January 11, 2022
Congratulations ladies for making the January Arts and Crafts Club Competition a great success!
Our entries were fewer in number this year for multiple reasons which we all have experienced and understand. The creations that were entered were Fantastic! We will be well represented at the District 13 judging with our first-place winners.
Our club is so fortunate to have such talented ladies among us. I am always impressed with the creative ideas expressed in paint, paper, clay, wool, beads and all the other mediums you come up with. Enjoyed getting to share a little bit about my Scottish heritage and some of the items my family have created over the years.
A big Thank You to all the helping hands coming together making our craft day event such a success. I couldn’t have done it without the support of Cece and Michelle. Any issue or question I had they were there with a solution.
Our guest speaker Nigel MacDonald was entertaining and informative in his talk about Scotland and its music. I loved his kilt! Nigel’s bagpipe playing was great and fun to listen too. The kids on the playground got a kick out of it also! The expression on their little faces was priceless when he started to play.
Honey Baked Ham did a great job with our box lunch. They are always so easy to work with and always provide everything we need including ice!
Now on to the importance part of the day!
