A requset fro Catherine, Branch Manager, Hamilton South Caddo Library

This year the library is asking community groups and patrons to help decorate for Christmas. We are to decorate a 1000 square foot area with about 70% recycled materials, most of it created by the community and patrons. I was hoping your group would like to help by making garlands. We are doing paper bag ornaments, punched tin stars, spice topiaries, dried fruit ornaments, and gingerbread men to create a homespun Christmas display in the Reading Room. I was thinking a handmade garland from recycled or leftover fibers/yarns would be a nice touch. Let me know if you might be interested in this project, or perhaps another idea for decorating.

Thanks.

I suggested that we do a wreath this year and work towards the garland for next year. IF YOU HAVE ANY KNITTED OR CORCHED ORNAMENTS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE TO THE CAUSE OR SCRAPS OF YARN WE CAN USE TO DECORATE THE WREATH BRING THEM TO THE SATURDAY GET TOGETHERS OR TO THE NOVEMBER MEETS SO WE CAN PUT IT TOGETHER. SEE YA SOON!
