December 2010 - Ornament swap, silent auction, and potluck!

Suzanne K.'s mice ornaments -- all tucked in for a long winter's nap!

We had a wonderful time with the ornament swap, silent auction, and potluck this month.  There were 10 members participating in the ornament swap with quite a diverse selection of ornaments!  Our silent auction brought in money for the guild, and hopefully we can have even more offerings in the future (you know you don't need ALL those polymer clay books and videos you have!).  Members had a great afternoon conversing with one another, sharing their polymer creations, and enjoying each other's culinary treats.

Upcoming demos for January and February:  Faux

(Sorry that I still don't know all the guild members' names! When I get the names, I will credit them in the photos!)

The following pictures, as well as the one at the top of this post, are from the ornament swap.

An assortment of colorful filigree and caned trees, cactus, and more!

Truly 3-dimensional snowflake ornaments by Barbara Watson!  Made out of thin stamped cut-outs and assembled together.  These lay flat, but open up when hanging.  

Cookie ornaments -- good enough to eat!

Suzanne's rein-bugs (not sure what she calls them, but that's what I call them!) -- such cute expressions!!

Happy Holidays everyone!  See you in January!!
