The dinner is an annual event to encourage women members to sign up and participate in a list of multiple activities that minister to others in the church. Each table was a puzzle theme. A lot of creative things you can do with puzzles.
Getting my imagination clicking I came up with the idea of making the first letter of women's names using 4 inch precut unfinished alpha letters from local craft store. Continuing the name theme I cut out the shape of the letter from a 8 1/2 inch by 5 inch card. On the cards I hand wrote women's names beginning with the cut out letter. The letters were made by gluing colorful prints from a scrap booking paper pack. The glue used that worked really well with the wood letters and paper was "Crafter's Pick" "The Ultimate La Colle Parfaite". To add more color to the table I made a floral arrangement using the same colors as the letters. The illustrations below will give you an idea of the finished project and how I went about it. My table decor seemed to attract the younger ladies due to the mod paper I used. At the end of the dinner I let them take home as many of the letters as they wanted.
My next planned future post will show you how I organized my sewing room. I am getting close to a finished view and will share with you on the next post. Happy Crafting !!
