Becky and Britt Halloween Wkshp

In response to serious requests to make Halloween decorations, Britt and I did a pre-Halloween workshop. Only 5 women came this week, which is the lowest numbers we've had yet.

We began with a writing prompt: "When I think of Halloween, I think of....", and the women shared an array of wonderful memories. Then we prompted with "The best celebration of my life was/is...." and shared. Again, wonderful, intense memories.

Then we did collages: designing your own Halloween costume. We used newspapers and color magazines, and we did our collages on Halloween-colored construction paper. We shared, and each of them was totally different, different reasons, different colors and materials...they look great. And mad positive comments kept coming, like "I dont want to leave!" and saying how fun the activities were. It was really nice.
