Origami Christmas Tree Class #2

This class was so fun and missed by quite a few enthusiastic friends, that they asked me to teach again. So, I solicited a few key helpers, and we did round two! We had a couple who were paper folding challenged. They didn't like it when I crumbled their first efforts up and gave them a new sheet of paper to start over, but we worked through it!!! Lots of Laughs!!!



Class participants left to right, bottom row: Clare, Kelly, Delia and Tom.

Back Row: Cindy, Angel, Me, Jimbo, Wendy, Lauren, Terry, Christy and Gary. 


Note: I asked the group if I could hold onto some of their trees until later that night, to use in my room as decorations for the Christmas Cabin Crawl, and they said I was just using them for cheap labor, and they were going to unionize!

I got to do 14 dives and 5 snorkel trips over our two weeks at Eco Cove Resort. I feel much more confident and comfortable diving, practice does truly help! Eco has these t-shirts that list all their Resort excursions - we made a nice dent in all of them and it's hard to pick a favorite!

This time the tde ws coming in quickly and alot of the island was already covered by water but that didn't dampen our party! We had a cooler of beer this time too!
