Craft Hour at the Beach

I went to the beach this weekend with a few friends and I decided it would be nice to have a good wholesome girl bonding activity to do.  So I came up with craft hour.  It was actually supposed to be 'craft 20 minutes' where I showed everyone how to make an easy pair of earring.  For some people, making stuff was fun, while for others making stuff was hard.  Apparently not everyone is in to crafting.  I won't name names.

Beezus5 gets the gold star in crafting as she finished hers first and with the least help.  Plus they were pretty cute.  Hers are the big ones in the front.  (Everyone else did great too, for the most part.)

Even though some people had a little trouble (mostly with selecting the beads they wanted to use), everyone did end up with a pair of nice fashion earrings to wear out to dinner.  (Although B5 didn't put hers on until after the photo.)

The boys did not participate.

Would you be mad if your friend made you have craft time at the beach?

I wouldn't mind if I got a new pair of earrings out of it!

I think that sounds like a great idea - I would love to have a friend that taught me crafts!

I was not mad, and thank you for recognizing my skill. I wore my earrings to the food lion when i got back.

I would probably be the one planning craft time. Because when we go on vacation, J calls me the fun nazi. I just like to make sure everyone is having a good time!

I think the earrings came out great.

Ummm ok so for the record, I don't have a problem fessing up that I was the one who failed craft time at the beach. Crafting is just not for me. But I have a nice pair of earrings anyway- thank you JMJE- why weren't my earrings pictured? They are beautiful- or at least decent.

Those are great! I haven't ever been able to make jewelry.
