Watch and enjoy all of the creativity used to make the cards in our annual Holiday Card Exchange as the participating members open and share their cards. You may even pick up some how-to ideas for your own holiday cards! Everyone is welcome; you do not need to have participated in exchanging cards. The Zoom link will be emailed to all members a week before the event, and posted here on the website for non-members to attend. We’ll open the doors at 2:30pm to socialize.
