January 2014

In late 2012 my good friend Bonnie decided that it was time to bring back this awesome idea of socializing. A group of us girls had just gone through a period of starting families and being so busy with our lives that we needed to have some girl time on a regular basis with no kids and no significant others. Thus creating our craft night. We decided to meet every month pick out a craft and attempt to complete it. We never knew what was going to come out of our attempts at crafts and had some successful projects and some not so successful projects.
I decided that we needed to honor our girls time together this year and each month I will post the craft we completed along with directions and the example. In addition I will also add our menu for the night as well.
