February Craft

2010-01-26T08:07:00.000-08:00

MAGNET BOARD

Craft Date : Thurs Feb 25th

Time: 6:30

Money is due to Natalie by Feb 10th

(see below for cost)

Hey ladies, this craft will require you to bring a lot of your own stuff, but hopefully that will make it personal, and it will fit well in YOUR home, and not just in MY home!!!

There are a few options for the size of Magnet Board you would like, so think about the space you'll be putting it in and order accordingly. This one is 18" x 18". Here are the options and the cost for each one:

The measurements are the INSIDE dimensions of the frame.

12" x 12" - $14.00

12" x 12 " carved - $15.00 - the carved frame is like the frame we did with Tara for the 'scrapbook picture frame'.

18" x 18" - $23.50

16" x 24" - $27.00

You will need to bring your own material, as well as creating all of your own magnets. Here are some ideas:

These are a bunch of antique buttons glued to magnets. I went to my grandmas and dug through her old button box and I love how they turned out!!! You could stop by an antique shop if you like the look of these, but I saw some photos online of some created with just some cute decent sized normal buttons, and they were super-cute too.

If you would like magnets like these 2, I can pick them up at the same time I pick up the wood. They are just carved metal, and are really cute, and pretty big-at least 2" across each.

They also have some seasonal ones - snowman, a snowflake, 3 leaf clover, some kissy lips -

Each of these magnets are $1.90, and that includes the magnet on the back.

One more idea for magnets is to get some clear stones, and mod podge cute paper to the back of them and then attach your magnet, like these:

I will also pick up any number of magnets you want.
1/2" magnets are $.25 each
1/4" magnets are $.20 each

I'm just going to hang mine like it is, but some other ideas for hanging are to drill a few holes and hang it with a long silk ribbon, or to hang it with a metal handle like this:

This is also how the 12" by 12" CARVED frame looks.

7" Handle - $3.50
9" Handle - $4.50
7" C Curve Handle - $6.50

Materials you need to bring:
Your own material, large enough to cover your board, plus a few inches on each side.
Paint that matches your material!!
Embellishments - Ribbon, a vinyl saying, paper cutouts etc. . .ANYTHING!!!
2 paintbrushes
paper plate, or something to put your paint on
Sandpaper
Stain
Gloves
Cloth to wipe stain
Hot Glue Gun if you've got it
E6000 glue if you've got it - I'll bring mine and am willing to share!!

P.S. - if anyone LOVES the look of this board and wants theirs to be exactly the same, I've got enough left-over paint and material and I'll even throw in the same brown ribbon!!! Call me and I'll let you give me a few bucks, and then you won't have to do your own shopping!!!

TEMPLE Craft....UPDATE!!

2009-12-02T17:10:00.001-08:00

Hellooo Again!

I finally have an update for all of ya!! I have GOOD news and BAD news.....hmmmmm....which should I tell you FIRST?? OK - the good news is that we have a date SET and we are FOR SURE doing it!! The bad news?? I can't get them to reduce the price AND they have to add tax onto the price as well!

Seriously, I tried to "work" my mo-jo...and it just wasn't happening! Here are some quotes from the email Poppyseed's Rep sent me:

*Tax: We have to charge tax because we are selling a product.

*Instead of you getting the free picture and discounting everyone’s pictures: We are unable to do this because of the accounting and tax issues it creates.

I know, I know! I am SO sorry! I even talked to her on the phone to try to get her to SEE our way of thinking....her boss just wasn't willing to budge. If you aren’t able to do it at this price, I totally understand! If you are STIIIILLLLL in….

Here are the DeTaIlS:

Date: Wednesday, December 30th
Place: Primary Room @ Church
Time: 6:00 P.M.
Price: $48.92 ($46 + tax)
Due Date to Pay: December 12th
Email: flygirl165@juno.com

Please shoot me an email letting me know you are IN (AND which temple you want out of Salt Lake Temple, Bountiful, Timpanogas, Logan, Idaho Falls, St. George, & Manti) and I will email you back my address! Please mail your checks ASAP!! I have to HAVE all the checks by December 12th because SHE (Poppyseed’s Rep) needs the money by the 16th! Also – if you have never been to “our” church…I can email you directions as well.

