October 15th our group met to have a Show and Tell and to make a little 2 tiered cake plate. Many of our members brought in items that they had made or purchased since our last meeting. The MET show had taken place on Saturday the 13th of October and a few of our members were able to get there. It was a great time browsing the tables as always. I brought in a few of the items I purchased at the MET and a little coffin I had made this year for a Haunted house I am building. The little coffin has a skeleton inside that sits up when you lift the lid. It also has a motion activation device that activates sound and light when the lid is lifted. I made it using an old Halloween decoration I had.
The little cake plate was a lot of fun to build and quite easy to put together. Little cake slices and squares were given to us to put onto the plate. Below is a picture showing a plate without the little squares, etc and one with them in place.

A draw was held to determine who would win this year's membership free. It was won by Jan C. Congratulations!!
A discussion was held regarding projects to do that would interest/draw in young people to our hobby. These things could be built and put on our Club display table to show youngsters and their parents what can be done in miniature that they may be interested in doing. If you have any suggestions please let us know. One idea was to build a display using action figures that kids love to play with. Another was to build something out of Lego. Ideas can be done using dollar store items so that they wouldn't be expensive for the youngster to do.
Next month Jan is going to teach us to make a tiny scene inside of a clear plastic Christmas ornament. I can't wait! The meeting will be held on Monday, November 19th. Hope to see you there.
