To show our thanks for the great response that our classes have been getting, we held a Wine & Cheese Craft Party Open House this past Wednesday! Despite the heavy rain and crappy weather, we had a great turnout and lots of fun!
This free event was also a fundraiser for Eliana Maria Stapp. Eliana is an 11 month old little girl who was born with Tetrology of Falot a group of 4 heart defects complicated with 2 other heart defects. Her talented mother, Astrid, played the harp for our event. She showed us her strength and wonderful spirit as she told us about her amazing daughter.
The theme of the evening was "wine charms". We had three of our popular instructors teach their own techniques to create a wine charm. Anne Quinlan showed collage techniques using chipboard, papers, and markers. 
Chrissy Gemmill taught a metal stamping technique and incorporated beads.
Shrink art was used to create the wine charms that Courtney Prahl showed us how to make.

In between our crafting there was lots of eating, drinking and socializing! Here is Courtney with Margaret and Astrid. 
Even I got a chance to take a break from my picture taking to have a fun time with Christina!
