More of Christmas Preparation Day.

Order forms are starting to roll in for Sat. Nov. 12.

We have decided to make it from 9am- 2pm. We will start classes at 9:30 am. Stay tuned for the classes. (I will be posting those soon).

We will have the crafts in the gym and have that going for the whole time and if you would like to catch a any or all of the classes then you can leave and go to those (not sure which room they will be in yet- maybe R.S. Room or room off of the kitchen).

Also there will be a lunch. Sis. Crook, who is on our R.S. Activities commitee has come up with an idea to make a pizza salad (come on, now you KNOW that got your attention-lol) Anyway, come and join us and bring your favorite Pizza topping.

We also added one more craft to the order form. That is the Washer necklaces. Here is a picture of them. They will be $2.50-$3.50.
(Note- this photo I took off of etsy, but it is pretty similar to what we will be making)
Make sure you sign up so that we can purchase the needed supplies.

Oh! And one last thing- I have been asked if it is okay to just bring gifts or crafts that you need to finish before Christmas. I say YES!!!! We would LOVE to have you come, no matter what you are working on. (Did I say, "LOVE?"- lol)
