I am pretty happy with how my little craft project has been going for the last few days. It started out one way and came out completely different. The final product will be jars with a few rocks on the bottom and the rest soil. I will add seeds later in a little packet. The peal and stick stencils make it so easy for impatient people like myself who drink way too much coffee. Below is a picture of a few I am almost done with. I would be further along if it wasn’t for dishes laundry and family.

John Sexton IV’s retired parents spend two years assembling a book of John’s genealogy and present it to him on his fortieth birthday. But strangely missing from the old letters, official documents, and newspaper clippings, is information about John’s namesake, the first John Sexton.
