February 2016 Workshop - Valentines

This month our "workshop" had a purpose other than book arts. Lorraine Miller-Wolf had us prepare Valentine cards for the Senior Nutrition Program home delivered meals, participants at the senior lunch sites, kidney dialysis patients and people living in our local board and care homes.

Lorraine brought some supplies and the rest of us did too.  Some of us had already made cards at home. We then spent the next several hours making Valentines. Here are the pictures. Need I say more?

And now for the results!

Lots and lots of cards.

Take a look at the February 14th blog. It shows the display of Valentine cards that have been part of the previous years' exchanges.
