Time: 12:30 to 10:00pm
Cost: $5:00 Please bring a dish to share

Our room is located in the back of the church property. The door is located between the dumpster and the playground. I plan on making a sign this time….but you know what they say about best laid plans!

Please RSVP here and indicate what you will be brining. If you are unsure of the exact dish, please just post the dish category such as dessert, salad, meat, snack, etc. Posting on the blog by 8:00 am Saturday morning will insure that your name be placed in a raffle for a prize. Not sure what that will be yet, but you’ll probably want the chance to win it!

Class:

As always, classes are voluntary. Our class will be to make this Halloween Decor project. I hope to start this at about 2:00 as we need to paint our letters and let them dry. You will need to bring your own letters. I found these pressboard letters at Hobby Lobby for about $1.99 each. You could also make your own using several layers of chipboard or cereal boxes for each letter. Cut them out using your Cricut or other die cutting machine, and glue a stack of each letter until you get the desired dimension. If you are not a fan of Halloween, you can decorate any letters you want (think initials, or an inspirational or seasonal word). Halloween papers and black paint will be provided but if you want to do something non Halloween, you will need to bring your own paint and paper.

Prizes:

Maggie always has some sort of prize or prizes. This month we will be having a drawing for anyone who uses the blog to RSVP and post their dish. There will be another drawing for anyone who brings a new member to the crop.
