Crafty Creations |
|
 One of the best aspects of Crafty Creations is that there is never any cost to participants, but would the term "two for the price of one" stilll apply?Either way, September's Crafty Creations features two related crafts. Each participant at this month's gatherings will have the opportunity to decorate an enamel camping mug and make loose leaf tea bags to go with the mug. Creative adults are invited to attend the afternoon session at 1 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 10, or the evening session at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 30. Registration is required for the evening session. Just stop by or call the library at 937.783.3585 by Sept. 26 to register. Crafty Creations is always free, and supplies — and instruction — will be provided. |
