November Craft

Christmas is upon us. I know I shouldn't talk about it before Halloween is over, but.....
We need to decide when we can meet in November and what we would like to do. It has been suggested that we have a few different choices and if you are not interested in doing any of them, bring unfinished projects to work on, or both! I have added a poll. Please fill it out so that we can see what works best for everyone. Also, if you have crafts that you would like to try, please make a comment and post it so that we can all see it! Thanks. liz
