News from 8th August

It was a small gathering yesterday, but still a lovely day, I think there was more chatting going on than scrapbooking. We welcomed a new lady, Pauline who is a Kazzaz demonstrator. She is happy to come along on the October get together for us to do a "make and take". Can you let us know if you are or are not coming about a week before so that we can give Pauline numbers, thanks. We will remind everyone nearer the date.
Due to the small gatherings we have had lately, we have decided to book only half the room from now on to reduce the rent for the day and in that way we aren't "running on empty" in the kitty. The cost will still be $5.00 but in that way we will have a little left over for the months when there is just the few of us.
Hope to see you next month, have a good week,
Dilys & Linda

Christmas in July

Another month has gone by and I think we all enjoyed Christmas in July, it was a lovely day and we hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed it. Here are the photographs from the challenge pack, sorry its taken so long, internet/computer problems!!





Congratulations to Rachael on winning the challenge pack. Here are the other pages, it's lucky that we didn't have to judge as they are all great pages and very creative. Thank you all for joining in the fun. Hopefully we will have more 'packs' later in the year.

I did take photographs of Secret Santa but as the computer is playing up, it's taking me ages to upload them. Will try later,

Look forward to seeing you all on 8th August, 2010, have a good month,

Cheers

Dilys and Linda

11 July

Hi ladies, looking forward to seeing you all on the 11th. Rachael has emailed and said that her mother-in-law has been on holiday busily crocheting away flowers. Rachael has said that she will be bringing them on the 11th to sell, so if you are interested, please call in. We have previously seen some of Rachael's mil's crocheted flowers and they are pretty special. Don't forget ladies, if you have something to sell, swap or just give away, bring it along and maybe your trash maybe somebody else's treasure.
Bye for now, see you next week, for Christmas in July, secret santa and the challenge.
Cheers,

11 July 2010

Well ladies, another monthly get together has been and gone, how fast is 2010 is flying. We enjoyed another enjoyable day, plenty of chatting and eating and lots of creative work happeng.
After chatting with a few of the ladies, we decided to celebrate “Christmas in July” again. So, at our next get together on 11th July, if you are joining us, you will need a SECRET SANTA PRESENT to the value of $5.00, some Christmas fare, and a happy festive glow.
To give the day an extra bit of pressure, there will be a CHALLENGE (for anybody who would like to join in). The challenge will be a Christmas theme page, with either 2 4x6 or 1 5x7 photo, more details to be released later, there will be a sketch and a pack, we will let you know the price of the pack as soon possible, all those joining in will be given a raffle ticket and numbers will be drawn out at the end of the day, saving somebody the stressful job of “voting”. The winner will receive a prize. So lovely ladies, how about it, will you join us? If so, can you let us know if you are joining in the challenge so that we can estimate how many packs to prepare, the cut off date for letting us know about the challenge is 30th June to give us plenty of time to get organised. We looking forward to hearing from you, have a wonderful month.
Bye for now,
The Sisters
