We need your ideas!

Any good ideas for our holiday craft meeting? We do have one idea but are willing to hear other member's suggestions. Once we get a few ideas, we will take a vote. This is our current idea:

A photography workshop given by a very talented photographer. It would be fun to edit some pics of the kids just in time for holiday gifts! Here is a quick overview:

"Do you want to learn about basic photography without taking a class?
Would you like to know what all those other buttons on your camera are for?
Learn what your point and shoot or SLR camera is capable of?

Would you like to know about basic tips and strategies to take better pictures of your family and events? The workshop will talk about what it takes to take better pictures, basic camera knowledge, simple and easy (and free!) editing software, what's the next step you need to take to move to the next level of photography. Bring your cameras and we will have a casual workshop setting that will include handouts, discussion and we will take lots of pictures! We will load up the pictures and actually edit right on site!"

We could do this for a different meeting if someone can come up with a crafty project. The craft needs to meet the following guidelines:

1. Practical
2. Affordable
3. Somewhat easy to do with a large group
4. If you suggest a craft, would you be willing to demo. it to the group?

Once we get a few suggestions, we will survey the group and everyone can vote. If we do not get any suggestions, we will do the photography.

Thanks!
