A Jolly Season _ By: Emmy Maten    Deck the Walls with Hand-hooked Rugs,   Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la… The Season was Jolly at the Beaconsfield Hooking Crafters Guild Christmas party. Everyone contributed to making our party lively, joyous, and delicious. The amazingly talented M created some rug-hooking lyrics to old favorite Christmas tunes, and we enjoyed an interactive singsong together while M played her keyboard. An interactive singsong together with Rug Hooking Christmas tunes! We oohed and aahed at the beautiful Christmas themed rugs and crafts which several members brought in to show. Knitted Christmas trees with cork trunks We had a heartfelt Secret Santa gift exchange and as always, our snack table was marvelous. The best gift of all is being together and sharing each member’s creative spirit. Thank-you all and have a Happy and Healthy 2020! Our Heartfelt Secret Santa Gift Exchange
