Appropriately enough, it was Rudolph Day (the 25th) when the Christmas Club gathered for its February meeting. Susan, Carrie, and I gathered around Susan's dining room table specifically to work on making gift tags out of our used Christmas cards. I think that Carrie and Susan were working with last year's cards, while mine were a much older batch. We shared a tag punch, templates, hole punches and so on -- passing them around by means of the "lazy Susan" that's built into the round table. Very handy!
Susan served us some lovely holiday tea in Christmas teacups and with the festive napkins above alongside. (I snatched up my napkin as I left, so that I would have something to illustrate this post!)
I didn't take time to scan my completed tags, so will share some from a previous year. I think I completed maybe 8 or so at the meeting.
For next month, Carrie is planning to print out a December calendar for each of us. We will use these to begin planning for some Christmas events. Sounds like fun, and it will be good to have some things pre-planned. Then, closer to the time, as other events come along, we can fill those in.
Hope your Rudolph Day included some festive fun also!
Such a great idea to do something each month. I do start on my grands cross stitched ornaments but that is about all I do. I need to follow your example.
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas Club meetings! They're so fun to read about. I can just picture you girls gathered around the table crafting and planning your next meeting. Your tags are lovely.
