Amazing Workshop!

Today was the jewelry workshop and we had a great turnout about 20 people, give or take a few, and everyone participated.  I made a necklace and it took some time because I have never worked with wire before, so I had to practice and play around a bit before I got the hang of it.  Michelle was a great help because she knows how to make jewelry and she taught me and basically everyone who came in how to work with wire. Thank you Michelle!

We had people who came by themselves and some came with their kids and all made great items and all of them made some type of donation, either an item or money donation.  One thing that was really fun was that my family came, my parents and my aunt and uncle and they all made something, even my dad who is not artistic in any shape or form! :)

Tonight we also got supplies for our workshop on Tuesday and we learned how to make the wallets and the different variations that can be done with it.  I think that it will be a hit.  It's nice to see all of our work being put into action.  Tonight was a lot of fun and time just flew by.  I helped a little boy make a necklace and that was just so much fun! My family had such a great time that they want to come to the workshop next Friday and I hope a lot more people feel that way.
