Hi, guys, we hold this Christmas Card Making after our popular soup lunch last Wednesday afternoon. BUCU kindly organize this event. Unfortunately, Hannah and I (May) was so busy preparing supper for Alpha Course afterwards that we miss this one. So we have a special guest as our blogger this time__ Joe Bain from BUCU. Here comes Joe's short account of the event:
I (Joe Bain) arrived at 14:55 very excited about making Christmas cards for my friends, I set out the materials we would be using- there was coloured paper, gold and silver card, glitter, coloured felt, coloured pipe cleaners, Christmas cards to cut up and lots of colouring pens! (plus scissors and glue etc).
We got started straight away and much fun was had with the glitter, after using it you would blow the excess glitter onto your neighbours clothes! I got covered in the stuff much to amusement of May! Halfway through the card making an Angel appeared! Well, not quite a real angel, Jenny in a shining white robe and accompanying wings came and gave a short talk about what Christmas celebrates, the birth of Jesus and why he was born. She did a very good job of painting a visual picture of how young Mary would of felt being visited by an angel as we were all a bit in awe of her costume!
After the talk it was back to card making, I managed to make 5 cards I cheekily asked Emily, who was sitting next to me, to write in my cards because I have terrible handwriting! I gave them out that evening and was very pleased with the impression they gave :) Merry Christmas!
PS, May did manage to peek in, taking some photos and taking some nibbles :P However, I have to confess that May does not like Christmas special: Ginger beer and Mince pie
