May is for Moms and Memories

May is when we celebrate all the Mothers in our lives. We also remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us and our way of life.  It's also the month of graduations, both from college and high school.  Celebrations will abound this month.  Are you attending or giving one? If so, why not stop and look at the recipes this month on our Recipes that Rock page. There are several that might fill out your party menu.   

The workshop has a ring project that would be a great gift for the Mom in your life. Plus a coiling class as well.  Check out the upcoming projects page for all of the details. 

May is also the month of green. Sharon has an article on a very popular green mineral.  Very appropiate for May. 

We also remeber Mrs. Billie Wright. She left us last month and will be greatly missed.  Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.  

With so much going on this month, stop by and see if what we are doing can help you make surprising Mom or the graduate in your life a little easier. 

Tomsey teaching a class on wire wrapping to a group who were showing a great deal of interest on how it's done.

Our club members make some beautiful things and they are all very good about sharing how to make those beautiful things.

Tomsey's wire wrap class was a great success and everyone went home happy with their work. It was good to have Tomsey teaching again!

Our Club members showed their creative, whimsical side when it came to creating gem trees in the class

taught by Karen.

Not everyone wants to take a class that is offered. Sometimes we just come and spend the day letting our creativity and friendships flow.
