Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes,
Art is knowing which ones to keep

Decorative Painting: a free Learning with Ros Stallcup



Annual Christmas Party

The holidays are fast approaching and time to host our annual Christmas Party.  This year it will be held at O'Charley's at 2 pm on Saturday, 7 December 2013.  If you plan to participate in the Dirty Santa you will need to bring a gift to value about $15.00 - $20.00.  We always have the most fun with our ornament exchange.  If you are participating you can bring up to five ornaments in a brown paper bag.  What ever number you bring you will get to choose the same number from the ornaments everyone else will bring.  Do not write on the bag.  We like hand made or hand painted but if you are stumped as to what to bring, a purchased ornament will be just as nice. 

I can't remember if I told you but we are able to have Ros Stalcup here in January.  The seminar will be held 18-19 January from 9 am til 5 pm.  I am hoping we will be able to have it in our new meeting location at the Fire House.  The projects with the most votes are:


Ros will supply the paint and she will be bringing books and brushes for you to purchase.  We plan to take her out to dinner on Saturday and invite all of you to go with us.  Please plan to do so as it would be nice if we had a good turnout.  You don't necessarily have to order dinner, maybe dessert or a cup of coffee.  She will stay in a hotel since she is driving and her husband comes with her.  If you haven't painted with her before she will have a video system in place so you can see what she is doing from your table.

I cancelled Peggy Harris for March.  She was very understanding and hopefully we can get her again at a later time - and when our finances are in better shape.  We won't have a meeting in January.

The past few weeks have been very hectic - a nephew went back in for his 13th operation (he's only 13), the next day his mom had a mass removed from her breast (only 42 and has a 87% chance of it becoming cancer), and the next day my daughter in law had a hip replacement.  I am doing the cooking for my son and his family - and y'all know how well I cook - until she is back on her feet.  And I am picking the girls up everyday from school, not a biggie but they live in the next county.  I expect to be quite busy the next few weeks.  But I will be at the party.

See you then,
