December Creative Fun Day Recap


We had a great Creative Fun Day this month.  Lots of different projects and lots of holiday spirit (and cookies, fudge etc.)   The Christmas tree was lit and Christmas songs played (at least for awhile when we remembered to restart the CD).   Here are some of the great projects created that day.  

Laura arrived first and although she didn't actually make this rose, she cut out lots and lots of petals from coffee filters to make these roses for her sister's upcoming wedding.  I look forward to seeing the finished results in the wedding photos.
 
 Caroline and Elizabeth made these really fun magnet note holders for Christmas gifts.
 Caroline also created these clever snowflakes.
Elizabeth also worked in the studio using different drawing / color mediums and came up with these two pictures.

Christy, Caroline and Laura had fun learning how to make these record bowls with selected albums.   
Cherith made some cards and some wrapping paper.  She used old paper bags and stamps to make this lovely recycled gift wrap.
 Here is a closer look at the upper piece of wrapping paper.
 We were so happy to have both Sarah and Leah join us while they were visiting.  It was so fun to catch up on their lives and to create with them again.  Sarah made these beautiful snowflakes.

 Leah painted these feather drawings with watercolors.   They will make wonderful gifts.

I was so busy helping and talking to everyone that I almost didn't get anything of my own done.  However, I did sit down and decorate these matchboxes which I am using as a Christmas gift. 
It was a great Creative Fun Day and the perfect way to end the first year of this experiment.  I am already looking forward to January's CFD and any new ideas we may have for making this day even more fun and creative.  :)

Hope to see you in January.   Happy New Year!
