June 6

Hi ladies, well Mother's Day seemed to be quite a success with all of us (except Dilys unfortunately she had to go home sick - she is fine now and back at work). We had a lovely lunch, chocolates and then afternoon tea. Thank you ladies for all your contributions to lunch and my expanding waistline.
This is just a reminder that our next meeting is on the 6th June, a little bit earlier because of the long weekend the week after. Also it's the papercraft show down in Brisbane on the long weekend, which is a fantastic place to go to see all the latest in the scrapbooking/cardmaking/stamping etc., scene and of course someone we all know is doing a class (okay its Petrina) and we all wish her well with the class. I think there might be a few from our group down there that weekend, if so enjoy yourselves, Dilys and I have been for the last 4 years and have always had a great time and spent far too much money.
Well ladies, look forward to seeing you all on the 6th June.
Bye for now,
Linda and Dilys

Mother's Day

Hello everybody, I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend.
Thank you to those that have responded to the email about Mother's Day. We will go ahead as usual on the 9th May and hope to make it a special day.
To plan the menu for lunch, could we please have some idea of your contribution, just so we aren't eating choc cake and Tim Tams all day (not that that's a problem with us LOL).
Looking forward to seeing you Sunday,
Dilys & Linda
PS we now have an "official" email address which is simplycrafty@hotmail.com

Intimate little group

It was a very intimate gathering yesterday, Rachael, Shandell and myself and my granddaughter Samantha. It was still a lovely day, a few visitors dropped in, and we still got some scrapping done, plenty of chatting and there was certainly enough food, Shandell treat us to some home made Chelsea Buns yummy!
No doubt because of it being the end of school holidays and the retreat next week it was to be expected. There was enough funds in the kitty to cover the $30.00 shortfall, but that means the kitty is low again.
Anyhow ladies, definitely need some feedback, we will need numbers for next month's gathering, it is on Mother's Day and if there is only going to be a few people, it would not be worth it, so could all those that are going to be available to come, let us know by 1st May, and if there is only a few then we will cancel and make try to make it for the week after. If there is no feedback, we will just cancel and change it to the 16th if that date is available.
Also, we might have to do this each month, if people can let us know at least a week before if they can come or not, then it will help in situations like this month.
That's all for now ladies and for those going to the retreat have a great time, lots of creativity and try to behave.
Bye for now,
Linda

9th April

Hi ladies, hope you are looking forward to Sunday as much as I am. Dilys won't be there - off holidaying again. Because she won't be there, I can't get the club's equipment etc., as it is locked in her garage. Luckily I have the tea and coffee. Anyway ladies, I look forward to seeing you on Sunday for another fun filled day of creativity
Bye for now,
Linda

Sunday 14.03.10

Almost half way through March, we all had a lovely day scrapping and chatting, its nice to catch up with everybody and see what everybody has been up to.
We did have a chat about the May get together which is the 9th and is Mother's Day. It was suggested that for those that can make it, we do a Mother's Day lunch. If we could all contribute to lunch that would be nice, just leave a comment on what you would like to bring or email Dilys or myself and we can get it organised so that we don't double up. Rachael offered to do a quiche, so other offers would be appreciated, also numbers before the day so that we know how many to cater for, maybe if we can have numbers and what your contribution to lunch will be at least one week before (i.e. 2nd May) then we could let everybody know..

I did manage to remember my camera and here are photos of all the creative work that was done on the day.

Lorrelle spent time sorting Kerry's tote out, wish I had took a "before" photo of all the "@!@!" she had in it!!! There was at least 6 corner punches - where did it all fit"

Shandelle's handy little notelets -
