[Nfb-krafters-korner] Holiday project, interested?

[Henrietta Brewer]

Hi girls,
Oh and guys too,
One of my most fond memories of last year was the candy wreathe. I had a friend who is deaf from Pennsylvania visiting and we did them while on the chat. It was a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed the candy all season. Wait, I bought such a big bag of starlight mints that Dan still has some by his chair. lol But it was a fun and easy project for an evening of fun with friends.
