We all know Joyce loves papers. School papers, blue work papers specifically from me, and yellow school papers from Mandi. Folders to put her papers in were essential.
Well, as we sat down to name the tree after we had decided to dedicate the tree to Joyce. The girls asked me what Joyce was like and what did she like, what were her favorite things. I thought about how stubborn Joyce is. Okay that won't work how about how joyful, and playful. Then I named off the things she likes.
Paper was the first thing that came to mind, then movie stars, cowboys, and horses, dolls and barbies. The colors pink, and red accompanied by yellow and blue. No green, absolutely no green. Hmm, she loved to write her name over and over. She loved pretty cards too with the matching envelope. She really loves papers. All those folders and papers lined up in her room not one was crooked. And if you bumped one she would have to fix it. She had her favorite papers too. Man if you brought the right paper one week you were her favorite person for the next couple weeks!
We came to the conclusion that the name had to include paper. It brings joy to Joyce for some reason. We brainstormed for a while and finally came up with, "THE JOYCE OF PAPER" it just fits.
We are determined to incorporate paper as much as we can throughout the tree. ModgePodge, crepe paper flowers etc. Jody had an Idea to lay out reams of colorful paper underneath the tree. It will be fun. I will update with more ideas.
