It is the night before Thanksgiving here at the Cash home. The house is clean, the pre-Thanksgiving prep for tomorrows dinner has been done, and now it is a time of relaxing, so we thought. One of the Cash family member is in the local Christmas play, The Christmas Carol, playing the role of Bob Cratchit. From what we understand, it is theater tradition for each cast member to bring little trinkets to give to each other as a gester of encouragement. The mom here had a brilliant idea. I thought since Colton is playing the role of Bob Cratchit, let us (family project) make little gold coins and engrace a little something on each of them. Each of them went from 12 to 20, and now the number has increased to 25 coins to be painted and engraved. I have already purchased 20 bags of chocolate gold coins to add to our "little gift." Our inspiring actor has been too busy with school, work, and rehersals to help with the family project. Here are a few photos to see how this process goes. The first step is to paint all the wooden nickles.
The next step is to engrave.
This is a slow process when one has to do twenty-five coins.The next step is for someone to color in what was "drilled" out.
Then we have the finished product of our great adventure.
If I remember I will show the absolute finished product of the bags that Colton will be handing out to all the cast members. We are looking forward to his great production. Hopefully I will be able to get a few pictures to post on the blog.
Until then...Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Good thing you lost your taxi driver job or you wouldn't have had time for this project. Looks like a lot of work!
