Sept family craft night

Well after a summers absence our family has started up our family craft night. Saturday night we did mosaic flower pots. I plan to use mine in a fall vignette because of the copper in it. This was our smallest group - we usually have 6 or 7 and it is mass chaos but fun :) .....

    Those are really pretty...I like how you all came up with different
    ideas to decorate them...each unique.
    I also like how you each painted the rims with a different finish.
    I'd love to see them when they're all done and 'in action'!
    I remember last year you posted your Family Craft night.
    I was actually green with envy and thought how wonderful that a family enjoys
    getting together to do that. It was so nice to see.

    I also remember last year when you shared your family with us, and like Jane I was a lovely shade of green. Its so wonderful to see a family having special fun times like that.

    Janey needs to get the bus and we could all join you next time. Tho you might have to find a craft doing something with dishes for our many Dishnuts here. LOL.

    hugs, Karen

    I do feel truly blessed to finally have all my family so close by - it has been a dream forever. Not to sound too religious here but I firmly believe that God had his hand in all this. I was so pleased that our mother got to witness us all moved here before she passed away :)

    Our next project is going to be either mercury glass or the glitter pumpkins - we are doing some online research for best methods and something that can be done in one evening .....

    Thanks for sharing pics with us Lynne. Looks like you were all hard at work. Not sure which looked best, your neat decorated pot or that plate of goodies beside it! LOL

    Lynn..I was reading where you're looking to do a Mercury
    Glass project - Quick! Last year I was researhing how to do that, and came across a great YouTube 'how to' that seemed real quick and easy. I bookmarked it and I'm posting it here for you..it might be helpful.
    There are also a few others on the right that you might want to check out.
