Craft Night - Ribbon Tree

'Twas three weeks before Christmas, when all at the table,

The ladies were crafting, even those who weren't normally able (Barb!);

The ribbons were laid out on a tray with care,

Some wanted to begin a bit early, but they didn't dare;

Raviolis, Chicken Kabobs, Red Potatoes and more comprised the buffet,

The live Christmas tree and scented candles created a nice bouquet;

We washed everything down with a festive Sherbet punch,

But wait, we still had tartlets, pie, and cheescake to munch!

With our bellies full and lots of chatter, we went straight to work,

Only stopping for advice, our tasks we did not shirk;

We folded, pinned, glued, and added sparkly puffs,

Everyone agreed, making ribbon trees wasn't so tough!

Laying her finger aside her nose, a gift Mom did bestow,

Darling holiday pails, filled with candy, Oh, how yummy ho-ho-ho;

With trees and gifts in hand, our guests traveled off into the night,

"Merry Christmas" they exclaimed, "to return for another Craft Night would be a delight!"

Thank you family and friends for making our 2nd Craft Night such a success! Mom and Sue
