December Has Arrived!

Well, December has arrived, but we're still looking for snow.  Our first meeting of the month kicked off with a lesson in wallet-making, but not with leather or cloth.  No way!  That's old-school.  Our girls learned how to make their own money-jackets with something that found in Dad's (or Mom's) toolbox.  Can you guess?  Duct Tape!  That's right.  Good, old fashioned duct tape once again proves how useful it really is. Now if we could just come up with more uses for hot glue...


The girls had a great time and, unbelievably, the craft took up the ENTIRE meeting.  Our instructor told us that she can knock out a duct tape wallet in about five minutes (!!!) 

The girls took a vote on the holiday party, coming up on the 20th.  They decided that they wanted to come to the party in the pajamas, and that we'll have a Secret Santa.  The gift limit for the Secret Santa is $1.00.  Yup, that's right.  No more than a dollar.  So, let her get creative.  Stop by the Dollar Store or Five Below, or check out the $ .99 racks at places like Target, Joann's, AC Moore, etc.  Make sure they wrap it up really pretty!  Hey, just because it's a dollar doesn't mean it can't be cool.
