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.
Sorry I missed you all at the last meeting. While I get ready for the arrival of my baby time seems to be going twice as fast! I am off to Brisbane soon to wait for the birth in August. So I think I might see you all possibly in September! Shandell's blog will no doubt announce the big day when t comes.. Have fun scrapping ladies! Cathie
