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

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
