Making holiday cards to share.💌
During our holiday event on December 14, we all made our own cards to share with our loved ones. There are many family traditions this time of year that center around reaching out to the ones we love.
Cherished decorations.🎄
During our holiday event everyone had an opportunity to several different types of ornaments. There were clear bulbs that could have materials placed inside or glued on the outside. There were various wooden shapes that could be decorated with markers. Everyone was encouraged to be creative and make theirs unique to themself and their traditions!
