JOIN US DECEMBER 10

We will be gathering again Friday, December 10 to make Christmas cards. This will be our last event this year, and our last opportunity to raise funds that will be matched by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

We will be making Christmas cards all evening. You will have your normal 5 make-n-take cards which you receive with your $10 participation fee which goes directly to our mission fund. Additional cards can be made for $1 each. You can also purchase envelopes ~ 10 for $1; 25 for $2; or 50 for $4.

We hope to see many of you December 10. Our regular group of crafters will each be bringing a favorite holiday snack or treat. You are welcome to bring yours for our tasting pleasure but it is not required.

Merry Christmas & God's blessings to all.

IT'S CARD MAKING TIME

Hello everyone. We hope that the back to school has gone smoothly for you all. This Friday, August 27 is our next card making event. Deonna and Cindy had a wonderful time at the Craft & Hobby Association convention in Rosemont, Il. We learned some new crafts we hope to be sharing with you soon. We saw lots of new products that will be released this fall, made some amazing make & take projects. Join us this Friday for a fun-filled night. We might be getting a head start on Christmas cards, making fall cards or making some unique creations. We hope to see you!

No July Cardmaking

Hello Everyone. What a busy month July is. We will not be having card making this month. We had only one friend who could make it this month.

Mark you calendar for Friday, August 27th. That will be our next card making night from 6-9 pm. We will be making the beaded pens next month.

Have a great week. VBS is coming up for us next week, and Friday, July 23 starts the Putnam County Fair. Good luck to all of the participants who have projects or animals for the fair.

Some Cards

This is my attempt to post more often. I had purchased a couple packs of paper a long time ago with pieces already cut for card making. I pulled them out last weekend and began by gluing the pieces on. The stamping was the last step. Here are my quick creations.

Join us Friday, July 16 from 6:00-9:00pm for our next card making event.

Have a blessed day!

Our New Card Rack

We are so excited to have acquired a card rack to make it easier for people to purchase the cards made with love. Selling the cards provides us a way to purchase products for our card making events. Thank you to everyone for your support.

About Us

We are a great group of women who gather at Peace Lutheran Church in Greencastle, IN each month. Our purpose is to enjoy some great fellowship, create some really fun and amazing items and raise funds for our mission work for our Lutheran Women's Missionary League.

We created this post to get the word out about an exciting event happening in February, in addition to our monthly workshops.

Participants at our monthly workshops pay $10 which goes directly to our mission fund. The exciting part is that everything you make you take home with you. We support tuition assistance for a seminary student, back-to-school backpacks filled with school supplies for families in need, curriculum supplies for our Jesus time sharing bible stories with students at our school and other mission needs that arise throughout the year.

Our next monthly workshop is Friday, Jan. 22 from 6:00-9:00 pm.

We will attempt to post our flyer for the Crop for the Cure next.
