tonight was the last mops meeting of the year. while i love mops, i am looking forward to having a few months where i don't have to plan and shop for a craft. tonight we had two new crafts - a beaded phone number bracelet and a felt busy bag - and all of the other crafts from the year to clear out the left over supplies. i had suggested in the newsletter that these might be good for last minute teacher gifts. it was a lot to get together and organize! matt thought i was joking when i showed him what needed to be loaded into the van.
we also have a raffle of 'gift baskets' at the last meeting. we try to have enough for everyone to leave with something. last year we did this as an auction, but the raffle was much 'kinder'.
some of the mops ladies getting an early start on some phone number bracelets.
it has been so nice to actually be able to go to a mops group. and i have enjoyed helping out too. looking forward to next year! love.

Will you be craft person next year?
at this point, yes, i am going to do crafts next year. i have also volunteered to organize the 'out and abouts' so it will just depend if we get someone new on steering team who wants to do one of these jobs. i am happy to do whatever.
Yay MOPS! I'm so glad you finally found one as well. Such a great group. Another idea for leftovers... at the last meeting we sell remnants from the year's crafts as a fundraiser. Items are sold pretty inexpensively so the craft gal doesn't have to store it all.
