Cupcakes & Crafts

Book club was filled with all things sweet and crafty this past week! We cut, pasted, painted, stamped, and stickered mini journals and bookmarks.

We shared our loves, likes, dislikes, questions and thoughts about the plots and characters in our books.

Perfectly paired with the book, "Close to Famous", we celebrated with a cupcake decorating party! 

We donned our aprons, mixing in a pinch of good fun

and the decorating begun!

We frosted, sprinkled, dotted, placed, shaped, and imagined our way to some pretty fantastic cupcake decorations!

Only to be complete, with a taste of the sweet!

"But for now, I'm going to make the world a better place, one cupcake at a time."

Ice Cream & Smiles

We had a delightful book club meeting this past week. In honor of Piper (the main character in "The Girl Who Could Fly") we cooled off with a scoop of ice cream.

The ice cream was cause for many smiles and a little craziness from some.

We enjoyed catching up and relaxing in the shade, before digging in to our book discussions and project. 

 Time with friends is half the fun!

Both groups had great conversations about the books we read. Following our discussions, we got busy with a "reusing" art project.

 Watercolor + old book pages and paper bags + scissors + glue = one cute project

A fun time had by all.
