Hi ladies, just to let you know Shandell has posted a picture of our April Swaps on her blog, the link is http://littlemissscrappy.blogspot.com.au/

15th April 2012

Hi ladies, another lovely day spent yesterday, lots of catching up with everybody and some creativity going on. The swaps were great as usual and well worth taking part to get all those lovely cards/embellishments.
The next swap for May is get well/sympathy cards and bunting embelishments, so those ladies that wish to take part, let me know as soon as possible and I can pass the numbers on.
I have put a list of the swaps in the side bar for people to check out in advance what we are doing, if you have any ideas, please let us know, I have taken the liberty of putting a few ideas there for the months we hadn't filled in.
We welcomed Sheryl Phayre yesterday, Sherly came along to see what was happening on our Sunday get togethers and stayed for a while to chat and check out some of the work that we did. We look forward to seeing her again.
I will get photos of the swaps posted as soon as I can.
Take care, have a good month and hopefully see you on 20th May.
Linda

18th March

Hi ladies, we had another day of chatting, creating and of course, eating. One thing is for sure, you can't diet when we have crafty Sundays!.
Talking of food and diet, it is the retreat this weekend, if you can't come for the weekend, you can come out for the day, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner, plus a day of scrapbooking/creating, all for $65.00.
SWAPS - next months swaps are:
cards - baby
embelishments - journal
So ladies, if you want to join in, please let us know at least one week before the next S'crafty day.
I must admit I didn't join in the last swap but after seeing the great cards and embelishments, I wish I had, they were great.
Have a great month, and for those that are going, see you next w/end.

19th February 2012

Hi ladies, we had a lovely day on Sunday, it was good to see everyone and catch up, lots of chatting and laughter. As usual the swaps were very creative, didn't get photos but I am sure our lovely "swap coordinator" Miss Shandell will put photos of them on her blog.
The swap next month will be a boys card and the embelishment is "calendar". Can you let us know before the 11th March if you are joining in.
Also, because next month it is the week before the retreat, can you let us know how many will be coming on the 18th March so that we can organise the room as if there is only a few, we can just book the smaller room for March.
Thanks ladies,
have a good month,
Linda and Dilys

19th February 2012

Hi ladies, we had a great time at our first meeting of the year on the 22nd January, lovely to see so many of you there, welcome back Cassie, good to see you again.
Many congratulations to Amanda and Cathie on the birth of their babies, no doubt you will be calling in to see us to "show and tell". Look forward to seeing lots of baby pages.
We are organising swaps again for the year, Shandell has come up with a lot of great ideas (thanks Shandell) and there is a list below.
The first is for February, and it will be:

Cards – girls birthday
Embelishments - School

Can you let us know by the 12th February who is taking part. That is the cut off date to give us at least a week to do them. I will update you during the time before that so that you can get started.

Some of the ideas for the following year are:

Cards:

Mar – Boys birthday
Apr – Baby – birth, shower, christening
May – Sympathy
June – Get Well / Friendship
July – Christmas
Aug – Men birthday
Sept – Woman birthday


Embelishments –

Mar – Calendars
Apr – Journalling spots
May – Bunting
June – Travel
July - Christmas tag

I’m sure we can add more ideas and change dates around to suit everyone, this is just a basic list.

Thanks for that ladies, don't forget to let us know if you are taking part in the swap and also if possible can you let us know how many will be attending next month.

Thanks

Linda and Dilys

2012 - Wow another year gone by so quickly

Hi ladies, just to let you know I have put the dates for 2012 in the side bar. I haven't booked the Centre yet so if there is any glaringly obvious errors, please let me know asap. I have changed October because the 3rd Sunday fell on the weekend of the retreat and I am presuming the majority will be at the retreat.
With the help of the trusty P Neville calendar, I hope I have managed to miss long weekends and school holidays. The January one is the last Sunday of the school holidays so hopefully all you mums/teachers will need a relaxing day before starting the new school year.
For those that are unable to come to the Christmas breakup on Sunday, Dilys & I wish you a merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year.
Take care over the silly season,
Linda and Dilys

4th December

Hi ladies, thanks for another lovely day, everybody was very busy and we all seemed to get plenty done.
Well believe it or not its that time of the year again, our next scrapbooking day is on the 4th December - 2 weeks time!!!! Hard to believe another year has gone round. Once again we will have a festive day, with secret santa (gift to the value of $5.00) and a nice lunch. Could everybody let me know as soon as possible if they will be coming and whether they will be bringing a sweet or savory dish.
Here are photos of the swaps we did this week, all great work as usual there is no swap this month as time is short and I am sure everybody has enough to do preparing for Christmas,




We look forward to hearing from you,have a good week.
Linda & Dilys
