My heart is so full because recently Xyron supported Military Family Appreciation Month by sponsoring my latest Neighborhood Craft Night! Today I am sharing all the details, and hopefully you will feel inspired to have your craft night with those military families in your life!

MILITARY FAMILY APPRECIATION MONTH:
I am a big believer in “spreading the love” of crafting – and over the past few years have shared a series called Neighborhood Craft Night that encourages you to reach out to your friends and neighbors and do the same!
November was Military Family Appreciation Month, and Xyron sponsored my biggest neighborhood craft night to date – they invited the wives/active duty female soldiers of the 4th BN 9th INF at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA, for an evening of food, fun, and crafty goodness! Xyron provided all of the supplies for five different holiday-themed projects, and every attendee received a Xyron 1.5″ create-a-sticker to take home as well.

BEHIND THE SCENES OF CRAFT NIGHT:
Xyron Design Team member Heather Conklin and I guided the girls through each project and were thrilled with how everyone put their own special touch on each creation. No two projects turned out the same – I love that! (All photos courtesy of Valley Floor Photography.)


Heather and Ruth – our favorite craft night guests!
If any of you have taken my Pinterest class at various events across North America, then many of these projects will look familiar to you. We created a felt garland, a Thanksgiving ribbon card, a tissue paper Christmas card, a mini notebook, and a Christmas ornament.
The girls had a blast playing with the different products and techniques!








It just isn’t Craft Night without some delicious goodies!

Of course, there were prizes too! Thanks, Xyron!
