His art work doesn’t alway turn out the way it should but as it is included in the large picture, he enjoys the fact his work ends up on the wall with the other residents.

During this session magic moment team started by sharing stories about her father and step father. Another carer then followed as well as the residents. We all felt proud of our fathers or father figures in our lives. While we coloured and did our cards we were made known of the different things our fathers liked or disliked. We may not be born on the same decade but everyone of us cherished all the memories of our fathers and our childhood. At the end of the session we not only made father days card we also honoured and celebrated our fathers. The session made some of us emotional as well.

Lynda always takes part in our creative mojo poster’s and anything else to do with art. Before doing our creative mojo posters Lynda would always stay in her bedroom and she would not socialize but now she has become more social and has brought about her a new confidence, which shines through especially when she takes part in Arts and crafts. Lynda is the first one to always say to me that she wants to take part in the art project, her favourite thing to paint is anything animal related.

Stan recalls a time when him and his mother were walking through Sunderland and they thought they saw a German bomber plane, he and his mother started running and tried to hide in a garden in Villette Road.

Warrior Park Care Home
This was a hard decision to make between Marjorie Liddle (who sadly we lost last week) and George Galloway. Both Marjorie and George enjoyed many of the ‘Creative Mojo’ art boxes and thoroughly deserve the recognition for ‘Most Motivated Resident’. No matter the theme weather it be a summer BBQ, Heroes and Heroines, or Easter bunnies. Both George and Marjorie worked their hardest to make the most beautiful piece they could. Always with a smile on their face and a true sense of pride. I’m proud to of created some amazing ‘Creative Mojo’ pieces with these two residents. They truly left their mark on the paper, and my heart. Beautiful people on the inside and the outside, let alone what they could create with some paint, cardboard and PVA glue. Well done for your Magical efforts!
