Happy Birthday Crafters Wanted!

It has been one year already. Way to go!

Thanks for all your support and participation. I look forward to another creative year with you!

One year ago, my friend mentioned to me the idea of holding a craft night. (thanks Ali) I thought it was a great idea and couldn't wait for the first one! Right away I sat down and came up with multiple ideas for all the different seasons. The hardest part for me was deciding which ones to use, there were so many to choose from.

The first craft night was a great success and I enjoyed sharing my ideas and helping others put them together. I continued to plan and hold one craft night per month. I enjoy it every time and love to visit with and get to know everyone who attends. I look forward to this next year and can't wait for the September craft night. I hope to see you all there!

Info coming soon.

Hooray! No Rain

I just want to thank everyone who came to this month's craft night. It actually turned out great. I was a little skeptical when, 20min before people arrived, the sky grew dark and the winds picked up. I was so worried, we (and I mean a few who were early) moved all the supplies that I set up outside--inside. Thank you for your help. The weather got better and we could have stayed outside, but I actually enjoyed having it both inside and out. Thank you all for working with the weather and being willing to be cramped inside the house. I hope you all enjoyed your crafting experience and your items!
