GreatFul Threads September meeting in pics

The September meeting was all about window/pet screening. Only Jackie Cory could make and show so many fun and useful ideas for it. Thanks Jackie for another meeting that made our brains come alive with creativity.

As usual October is the last GT for 2017. We stop due to the fact that Thanksgiving and Christmas fall so close to our 4th Thursday meeting day. It also gives us extra time to be in our studios creating great gifts. During the October meeting we will once again bring in simple gift giving ideas. Bring 10 kits to share OR bring an idea with 10 instruction sheets. For example last year  we had bookmark kits, cuff bracelet kits, Christmas card kits and microwave bowl koozy instruction sheets, to name just a few.

We will also have a table set up for anything you no longer want/need that someone else may have a use for. What a great way to clean out and make room for new art and crafting supplies. You just never know what you might go home with that you have been wanting to try just never got around to purchasing. Here's your chance...bring, share, take some with you and never open your wallet! Gift making never got easier than this! If you have any questions feel free to contact me or Jackie.
