## 🏖️Get creative while enjoying the beach - crafting meets vay-cay vibes!🎄

***

### WHEN & WHERE

Wednesday Dec 3
Time: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: Englewood Beach
Meeting spot: Enter parking lot circle, turn left, pass porta potties on right, park there. That’s where the split in the light blocking fence for the turtles is. We gather straight out from that split, down by the water.

### WHAT WE'RE MAKING

Beautiful coastal Christmas trees made from beach finds! Check out the inspiration photos - we'll create our own versions using shells, starfish, and beach treasures.

### COST: $5 (covers cost of your canvas)

### WHAT'S INCLUDED/SUPPLIED BY MAUREEN:

• Paint, Paintbrushes, Clear Glue
• Canvases
• Some starter shells, Sea Glass, and starfish from my collection

### WHAT TO BRING

Optional: Small decorative items (rhinestones, pearls, mini ornaments, sea glass, etc.)
🪑 Beach chair or towel
☂️ Umbrella if you want shade
🧴 Sunscreen (Florida sun is no joke!)
💧 Water bottle
📖 Book, journal, or just yourself
Optional: Snacks, hat, sunglasses, camera for sunset pics

### THE VIBE

Super casual, zero pressure, bring whatever skill level you have (including zero!). Some of us will make Pinterest-worthy creations, others will make gloriously imperfect beach art - all welcome!
We'll set up by the shell line at the water's edge, craft at our own pace, and chat naturally. No forced sharing, no performances - just create, relax, and enjoy good company.
Can't craft to save your life? Come anyway! You can be our cheerleader, shell-sorter, or just hang out and enjoy the beach day.

### WEATHER BACKUP

If it's rainy, I'll post an update by 8am with a backup location (possibly moving or postponing).
