Watercolor Craft!

What an exciting meeting this was! First, thank you to the Pink and Silver tables for providing breakfast. Next meeting on February 18th, the Yellow and Orange tables will be providing breakfast.

Some items that we discussed at the start of the meeting:

• During our next meeting, we will be creating Urgent Care Bags for People Places. These bags are given to children after they are suddenly removed from their home. They include comforting items like blankets and stuffed animals, as well as practical items like clothes and personal care items. The table leaders will be sending out sign ups for your tables. We will then assemble the bags at the next meeting (just like we did the shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child).
• Welcome back to Carin! We're so glad you could join us and we continue to pray that your baby girl comes home soon.

We had an inspiring testimony from Amy Vesser. Using her Wonder Woman skills, she was able to share with us about when her relationship with Jesus began, and the difference in trying to live according to the law, and there after, according to the will. Thank you so much Amy for sharing!

We ended with our awesome watercolor craft! Thank you again so much to Gina for sharing her skills with us. 

She showed us how to first paint basic triangles to get a feel for watercolors and then we graduated to painting a flower or flowers on a card. We definitely have some talented ladies in our group! Below you'll find information about the materials we used during our craft:

1. Canson Watercolor Paper (this is what we used when we painted our triangles) 
2. Strathmore 41-Pound Palette Paper (this is the palette paper we used for our paint)
3. Strathmore Watercolor 5x7 cards
4. Reeves Intro Set of Paints (from Michael's)

Hope to see everyone on the 18th!
