This week's update

Hi all, we are still looking for blankets and bedding as well as personal care products, so don't forget us when you go shopping. The dollar stores are usually good places for personal care products. The warming center was fun this week. There were dart games, some went shopping in the Thrift store and then we had American Chop Suey for lunch with pie for dessert. In the morning we made draft dodgers and everyone got to take one home. We used a garbage bag, duct tape, and two lengths of pipe insulation. They were fun to make, not expensive and fit under the door nicely. We have more materials so we can make them again for those who were not with us this week. In the afternoon we made fire starters using old candles that we melted in an old crock pot. We used small muffin pans and the small paper liners. First we put in shredded cedar pet bedding and then we filled them with wax. As they were cooling, we put some more cedar shavings in the top so they will light well. Everybody got to take some home. Next week we will be teaching needle felting --- all materials will be provided (even band aids!) so come and have some fun with us and learn a new craft. See you later.........Kay
