English: I was inspired to find a use for the square milk carton bases that are always discarded while making crafts at the workshop. While searching for the answer, I ended up with an excellent result with how to use in them making picture frames.

Thank you to all of the guests that came out to visit our art presentation at the Pasadena Public Library for AirNight 2013. If you were there to experience the magic of the Oriental Fusion Handcraft^SM – Recycling Workshop, you witnessed first hand how it feels to be a part of our ongoing workshops. It was a joy to see the children’s eyes lit up with excitement as they worked side by side with their parents to complete their unique one of a kind Time Capsule. Adults that participated said that it reminded them of that warm feeling they had in elementary school putting together class projects. Regardless of their age and experience, everyone who attended had a smile on their face as they felt that community bonding experience that Reiyukai encourages us to explore.

Now, the results you’ve all been waiting for! At the event we had a guessing game to correctly guess the number of milk cartons used for our mystery craft for the night.

The correct answer is 4 Milk Cartons! (Only Half-Gallon cartons used)

Big congratulations to the 8 winners who wrote down the perfect answer! You will be contacted shortly by email or phone to receive details to receive 1 month of craft classes for 2 people.

For those who didn’t guess correctly in our contest you can still attend too! That night we handed our flyer to allow you to have a one time, complimentary workshop. Give us a call, let us know how many people would like to try it out, and we’ll give you the details to attend our Friday or Saturday workshops.

Keep on designing! Keep on creating! You never know what you may be good at until you try! See you all at the next workshop!
