[Nfb-krafters-korner] Christmas Gifts for NFB chapter members

[Debbie Killian]

Terry,
I was at Jo Ann's craft store yesterday and they have the 3 inch rings like 
for wreaths. I'm thinking about trying to make some wreaths  using the 3 
inch rings and some  jingle bells for my grandchildren to put on their 
Christmas tree. The rings come in a package of 4 rings. They also had little 
bows to use with the 3 inch rings.   I also got some of the 5 and 6   inch 
rings to make small candy wreaths like we did the other night on the chat. I 
have the 8 and 10 inch rings for the peppermint wreaths for Christmas, but I 
wanted to see what the smaller rings would look like. They also had some 
crosses cut out of canvas that would do  well for a Christmas tree ornament 
or to use on a gift and that way the person getting the gift could hang  the 
cross on their tree. they had the real shiny cord to use on the crosses.
As you can tell I found all kinds of neat goodies. I could go on and on, but 
I wont. I did want to tell you where you could get the smaller rings though. 
I hope this helps.

Debbie
