Our family used to have these wonderful, annual "Craft Weekends" each fall. The ones I hosted were usually held during the weekend my husband went hunting--for obvious reasons! Mothers, daughters, daughters-in-law, and neices came together for a weekend of eating, crafting, painting, scrapbooking, and--did I mention eating?
Some of us started crafting as early as Friday evening. Most of the gang was here by 10 a.m., Saturday, ready for a long day. That evening, we popped corn and watched movies before everyone started crashing on extra beds, couches, and the floor. The weekend often wrapped up with a Sunday afternoon of shopping--perfect!!
We signed and dated our plastic tablecloths each year as a lasting momento. What fun!
