* We will have a swap, one for each scale, to help fill the shelves. We are keeping the "theme" generic, "My favorite things", so you aren't limited. So be THINKING of items to make.
* Our chatroom will be open during the day.
* Maybe some special surprises!
* Everyone is invited to participate in whatever part they want. If you want to do some of the options, but not the hutch, feel free! We just want you all to have fun. Many of the events will be fluid as to time.
