Super Saturday

As part of my responsibilities in our church, I help plan a yearly ladies' event called "Super Saturday." It's partly a craft event, where we all paint and sand and glue and modge podge to our hearts' content, it's partly a chance to take some how-to classes, it's partly a chance to eat yummy food and it's definitely partly just a chance to hang out together and chat. That's what we women do best, after all.

We decided to have a Christmas theme this year, which was great by me. Christmas music and decorations just made me happy. Hope nobody minded that we skipped right over Thanksgiving.And then there were the crafts.... Lots and lots of crafts.We had a total of 5 crafts and made lots and lots of each one. Should've taken more finished product pictures.

The 2 classes we offered this year were both on the same theme. We started with cupcake decorating, taught by Julie who is the talented woman who made Mike's 40th birthday cake a few weeks ago. Cute stuff, no?And the second class was on cake decorating, taught by my new neighbor Kim.What talented ladies. I told them to give me their best Martha looks. :)We had free prize giveaways every half-hour...and lots of yummy food and good conversation at brunch.We had about 65 women come and most people left with at least one craft finished (except me but nothing new there). The goal is to help people get some Christmas gifts ready, and I'm pretty sure we accomplished that. It's a big but very fun event and it was fun to pull it off. Good times.... good times.
