Bead group gets ready for Christmas

Our Thursday night bead group enjoyed a special Christmas challenge this year. December 15th was the last meeting for 2011 and in place of the traditional gift for the Secret Santa, we could make and bring a beaded bauble. Here is our superb display of baubles, and everyone enjoyed the challenge. It was a great way to share our beading efforts with friends. This could be the start of a new Halfpenney tradition! What do you think?
