Christmas in July!



My ward has the best craft group I've ever been to.  This past craft was a Christmas in July theme there was quite a few things to choose from but I knew better than to do to many. As it was I still brought one home and haven't finished it but I know I will.  These two I did finish AND I was super lucky because my sister in law Nichole was visiting and she came with me too.  She also said I had the BEST craft group.  They rock! When you get there they have everything already printed, grouped and set up so you can right to work.  Are these ladies not awesome or what.  We got to work right away and it still took us a long time but I Have to say I LOVE what we did.  The first one is a Christmas tree made out of paper that we rolled on a dowel then hot glued to heavy paper. Matched some super cute buttons and then I am going to put it in a frame once I get the right one.
The second one is a star wreath also made out of paper but made 3D. It was so cool and not hard because of the super awesome Meagan! She scored ALL the stars before we got there so all we had to do was fold them in the right places. Which you wouldn't think would take super long but oh yes it does!
The third project is a manger scene puzzle. I still have to cut all the pieces out and than laminate. I wasn't in a rush for that one since I have a laminator BUT I should get going so it doesn't turn up missing.
Thank you for coming Nichole I had so much fun and Meagan for doing all that work AND making frozen hot chocolate!!!!!!!!

Message me on facebook or something and explain on how this craft group works. Is one person in charge? Is it sponsored by your RS? Are there sign ups? How do they know how many to prep? Who does the prep? How do you work out the cost? etc etc etc....
