Snapshot Meme #58: Cats and Crafts Night

Posted by: on: December 27, 2014

Saturday Snapshot invites bloggers to share photos. On December 6, I spent a couple of hours at an Art Night making greeting cards, gift bags, and name tags. Some attendees also made ornaments.

There were oodles of supplies! Card stock, stickers, cutouts, and so much more. I got to customize my cards for every family member.

The cost for the night was only $20! All money went straight to our local no-kill Cat House. The lady in charge is an art teacher and contributed all of her own supplies.

This being my first time, I didn’t know what to expect. As soon as the evening ended, I started thinking of a bunch of people for whom I could have made cards too. Good thing there will be another Art Night in February!

Thanks! No one else made them. More for me, I guess. 🙂

What a great idea, and what beautiful cards you created. I hope the event raised lots of money. Looks like you had a good time.

The turnout was surprisingly low in numbers. I uploaded scans of all my creations up to my Facebook page, with the hope of enticing friends and family to participate in the next one. The night was so calming and fun for me.

I love this idea! I wonder if our library could host an event like this?

What excited me most is that the night was for adults! Sometimes young people seem to get all the fun activities. 🙂