After I complained to her about the price….AGAIN….she brought up a good point. If I were to purchase this at Deseret Book, etc….then I would be paying around $100 or more! Plus, how fun it will be to get together with girlfriends to make such a beautiful craft!

OH – and I REALLY liked this gal! We chatted over the phone and I am SURE she would be BFF’s with all of us! :) Tee, hee….

Click HERE to get to the last post about this craft. It states the dimensions and how long it will take, etc.

OK – questions that you girlies wanted me to ask her:

Q: Can they put a “saying” on the picture for you?
A: They are not able to do it at this time, but they may make this available in the near future. HINT: If you really want a “saying” – you could use vinyl!

Q: Can I paint the frame another color?
A: Of course! They will only provide black paint, so if you want your frame another color – you will need to bring the paint.

Q: Can we order the temple picture in a “landscape” format? (Ya know, how in Microsoft Word…you can print your document either Portrait or Landscape?!?)
A: The pictures they have on their site are the ones they have available through the photographer. You can order a different picture or angle directly through the photographer, but it is an additional $32 for the print.

Q: The frame looks like it has been sanded and stained – are we going to do that to ours?
A: Not during the class, but you can do it afterwards. They have found that the paint needs MORE time to dry before sanding and staining – otherwise the paint pulls off in strips. Once it has completely dried, you can stain, glaze, or lacker your frame BUT – you should completely cover the picture so it doesn’t get damaged.

K – I think that is everything! I am SUPER excited to do this! Becky (the Poppyseed Rep) got me SO freakin’ excited!! She LOVES hers….and I can’t wait to get one in MY home! I am excited to see everyone, too!! SO – email me ASAP….and don’t forget to tell me which temple you want!!

November Craft

2009-10-13T11:57:00.001-07:00

I know this is a little early, but because Wood Connection is so backed up we have to place our order soon. They are out about 4 weeks now. So here it is....

A Christmas Manger "A King Is Born"

(We aren't making Honey Nut Cheerios. It is just to compare the size.)

Instructors: Melissa & Beth M.
Date: Thurs Nov 19th
Time: 7:00 pm
Cost: $30

Due Date to sign up and pay is Thurs Oct 22nd.

We will have it on display at the next craft night, but that will be the last night to sign up and pay so we can get the order in the next day. If you aren't going to be at the craft night, you can stop by either mine or Beth's house to look at it in person.

"BONUS" Craft Night...

2009-10-04T14:38:00.000-07:00

Helllllllloooooo Ladies!!

I have an idea for a craft night RIGHT after Christmas (when Jamie & I will be in town)...

K....who's in???? I want to make this DAH-LING Temple Pic above...and I need to gather nine other girlies to do it with me!! Some of my girlfriends outside of crafting have already told me that they want in....but we need more girls! This company called Poppyseed Projects will teach US how to make it and they will bring all the materials as well! The cost per gal will be $46.

We will be in Utah around Christmas time...and I am planning on setting this all up AFTER Christmas. (Breathe a sigh of relief....it won't interfere with your hectic Christmas preparations...tee,hee...)

Here's some MORE info:

If you don't want to do the Salt Lake Temple...they also have the Bountiful, Timpanogas, Logan, Idaho Falls, St. George, & Manti Temples. The temple pic is 18" x 24" protected by a glassless finish and surrounded by a 4 1/2" chunky black frame. The total size is 26" x 32" - HUGE!!

The instructor will bring all of the supplies and will stay to teach the class. It should take 2-2.5 hours to finish. OH...and we will need someone to volunteer their house....since Jamie & I no longer have one there! :)

K....let me know if you want to make one and I will set everything up! They are pretty full for the Fall....so I would love to arrange everything for 'de winter months....probably in the days following Christmas.....before January hits! Jamie & I still need to figure out our entire Christmas "Vaca."

**EDITED TO SAY: I just found out that whoever sets it up....gets a free picture...BUT I was thinking that instead of MINE being free....we could take that $46 and make everyone's cheaper!! AND - if we can get even MORE than 10 girls together....I will see if they will take off even MORE money!! Never hurts to ask, huh!!

