WHITE HOUSE: I saw this posted on Facebook labeled as a photo from when Obama supposedly demolished part of the White House to put in an indoor basketball court at taxpayers’ expense.
Fact Check 1: The photo is actually from 1934 when FDR had the West Wing enlarged, because his staff had outgrown the original space, which had been built in 1902 by Theodore Roosevelt and funded by taxpayers.
Fact Check 2: Obama did not have an indoor basketball court built; he merely had the existing, outdoor tennis court converted. The court had been put in by Theodore Roosevelt, also in 1902. Unlike the West Wing renovation, it was funded by private donations from his friends and supporters.
GRAMMY NOTES: Forgive me for tooting my own horn here. But I am just so pleased with how this card I made for Mama Buzz’s birthday turned out! She loves frogs and collects stamps, so I looked up where red-eyed tree frogs live and what they eat, then I went shopping for a stamp that matched and found one on Etsy. 🙂 The tree branch is brown packing paper that I layered with wheat paste. The paste is very wet, which makes the paper swell. When it dries, it shrinks back with wrinkles that look just like tree bark. I painted it a nice brown that went well with my frog and those leaves (which I bought), then cut out the shape I wanted and glued it all together. Oh, I also put colored pencil under the frog to match the quilling. ❤
