So be prepared for a much better space and to see where your donations have been put to good use for the last few years.
It's that most wonderful time of the year! 3 crafts - one night! Time for the preview. I'm so excited about the choices. Here you go:
Project #1: Mini Mitten Ornaments or Mini Mitten Garlands
Break out the felted wool! Trim possibilities galore - dig out your leftover scraps for embellishments.

Project #2 - Hidden Compartment Ornaments
Altered matchboxes are all the rage so why not make ornaments or stocking stuffers with hidden compartments? You thought last years' boxes were cool - just wait. Another chance to use up scraps of everything! Start collecting those miniatures and other ephemera if you need something particularly special.
These are all images of ideas and projects ripped from other artists on the internet to inspire us. When I get some done, I will post my creations :).
Project #3: Miniature Fresh Boxwood Topiary Trees
No pictures for this yet - you'll just have to use your imagination. I'll be trimming my boxwood hedge hard. If you have boxwood trimmings of your own you can donate - please let me know.
Also if you have floral wholesale status, I could use some help getting discounted oasis.
What to bring:
- your own paper cutting scissors and wool felt cutting scissors (if you have different scissors for different things otherwise just bring one good sharp pair)
- bits of trim, beads, miniatures, buttons, yarn, images and other ephemera for decorating mittens and using on matchbox ornaments
- tweezers and manicuring scissors or other tools for working with really small stuff on the matchbox ornaments.
- some sort of large sturdy shoe box or copier box lid to keep your stuff together
- If you want a large matchbox, you will have to bring it. I will have available the standard size small ones for wooden matches.
