I guess one doesn't realize how many wrinkles one has until they see a picture!
This was at the Guild meeting on Tuesday. I almost never remember to wear a nametag until I check in at the membership table and don't want to go back out to my car where there is a bag of nametags in the glovebox. But I remembered I have this nice Xmasy one, so I put my name in basket and it was pulled as the winner for a nice pack of 5" squares. I passed my phone to a friend to take the image.
I borrowed Jeanette's special hat for this picture. This would make a great addition to my hat collection. I could even wear it for Arbor Day! The "beads" are felted wool and came from Trader Joe's! Actually a tree garland but easily adapted to fine jewelry.
Instead of having a speaker this was a "give back" meeting. Members have been making quilted stockings which we fill with items for several different groups - Meals on Wheels, Orangewood Home for children, a veterans service, and others I can't remember. We have some super shoppers who love to shop, so non-shopping members (like me) give them money to shop for us.
Stuffed stockings go in boxes for each organization for delivery. We also give pillowcases and quilts to different groups. It is a huge operation and the members in charge have it well organized. It was a fun meeting with time to visit and get to know one another. Many members wore antlers and Santa hats and an amazing array of Xmas clothing.
And it is time for this blog to do Xmas cartoons........
