Crafting Class #1 - Fall Lanterns!

 Woke up this morning to a day perfect for crafting! This project involved being both in and out of doors so I was praying for good weather and God provided. Today's project was "green" in nature. Instead of throwing away cans and jars we re-purposed them and created lanterns for a table scape, to hang over a patio table or use it where ever you like!
So the cans are frozen and ready to put holes in ....

   

The caddy is stuffed with a great selection of decorative fillers ...

All the jars are washed ....  
Samples,  baskets of spiders and berries ...

Fresh out of the oven homemade boysenberry scones ...
Everyone is busy pounding holes into their frozen cans! Perfect day to sit on the patio.

Barb is spelling out BOO on her can ..

Progress, the jar lanterns are coming along nicely, full of warm autumn colors.

Ta Da! Look at all those beautiful cans and jars, doesn't it just put you in the mood for fall! 
We had such a fun time. I prepared a lunch of chicken salad served on croissants with fresh cantaloupe and peanut butter cookies. Each  meal was served in a Small Longaberger Pie Plate. And as a gift to my crafters they got to take their pie plate home!
Future classes ... September is "Paint Your Own Fruit" And October we will be preparing for Christmas by making an "Industrial Chic" Advent Calendar!
Thanks for stopping by...
