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

Quarter Party at the next meeting

We will not be painting at the next meeting but it will be a good time to have a party.  Looks like fun!!

QUARTER PARTY

Admission - 25 cents and 3 donated items. The items should be nice items that you would be willing to buy. You could bake a cake or make one of your favorite craft items, paint an item, a plant from a nursery or your yard, or an item that you no longer want or re-gift an item, etc.
You will receive an envelope containing tickets that all have the same number on them. ex. an envelope full of tickets with the number 5 on them.  This identifies you and is your hopefully winning number for the drawings.   

You will need a roll or two of quarters.

The donated items will be auctioned off one by one. If you want to bid on an item you will place a quarter and one of your tickets into the pot. If you really want the item, you can place several of your tickets and an equal amount of quarters into the pot.

Then we will draw a number for the item which will indicate the winner. 

We will also have an auction table with art work from teachers that we entertained at one of our seminars.

Bring your friends and neighbors, the more the merrier.

April meeting and Paint In

We received word that due to Lucy's husbands recent hospital stay, Lucy will not be able to teach this weekend.  There wasn't a lot of time to come up with a project so Jackie has requested that everyone bring something small to paint on and she will teach a lighthouse/beach scene.

We have some business to finalize tomorrow.  Mostly about taxes.  There are some items we need to vote on within the directory.  If Barbara is able to attend she will need volunteers to fill the list of paint ins for the rest of the year.  I'm not sure but we will probably finalize the tickets for the quilt.  Please check the blog again tonight or tomorrow morning for any further updates

I didn't have this image available earlier because I have grandchildren over and it is really hard to get on the computer when they are here.  As always, bring your regular painting supplies and something for potluck.  The meeting begins at 10 am.  See you there.