P.S. If you are "IN" - then let me know in the comments below. After I find out our schedule & more details from Poppyseed....I will get back with all of you!

Myrleen's YUMMY Cream Cheese Clouds...

2009-06-30T22:58:00.000-07:00

We are SOOO lucky to have Myrleen in our group! She sure takes care of us when it's her turn for treats! I seriously got excited when I looked at our sidebar to see who was bringing the treat!! (Remember her delicious goodies at our VERY first get-together!?!) Well, she is such a doll that she is sharing the recipe with all of us! We weren't able to snap a picture of the final product...since it was such a hit...but here is how to make it! Leave a comment for Myrleen if you try this! AND - email me a pic as well..then I can add it to this post! I am definitely going to make it this weekend!!

** EDITED TO SAY: Tara tried this and snapped the photo below...and YES...she knows the stars are supposed to be in the top left-hand corner! Oops!! This was YUMMY!!

Cream Cheese Clouds
1 pkg. 8 Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Whipping Cream (the liquid kind you have to whip)
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
1 t. Vanilla
Fresh Cut Fruit
Canned Whipped Cream or Cool Whip

Set the cream cheese out until it is room temperature. Blend first four ingredients together with blender. Put in cupcake molds (Michaels has stars, hearts, and others that you can buy for $9.99) and freeze for two to three hours. Serve frozen, topped with fruit and whipped cream (I like strawberries and blueberries for the 4th of july, but in September fresh peaches really hit the spot. Kiwi is yummy in the spring-St Patrick's Day, along with different types of melon balls, and raspberries work well too). For Valentine's Day, you can cut up strawberries, swirl canned whipped cream on top, then shave chocolate on top of everything, very romantic and hits the spot! And of course, you can put food coloring in with the cream cheese! If you come up with something, please share! I'd love to hear your ideas.

Happy 4th of July!!

Myrleen

INFO About April's Craft...

2009-04-28T11:53:00.000-07:00

I have *kinda* bad news. Due to circumstances beyond my control....I am unable to attend Craft Night this week. This poses a problem....since I am in charge! We will need to bump it to next Thursday. Please plan on Thursday, May 7th @ 6:30 P.M. I will have to see if the church will be available...if not, it will be at my house - but we will be doing it for sure on that date! I am SUPER sorry.

I have all sort of due dates & deadlines associated with my work as well as TWO weddings and a baby shower.....that will be fitting into the remainder of this week....and I finally realized that I can't be in more than one place at the same time. Yep, it has taken me this long to figure that out! Tee, hee.

Anyway - I know I will be home this Saturday for at least a few hours. If all of you could pretty please with a cherry on top....pick up your SPRING blocks between 12-2 on Saturday, May 2nd....I would love ya even more than I already do! I am just going to be in and out a TON the rest of this week and I would feel better if I knew you all had them in time. In case you forgot WHY you need them early....you will need to stain them at least TWO days prior to us all getting together!! Just use the regular stain that we always use....and they will look great! The earlier you stain them, the better!

The Craft for APRIL!!

2009-04-02T20:14:00.000-07:00

The "SPRING" blocks are done!! Wahoo!!

The final price comes to $36.68.

After purchasing the blocks, paper, rhinestones, ribbon, flowers, modpodge, and spray paint.....AND changing the embellishments again & again...to get the cost lower....this is what I came up with! Sigh!! I hope you all like them! {WINK!}

The pink & green are a LOT brighter in person....some of the pink is HOT pink and the green is a soft lime green. The button on the "R" is not included...that button alone is around $1.50. (If you want to get one for your blocks - I bought it at JoAnn Fabric.) Also - the flowers will vary...but don't fret...they are all still cute!

The due date for all the "GREENS" to be turned in will be April 9th - which is next Thursday. I will be placing the order for the wood the following day....fer sure! We can't afford to delay on the wood....or they won't have it cut out in time! You can put the money in the top part of our Winder Farms cooler if I am not home.

