Here's paper mache Eleanor and her handler, Aubrey!
Aubs did all the mache work, the painting, the sewing, the designing, the hot gluing, the wig-work, the Good Will glasses purchase, the dental work... |
I've grown quite fond of Eleanor, too! |
Aubrey's pal Jasmine came over a few times and made paper mache Amelia Earhart. |
Here's Aubrey presenting Eleanor to the class -- well, actually, this is Eleanor presenting herself to the class and mentioning Aubrey briefly. |
Eleanor also pointed out that she was well aware that most people thought she was unattractive -- even her own mother -- but she learned early on that "to receive love, she must give love."
Some of the most impressive information was that Eleanor was First Lady of the United States for the 12 years her husband was in office, but after he died she stayed in the public eye and became even more influential as the US representative to the United Nations, where she headed the drafting of the world's first Human Rights Declaration.
What an amazing woman. I'm so glad Aubrey got to "meet" her!
*Dane got to "meet" George Washington last year if you want to check that out.

I remember an inspriational moment last December when Aubrey visited Eleanor in the snow. I think there was a good photo of that meeting.

Adorable puppets (and girls)!
Looks like the art and presentation took a lot of time.
That's something to be proud of!
Yes, Mike, that's when Aubrey first learned of her! That photo's in a blog post in late December, and it's so sweet. She actually brought it with her to her presentation. :)
Jennie and Karen -- yeah, this was a lot of hard work, and it turned out so great! Aubrey was really a trooper getting everything done and being self-motivated.

Aubrey:
What a great job. I hope I will be able to see Eleanor up close and hear her tell about herself when I next see you.
I admire Eleanor also!
Love, Mema
Aubrey,
What a treat to get your phone call recently telling us about your "Eleanor" book report and presentation.
Eleanor and George can hang out together.
Pictures do help to fill in a description. Eleanor's a cutie. And Amelia which ' ' made. Oops, forgot her name.
Lovingly,
Grammy Jan Jan
