Craft Exchanges

I put together a few craft exchanges with some friends this week. Due to the large number of people who wanted to take part, I ended up splitting the group up and taking part in 2 different groups, each with 10 or so people. This time, instead of exchanging all “Christmas themed” crafts, we chose to do a combination of all of the holidays. Everyone made a craft, (times 10) and brought them to exchange with each other. This allowed everyone to go home with 10 new decorations after the exchange. It felt like Christmas with all of the wrapped gifts/crafts under the tree.

Everyone also brought their favorite appetizer to share. Yummy!

Everyone made really cute stuff, I especially loved Kathy’s Valentine Advent calendar. I was assigned the holiday “Halloween” and made blocks that said Wicked, it’s gonna be a while until everyone can actually use them.

Less than a week later we did it all over again with a different group of friends. For this one I made chalkboards that said I’m thankful for… to be used during Thanksgiving. Once again, I went home with a ton of really cute stuff.
