Unfinished Objects: December 8: Holiday Style!

Do you have any UFOs in your house?

You know, Unfinished Objects!
Christmas crafts, crocheting, quilting - that scrapbook you started but never finished...or even putting together your Christmas cards!

It's more fun when you're not alone!
Bring your UFO and join other (crafty) gals the last Thursday of the month from 6:30-10pm. Make new friends and make progress on your UFO!

But what if I'm not crafty?
Come anyway! Address your Christmas cards, organize your photos, write a letter to a friend! Bring a project you've been wanting to work on, but haven't had time to finish with the kids around. Come see what we're working on and get inspired!

Next meeting is Thursday, December 8, 6:30-10pm in the Oak Room of the Campbell Church. Stay for the evening, or just stay for a little while! Refreshments provided.

Call 378-4900 for more information!

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 - 3.5 oz package butterscotch cook and serve pudding mix (not instant)