Jody & Allison - Set Up
Cassi & Natalie - Clean Up

Jody & Allison...I would love it if you can be there at 6:30 to help me set everything up. A HUGE thanks to the girls who helped set up and clean up last week....who weren't even signed up to do it! You ROCK!!

Materials:
- Sandpaper
- Paint brushes (the cheap-o "sponge" ones work great)
- Plastic lid or paper plate to put your paint on
-Electric Sander
- Scrapbooking Cutting Board
-Scissors (sharp ones that can cut ribbon)
-Pencil
-Scrapbooking Adhesive
-Stain & a rag to wipe it off
-Wet wipes - optional (I think wipes are GREAT when wiping off the sawdust after you use your electric sander.)
-The picture you want to display - optional

Reminders/More Info:
#1) If you are not coming on a night you signed up to help out...it's up to you to find a replacement & then email the instructor to let them know who will be taking your place. I know we don't always know our schedule ahead of time which is why some of us might be signed up on a night that we either can't come OR didn't want/need to do the craft, etc. The instructors are SO busy getting everything prepared...that it really helps them out when you can make sure those assignments are taken care of. Thank you for being so responsible and making sure your assignments are covered!

#2) I will be bringing the NEW schedule for the 2009-2010 year to our April get-together...be ready to sign up to TEACH as well as help out in the other areas!! :) We will be having a different instructor every month next year...so be thinking of what you would like to teach the rest of us. If you don't have any ideas...I can certainly help you out in that area as well as give you tips on where to get things. If you aren't comfortable being in charge of a craft all by yourself, then feel free to "team up" with another gal. I will do one of the crafts....so we will need 11 other girlies willing to take a month. SO...be thinking of the MONTH that you would like to do it as well as what craft you will be doing.

#3) I have only bought enough paint for the gals who paid for Option #1 & #3. If you told me you were bringing your own paint, pretty please do not use the paint that I bring...or we will not have enough for the gals who actually paid for it. Thanks a bunch!

OK.....see ya all NEXT Thursday!

Heads-Up: Wood Connection is super behind in their orders...which means I MIGHT not have the craft for April on display....cross your fingers that they can get it cut out for me in time...so ya'll can see it in person!! :)

MORE "Luck" Blocks...

2009-03-21T11:46:00.000-07:00

Some of the girlies in our group decided to put a little "spin" on last month's craft. They emailed me the final results...which I thought I should showcase here! Don't we have creative friends!

Myrleen's Blocks

Kajsa's Blocks

Brandee's Blocks

Cute, huh! I can't wait to take pictures and post all of the "spins" you gals do next week with the Scrapbooked Picture Frame!

Craft For 'De Month of March!!

2009-02-28T22:08:00.001-08:00

Presenting....the Scrapbooked Picture Frame!!

I will be teaching this for the month of March. Now - since I KNOW everyone has different color schemes in their homes....I have come up with a few "Ordering Options." I obviously made this craft to fit the color scheme of one of the rooms in MY house (dark red, black, and white)...and if it matches a room in yours....choose "Option #1." If not....browse thru the other ones and email me when you have chosen what works the best for you.

The ORDERING DUE DATE is:

March 6th - Friday

There are deadlines for ordering the wood AND the papers/embellishments, etc. may run out....so I can't accept orders after this date. Thank you for understanding and PLEASE email ASAP if you are interested.

OPTION #1: If you would like to do the entire project – AS IS – the total price is $23.00.
- - - - - -
OPTION #2: If you would just like me to order the frame for you and YOU would like to get your own embellishments, paint & paper – that will be $12.00.
- - - - - -
OPTION #3: If you would like me to order the frame AND get the paint and YOU would like to get your own embellishments and paper – that will be $13.50. The paint choices will be black, dark brown, white, and ivory.
- - - - - -
OPTION #4: If you would like me to order the frame, AND get the paint & embellishments – including ribbon and YOU would like to get your own paper – that will be $18.00.
- - - - - -
Addition “A”: If you would like to add a small vinyl saying to put on the frame - that will be an additional $2.00. You can choose from: Laughter, Memories, Love, Family, OR another short one-word saying (Just let me know what you would like it to be). You will also need to tell me what color you would like it to be – out of black, white, dark brown, ivory, white, and tan.

