Tie-Together Baby Blanket Construction Take 3, September 21, 2010

After our summer break, the AFWA Spouses are back in business again! Actually, we'd been back in business since August! If you're an AFWA member or AFWA Spouse interested in learning more about what we do, feel free to contact us by commenting on this blog, or you may join the "2nd Weather Squadron Airmen & Spouses' Group" on Facebook to keep in touch.

Last Tuesday night, we got together to work on more baby blankets, given as gifts to new AFWA family members. We got 5 of them done, and still have materials for 5 more.

Cindy Russell brought information about Mrs. Holly Petreaus's recent visit to Offutt, to discuss how the Better Business Bureau's military line, and a local version recently put in place, can help young servicemembers avoid predatory lending practices and potential identity theft.

We also discussed the great AFWA Holiday Party being planned for December 17th, the Childrens' Halloween Party scheduled for October 30th, and other upcoming events.

With our coffee and homemade desserts at the ready, we tackled the blanket construction!

With 6 of us on hand, we were able to work on 3 blankets at once!

My personal favorite, the girly camouflage!

My youngest son came in with Dad (who got called back to the office) and he hung out with us ladies, providing free stand-up comedy entertainment in the form of knock-knock jokes.
