 August Card Class 2022

Another fun day. First we eat the food we all brought to share. Then we get down to business, haha. It’s always such a good time with these sweet ladies. After we made our cards we played a quick game of BINGO for some awesome prizes. This month some of us made the “Cozy and Bright” card kit and the others were working hard on the “Hello Friend” kit. We had one new person this month. Welcome Laurie to the group. I’m glad you got to join us this month. We also celebrated another birthday this month, happy birthday to Dawnie. I can’t wait for next months class. See you all then. ❤
