Get your craft on

October 9, 2009

I know it’s a little early to be pondering the holidays. Heck, we haven’t even had Halloween yet. But in our house birthday season has begun which means it’s a slippery slope from birthdays into Halloween then a couple more birthdays then Thanksgiving then another birthday then Christmas and well, you can see that from October to December time takes on a whole new velocity. And my plans and calendar must be laid out in a very thoughtful and intentional manner.

With that in mind I’m putting a few Collective Craft nights on the calendar between now and Thanksgiving – because we all know how the best laid plans for making during that time of year can get pushed aside if not claimed and calendared. We’ll have a few nights of holiday card making using family photos as the base for some very creative collage fun. We’ll have a 2 part craft night making Advent calendars – counting down to whatever your family celebrates that time of year, be it Christmas, Solstice, Hannukah, Festivus, the New Year or whatever.

There’s also talk of a possible costume making craft night organized by a very amazing costume maker in town so stay tuned. And come back soon for dates and other important details. These craft nights have been super fun so far and I am really looking forward to hosting some more.
