My family is full of creative people who are fun to be with so what better way to spend a fall afternoon than with them, creating fun and interesting crafts.
We all met up on October 13th. We didn't really know what each other wanted to create so finding that out was just as much fun as seeing the finished product at the end of the day. As each person filed in, we found out what craft they were planning to make and looked through the supplies they brought.
Allison and Jen got to work right away, sifting through the supplies each one brought and sharing stuff each other could use. Allison decided she would make some Christmas tree trim from beads and bells and stuff she's had around a while. Jen pre-painted two canvases and she will apply cut paper in a cool flower design.
Liz has a canvas that she is taping off to paint a modern design in multiple colors.
Rosie is going to make some jet packs for the kids to use at her school. They're gonna love them, Rosie!
Jill is taping off votive cups and will glue glitter to the rims for festive everyday decorating at home.
Sarah will cover 3 pails with black & white fabric. She's going to use them for storage and put them on the yellow etagere she inherited from Grammy. Jan is going to fold festive paper into envelopes.
Jill's cute glittery votive candle holders, underway.

She can hardly contain her joy, as you see above!
The award winners!!
The Grand Supreme Champion has to return the trophy at the next Pinterest Family Craft Event. Maybe she'll win again, maybe she won't. The trophy will be in possession of the winning crafter until the next Pinterest Craft Party.
In the meantime, happy pinning and planning for the next party!
