After the party

Hi ladies, what a great fun day, I think everybody enjoyed "Christmas in July", especially with Santa calling early, lots of chatting and laughter. Welcome to Paula who joined us today, we look forward to seeing you again.

I took photos of everybody receiving their Secret Santa gift (except myself of course!!!), what a great variety of gifts, its amazing what you can get for $5.00 when you really try.

The swap was a success, lots of ready made embellishments for us to use with our Christmas photos.

There is another swap for next month, a colour swap, which is neutrals, browns/beiges. Can you let us know if you want to join in, the closing day will be 16th August (just email us or post a comment on the blog), which gives us 2 weeks to get them done, at the moment there is 13!!!!!, being:

Helen, Shandelle, Kylie, Julie, Kate, Lorelle, Kerry, Rachelle, Petrina, Danielle, Sandra, Linda and Dilys.

Thanks again for a great day ladies, have a good week,

Linda & Dilys

Christmas in July - 24.07.09

Hi ladies, just a reminder about Christmas in July on Sunday.
Swap - there is now 10 ladies in the swap, so for those participating, make 10 tags/journalling tags or the like.
A secret santa gift - to the value of $5.00 - not a scrapbooking item, to be wrapped and placed in the santa sack.
Christmas fare for afternoon tea, in keeping with the Christmas theme.
Santa hats would be good.
So hopefully see you all there.
Cheers
Linda

New Arrival

I am sure we all saw the comment from Cathie and I am sure I can speak on behalf of the "simply crafty" ladies when I say good luck and we all look forward to seeing you and baby in September.

29 June 2009

What a good way to end the 2009 financial year, a happy afternoon scrapping with friends and having a chat and a few laughs. Everybody seemed to enjoy the afternoon, Dilys and I certainly did.
A big thank you to Helen for demonstrating many ways to alter embellishments, a few there that were new to us, thank you so much Helen for giving us a differnt view on how to use our "stash".
An update on next month, it's Christmas in July (not June Petrina - LOL - there's one in every group!!!), so the whole afternoon will have a Christmas theme, so bring some Christmas pages to do, wear a silly santa hat, and some yummy Christmas food. There is also a secret santa, so bring a gift to the value of $5.00 - and just to make it that bit harder - not a scrapbook item.................!!. But lets face it we are all female, so that makes it a lot easier doesn't it.
Shandell has come up with the idea of having a swap, so if you want to join in, let us know, the swap will be of a Christmas theme, a Christmas tag, journal tag or along those lines, so put the thinking hats on ladies and let us know who will be participating as soon as possible. Shandell is to get back to me with the numbers so that we know how many tags or whatever we are to make. Look forward to hearing from you Shandelle.
About next year, we are going to organise dates for next year and hopefully you will all support the group as you have this year, dates will be given out as soon as we can get organised.
Have a good week ladies
Linda & Dilys
PS a few ladies were trying to work out days for the retreat next year and I checked and it is 16-18 April 2010.
