I am a closet blogger. This is a place where I share musings from my day, things I wonder about, things I feel strongly about or things I just feel like talking about. Also, this is where I share new things I have created.

Happy Hatters Event



 

The Happy Hatter Social

What happens when you get together with a bunch of wonderful, fun women and direct them to a table filled with stuff?

 











 I wasn't quite sure
 how the ladies would respond to this part of our Social...
I pondered it a bit...
and we chatted as a committee...
and then decided we would give it a go.

 
So, on Wednesday morning
 I wandered around the house
 picking up this and that,
 I wandered into my sewing room
 and looked in all of my buckets,
 I picked up a bag full of tulle
 and stuff for hair bows,
 and grabbed the curling ribbon rack
then into the basement I went...
 

I looked into box after box
 and found a whole bunch of interesting stuff; feathers and pipe cleaners,
 beads and lace,
 lots and lots of ribbons;
 bits of flowers,
 parts for corsages;
 stuff left over from projects...
I also had purchased some colorful paper plates, pipe cleaners,
 and silly little party hats.


We covered a couple of tables
 and tossed all of this stuff
 into the center
 added a stapler,
 glue sticks,
 wet glue
 and hot glue...


Our lovely Day Care Providers





 Truly is amazing
 what can be
 created
 with
 a pile of stuff.


The sisters did this and that,
 some walked up,
 dug around a tiny bit
 and then walked away with a "hat".
 Others stared,
 some truly walked away with a "masterpiece", some had hats
 worthy of the derby.

 Definitely, a fun visit time activity.


We enjoyed a scrumptious dinner
Chicken salad croissants,
a delightful salad
 with walnuts, cranberries, and feta cheese,
the most refreshing fruit salad I have ever had, berries and grapes...yum.
And for dessert,
 all of our favorites...lemon cakes, creme puffs and brownie bites.


And of course,
 the required unbelievable
 collection of Chocolates.

We enjoyed some shared talents
 (thank you so very much)
Amazing displayed talents
 (and truly, what a selection of talent)
And a fantastic speaker.

Great evening.


Oh yes, 
I forgot 
and I went home
 with a few less boxes of stuff!

With a bit of string,
 some watered down glue,







One was enough for Hope, she didn't care for "sticky fingers"







 small water balloons
 and a broomstick










Hope and Kate





 we gathered 
for a very quick 
"project" 
for Easter.






Erica and Scarlet


   


Yarn Easter Eggs!





The stage 1 finished project


What I was in the middle of--Grandmama's Cheesecakes!




Thank you Scarlet
for figuring everything out 
ahead of time 
and so we had an "expert" 
to teach us.










Can't wait for tomorrow to see
how everything turns out!
