Have
you patiently been waiting to hear that the Kimball Library once again will be
having Felicia Motherway here teaching the annual boxwood tree event? We are
kicking off the holiday season with this ever-popular craft. On Tuesday, December 3rd, from
6-8pm it is your night to learn how to make a beautiful fresh boxwood tree to
enjoy for the holidays. The boxwood tree is an elegant design made out of
boxwood and decorated with velvet ribbon, gold glass balls, berries and natural
gypsophila. This popular centerpiece will last for months and is perfect for
your home or for those who want a small holiday tree to enjoy. It’s also a great gift idea. Even the
‘craft-impaired’ will leave with a tree that looks like it was featured in
Better Homes & Gardens. Felicia does
not let anyone leave without a lovely looking tree. Reservations
are required as the class is limited to 20 people. Materials fee of
$30.00 must be paid in advance in order for your registration to be secure. Please
sign up at the circulation desk. Phone
registrations will not be accepted.
Have

Details
for the first ‘Holiday Drop ‘n Shop’ on December 7 from 10:30am-12pm are as
follows: On
the first day of ‘Drop ‘n Shop’ the elves have whispered to me... “Let's
make some festive Christmas crackers!”
Christmas
crackers hold paper crowns, a riddle or joke, and are filled with
small treats and candies. Christmas crackers are a fun way to decorate your
Christmas table and will surprise your family! You'll have lots of fun making
these little gifts. Registration is now
available.
If you or your child would like to see a sample of
the Saturday crafts, please drop by the library and see the projects for each
