Wreath Making
It's that time of the year again and I need my grape vines trimmed! Wreath making starts this Sat and we will run 3 classes on Saturday mornings. Dates have changed a bit according to my schedule. the classes will be held Oct 10th, the 31st (come in costume if you wish) and Nov 7th. I apologize for the skip in weeks, but other commitments have come up. the classes will start at 10 and last until 11:30. there is no cost for the event, but you may bring your own supplies if you have something specific in mind. Donations for supplies are ALWAYS welcomed! We don't have a vast supply of dried/silk flowers or greenery if anyone has old flower arrangements they would like to get rid of.
Class 1 - Oct 10th - trimming the vines and shaping them. The kids will need to bring hand held clippers for small branches. We have a few extras to share if you don't have any. You may also bring a bucket approx 12" or larger (depending on the size wreath you want) to hold the vines. We will have enough buckets to share. We'll be discussing themes and the kids can have a look at what supplies we have available.
class 2 - Oct 31st - Forming the wreath and bow making - We will be forming the wreath and securing them. then working on our bows - any mothers who can make bows are welcome to join! We have lots of ribbon, thanks to a generous mother who found some on sale last year. The kids can pick out their ribbon and supplies and decide on their theme.
Class 3 - Nov 7th - Decorating the wreaths. Bring any supplies you picked up needed for your wreath if you are bringing any. Hot glue guns are helpful, I have a few, but we always have a line with them.
the meetings are held at the Polichetti's - Dress warmly - we are starting earlier this year and hope the weather is nice, but we work on the wreaths in our garage and yes, the heater is fixed! but it can still get chilly.
This is our 3rd year making the wreaths and each year I am more impressed with how well the kids do. As Mr. P. would say, they look like they would be sold in stores! We have lots of fun and have had boys and girls alike particpate. Most wreaths are made as Christmas presents and I invite anyone to come and join. (moms too!) We always have enough to do extras!
If you haven't signed up yet, please send an email and let me know you would like to participate. If you need to miss a meeting we can cover you and help you get to the finished project.

Hiking and photography at Haycock Mountain
We had a wonderful day hiking to the very top of haycock mountain on Sunday and couldn't have asked for better weather. We had approximately a dozen kids and some adventerrous fathers blaze the trail over logs and rocks, or shall I call them boulders? Our guest leader, Mr Hall, kept the kids attentive with interesting facts about identifying leaves and trees. We chimneyed up the rocks at the top and a round of appluase to Mr Neuman for chimneying from bottom to top.
Our photography group took some amazing nature pictures including a spider web that glistened a vibrant blue, snails in beautiful conkshells. They showed a great eye for detail and can't wait to see all the pictures developed!
Kudos to Tom Neuman for collecting trash including a grill lid and a lunchables box and carrying them all the way back down to properly dispose of the trash!
Our group will be meeting again at the boat dock parking lot in Lake Towhee at 1pm next Sunday afternoon. We will spend 15 -30 minutes making stamps for letterboxing. Draw some ideas this week that you may want to put on your stamp. something personal, funny or something for 4-h. the stamps will be small, approx 1" by 1" and the key is to keep it simple. We will have a 4-H clover stamp that we will plant and hide in the park and we will go out on a shorter hike to try and find 4 letterboxes already in the park. Find out more about letterboxing here http://www.letterboxing.org/index.php. I found out this week, there is a letterbox at the top of haycock mountain! anyone up for going back up to find it?
For those in Drama, we will leave straight from the hike and head over to drama at 3pm.
Happy Hiking!

Hiking and Photography starts tomorrow
Talk about knocking 3 birds out with one stone! We have combined some really cool projects together and will be knocking them out over the next month.
Sunday Sept 13th 10am Haycock Mountain (Top Rock Hill Rd off 563)
Come take a hike up to the top of Haycock mountain. Easy trail for the beginners, but yet the boulders will make it exciting! Approx 45 min walk to the top and then back down. For those that don't want to make it to the top, come see how far you can go. We'll be looking at different trees, the geology of the rocks and taking some beautiful picture for the photography class. The hike is being led by Mr Hall, a scout leader and expert backpacker who makes hiking fun and interesting!
Read through the beginning part of the book and come prepared with comfortable shoes, back pack, water, snack if you would like, and your camera if you are joining in on the photography class.
More classes to come. Join in for Hiking, photogrpahy and or letterboxing. Do all 3 or just your favorites.
If you did not sign up for the hike tomorrow, please call Mrs. Polichetti or Mrs Machesic to let us know you would like to join.
See you in the morning!

Christmas Cookies
Sorry for the last minute notice, but I wasn't sure if we would be able to do cookies this year. I wanted to invite everyone to our annual Christmas cookies workshop this weekend and will have an open house from 10am - 4pm this Saturday for anyone that wants to come and join in. It's not an official project, but it's our tradition to have a bake off weekend and enjoy the company of friends. Please feel free to bring your favorite recipe with any special ingredients it may call for (beyond the normal sugar, flour, eggs and butter) and if you would like to bring any other ingredients, give a call before coming over to see if we are running short on anything. Come for a couple hours and have some fun. When you leave, you can take a wonderful assortment of cookies made. Most weekends we will make up to 1,200 cookies, although I am not sure we will bake up to par this year.
Call Tami if you plan on coming and hope to see you on Saturday!

Wreath making class
Our second year of wreath making has been a success! Just a sample of the wreaths we made. See the slideshow for all of them.
Emma made a country style wreath including her favorite animal, a cow!
Great job for her first year!
Sam went with a more modern teenage love theme, filled with hearts and special messages
We had some boys join in this year, as the wreaths fill a boy scout requirement for their craftsman badge. Nicky, one of the youngest kids did an amazing job with his wintertime theme. Filled with snowmen, clear doves and a few gingerbread men.
This was Mia's first year with wreath making. She had so much fun she brought her cousin with her and helped her put a wreath together. The picture doesn't do Mia's wreath justice with blue and silver ribbon and silver flowers. She is a natural!
The whole project was a success and all the kids can't wait to do it again next year!
