JOHNSTON COUNTY CHORUS - CLAYTON HARVEST FESTIVAL 2023

 

The weekend of October 26-29, 2023 was the Clayton, NC Harvest Festival.



The Johnston County Chorus had a booth there. As a member of the chorus, I was asked if I would be interested in selling some of my one of a kind handmade cards at the Festival. I donated 115 Christmas cards for the event. 100% of the proceeds would go to the Chorus! At $3 each they are a real bargain.



Below is the card rack that I have, on which the cards will be displayed. 
(The photos were taken in our living room.)






These are the last group of cards that I created for the Event. 





Unfortunately, I was unable to volunteer at the Booth because of a previous commitment. So, I hope some that volunteer from the chorus will share some photos with me that I will add to this blog entry later!


I joined the chorus for the Spring 2023 concert and look forward to singing again on December 16, 2023. If you read this blog before that date, I hope to see you there!

SPECIAL FALL CHILDRENS' CRAFT EVENT

 


SPECIAL FALL CHILDRENS' CRAFT EVENT


I was asked to prep for and facilitate a Fall card making event with the Friday AM 
Home School children at my church. We created pop up box cards and traditional cards that were embossed and embellished. 












First, we prayed thanking God for the beautiful weather and stunning Fall colors He has provided for us. We then prayed for the children as they created the cards and for those who would be receiving them.


Two of the many ladies that come to my home  to craft weekly, assisted me!































It was indeed a joy to work with these great children and to nurture young cardmakers! 


Happy Fall, Y'all!
