Snowman Snowflakes...

These are the sweet snowman snowflake ornaments we made Saturday. Jan and I had already left by the time everyone was finished, but Marie sent pictures so we could see theirs, too.

I'm not sure whose is whose, but I can tell you we all added glitter and color to each one.

This one was mine. We all started with wooden snowflake forms and round slices of wood. We had choices of paint, markers, mod podge, glue, and glitter. Our imaginations took over from there.

Jan did a triple snowflake and attached them to each other with raffia.

I'm guessing these might be Kim's. She loves blues. Even when we use the same materials, they always look unique. Each of our personalities shows through, and I love that.

Back on my 6 am shift today. When I get home, there will be more interior moving. I'm sure sleeping well these nights!

October Craft Day...

Donna, Linda, Jan, Kim, Sara, Marie, and Adrienne

Well, this was a fun project!! We all made scarecrows this month (except for Linda K whose hands were bothering her). 

We all started with boards, a narrow trim piece to create the brim for his/her hat, papers, paints and other trim. 

I used a strip of birch bark for the top of my hat, and you just had to know there would be acorns!

Sisters

Jan used a pretty fall-themed napkin with pumpkins that she decoupaged to the top of her hat. We each painted the faces on our scarecrows, too.

We also made ornaments. If you look closely at Jan's and mine, you'll see ours hanging from the brims of our scarecrow's hats. I'll do another post with closeup photos tomorrow.

This will likely be our last craft day for the year. The Portage ladies have upcoming craft shows where they'll be vendors, and then there are the holidays to consider. Unless plans change, we'll be back at it in January, weather permitting, but I think this was a great project to finish out this year.
