Christmas Ornament Paint In

Does this give you an idea what we will be doing this Saturday?  We will be making Christmas tassels.  The one in the photo is not exactly like the ones we will be doing because we won't be adding a bird to the top but it shows you how we will stack the ribbon and trim.  The pink one is the first one I did and as you can see in the photo it is not stacked properly.  I will be giving you some really good detailed instructions and photos.  Of course it won't be done in pink.  I am hoping my trims come in before Saturday as I had to order them online.  Barbara will be teaching a snowman ornament and Debbie had to cancel due to an illness in her family.

We will start at 10 am and should be finished by 2 pm.  Bring your regular painting supplies and a glue gun....I know you all have one and it will be easier if you have one at least between two people.  Don't forget your pot luck lunch and one dollar bills (fee is between $1-$5).  We don't carry change with us.  Everything will be in a kit which will make it easier. 

I would like to remind you that we have the church room until November.  We have to find another place to meet.  I need ideas and suggestions.  We will also need a new president since Francis will not be able to fill in next year. 

 

We had a really great time with Diane Bunker last month.  I just know you all went home and painted on T-shirts, bottles and spoons.  If you did, I am so proud of you.....but I didn't.  I practiced a bit but I didn't actually finish a project.  It was certainly packed with a lot of fun ideas and Diane was so sweet about sharing.  I tried puff painting back in the late 80's but never could get it to puff.  Now I know what to do.  And the paste..well it takes practice.

I should remind you all that if you didn't pay for frosting your bottles, please do so at the next meeting.  The frosting was expensive and we need to replenish our funds. 

We will be hosting our next seminar with Janice Miller.  She is going to be teaching Zintangle and one other project.  However, I do not have a picture of the projects yet but will post as soon as I receive it.  Jane will go over the information at the meeting.

I will be bringing your newsletter to the meeting.  Time goes by so fast and it does take a bit of time to put it together.  At any rate, I will see you in a few days.

A visit with Julia

Julia will be visiting Monday 27 may and would like to have lunch with us before she goes back to Arizona.  We will have lunch at 12:00 at Winzell's at eastern gate shopping center in Spanish fort.  Please let me know if you want to have lunch with us.
