Good "CRAFTERNOON"!

 
Lots of fun at our "CRAFTERNOON" yesterday. I enjoyed the company of 6 very sweet ladies. These gals were all sisters and 1 sister in law. They got together from the surrounding area to just spend time together. They were completely my style of gals! They wanted to have something to do  before they checked in to the hotel, that would be fun, and not challenging, so I offered to occupy a few hours of the afternoon. None of them are as nuts over a craft project as I am ( that is saying a mouthful). But I came up with some tried and true, easy projects for them and we had a lot of fun. We created an etched vase, then decorated it by adding ribbon and a stick pin, made a post-it note holder, the card I posted yesterday,card and sour cream treat holders!  All of them left very happy with their creations.... READY to come back for more!
 The Idea is not a new one for me. My sisters (I have 7 of them) and I did the very same thing the first weekend of February this year. We've always done the get together -go shopping, out to eat , spend the weekend in a hotel etc. This year we decided to do a camp-in at my home ... spend time together hashing over old times and remembering people we miss, look at old pictures and of course laugh   giggle, and cry like no one was watching. In the process we created some fun things .... I will show those another day!  So my  Crafternoons"  are going to be a my workshops from now on!
