Creative Crafting

As some of you know, we've been doing crafts at our meetings lately.  I'm going to start posting before hand what crafts we are going to be doing, so here is the craft for the March 14 meeting.  We are going to be making...


Friendship bracelets!  Kenny is such good friends with Graeme and George, I thought it would be fun to do an activity that reflects that.  The bracelets are easy to make and I will have the patterns for several types of bracelets available.  I will have all the materials available, but you can bring your own string or embroidery floss if you like.  I'll see you there!

Book Blurb: Kenny and the Dragon

What do you do when your new best buddy has been designated a scourge by the community and marked for imminent extermination? Just ask Kenny Rabbit. When the simple folks in the sleepy little village of Roundbrook catch wind that there's a dragon running loose in the countryside, they get the wrong idea and the stage is set for a fight to the death. So it's up to Kenny to give his neighbors front-row seats to one of the best-known battles in history -- the legendary showdown between St. George and the dragon -- without losing a friend in the fray.
