More painting stars today! We had one person who had to leave early and I missed getting her picture. This has been a fun workshop!

There was sumptuous food and we made succulent plants, the kind that live forever and don't need water! Everyone had a terrific time! Our workshops are so much fun and you get to make a nice project!

We came, we pounded, we made some beautiful things! Flower pounding is always a great workshop. Thanks to Kimberly Ann Campbell and Kimberly's Greenhouse for allowing us to pick the beautiful blooms!

Round 2 of the Beeswax Crafts Workshop! Participants made lip balm with beeswax, coconut oil and honey. They rolled beeswax candles and coated fabric with beeswax to make food wrap. It was a great time making all natural items with beeswax.
