Program

Our program this month was Christmas Boxes with miniature Christmas scenes by Wendi. She began her lesson right after the Show and Tell. We had a choice of a Santa/Tree, etc. scene or a Nativity scene. She described the simple forms that, when very small could be combined to create a plethora of tiny people, trees and animals. Thank you Wendi for a fab meeting.
