December Meeting
We met at Jeannie's house for a lovely buffet.  Her Christmas decorations were festive and beautiful.

 
Delicious salads, ham, and vegetable dishes were beautifully displayed.

After dinner, "Flowers by Monica" demonstrated the making of a boxwood tree.
 
Monica started with wet oasis anchored in her container, and began adding boxwood sprigs to the top and bottom

 
Monica answered questions as the tree progressed and demonstrated how she fashions bows for the top.


The finished boxwood tree with bare branches for height and  raffia bows for accent

 "Festival" for a  Tree!
Our club made ornaments and decorated a tree for the Ross Library to be auctioned in silent bidding, raising money for the library.


Judy prepared bows and Steve kept the ornaments ready
 

Melinda adds ornaments and the topper is afixed!
 


And what a beauty it is!
