 12 windows each, making them very interesting, he notes.
"When I brought them home, Mrs. Devier said that we could make an arbor wall for our patio.... I immediately knew that they would make a wonderful arbor wall and set to work to build them into a framed unit with a trellis-type top section." Some window panes were removed to allow vines to grow through the openings and reduce the wind load.
Bluffton art workshop leader Hannah Warwick transformed Pandora's Nook Cafe and Bakery with a playful, kid-friendly mural using a rainforest theme. Warwick notes that it took three days to create the bold, modern leaves on a background of blue, orange and yellow.

Recently, I returned from leading a Bluffton High School student trip to France, Monaco and Italy. This is the fifth trip on which I have been the lead teacher, but my sixth trip traveling overseas with students. And, often, my group of travelers includes parents or other adults who want to travel to Europe as well. This year, I appreciated the extra help from Vickie Garmon (BHS art teacher) as well as the parents on the trip. This was the largest group that has traveled with me, and these other adults helped to make this trip a success.