Addition “B”: If you would like a flower and a button for your embellishment (instead of the hearts) that will be an additional $1.50. The color choices are red, ivory, & black – for the flowers AND red, white, & black – for the buttons. (The $1.50 is just one button and one flower.)

(The frame is about 15 ''x15'' and the inside of the frame is about 9'' x 9'')

Our last Craft Night was another SUCCESS! Please make sure you thank Melissa....if you haven't already. The poor girly was sick and still pulled it all off! It's a LOT of work to coordinate a Craft Night....and she did a great job! Check back soon for pics AND some "spins" a few gals put on the craft...that night!

Some Pics From The February Craft Night....

2009-02-27T16:00:00.000-08:00

Look at our CUTE crafters! I wasn't even able to get a shot of everyone....a few of the gals were in another room....spraying & glittering their letters. We were just hangin' in the Primary Room! Thus the loads of chairs stacked all around us! :)

Don't forget to SIGN up for the next craft by MARCH 6th!!

THANKS!!

Awwwwww....Just LOOK At These Craftin' Chicks!

2009-02-03T21:05:00.000-08:00

There was some SeRiOuS Craftin' going on that night!!

FuN TiMeS!!

(We Missed Those of You Who Couldn't Make It!)

There Is Some "LOVE" Goin' On Up In HERE!!

2009-02-02T20:40:00.000-08:00

We've got some pretty crafty gals in our l'il club! Just look at the "spin" some of the girlies put on these blocks! Let's play....guess who dreamed this up...!?!

"Rocker Chick"...seriously....this just OOZES "sassy!"

(My camera does not show the COOL detail of the black paint on the HOT pink....super cute!)

"Home-y"...this looks DAH-LING...OH...and the owner would like everyone to know that the "E" was not quite finished yet! How dare I take a pic.....really!! {{WINK!}}

Hmmmmm...."Passionate??" Would that be the word to describe this one?? A certain hubby remarked after seeing this project, "Honey, isn't Valentine's Day supposed to be light and happy??" Tee, hee....

What a FUN project! Thanks again, K-girl!

Our February Craft...

2009-01-19T13:47:00.000-08:00

Look what's NEXT!!

I absolutely fell in love with these "Luck" blocks when I first saw them! Yes, it involves stain, paint, & glitter....BUT it is 10 times easier than our "Witch" blocks! Less letters and you don't have to carefully put a witch together!

Melissa will be teaching this craft in February...the sample will be on display on January 29th (YEP - we had to bump it TWO days back...because YM/YW have switched to Tuesdays!)- our next get-together...at which time you can sign up and pay the girls if you are wanting to do the "Luck" blocks.

The exact price, due date, etc. will be posted shortly...I will send out an email when it's up...just enjoy the picture for now and it's OK if you drool a little! I know, that are that cute, HUH!!

P.S. I know we have been doing a lot of "blocks" lately...but don't fret...MARCH has nothing to do with blocks! I DID have to throw in the "Spring" blocks...for one of the months...but I am sure you won't protest...they are adorable!

**EDITED TO SAY:
Here are the details for the UPCOMING February Craft Night...

The AMAZING "L-U-C-K" blocks will be $20. (Oh, wait...are we talking it up TOO much?? Well, Melissa did do a GREAT job and they are PRET-TY fabulous!!)

The DEADLINE...and ladies...it's a REAL DEADLINE...is Monday, February 16th. She will be ordering the blocks the next day. Please drop the money off to her CASA before then...I would also shoot her an email OR call her to let her know you are interested. If you need that info....email me.

We will be meeting at 'de church on Thursday, February 26 from 6:00-9:00. Please arrive ON TIME, since this project takes a little longer AND the men in 'de ward wanna play b-ball.

Materials to Bring:
-Sandpaper
-Electric Sander
-Brushes (there will be 5 different colors) NOTE: If you have any smaller paint brushes, it may make it easier to get into all the curls on the letters.
-Cool Whip lid/Paper plate, etc. (to put the paint on)
-Wood Stain (Early American)
-Rags
-Wood Glue

A BIG thanks to Karen for all of her hard work on the last Get-Together! Hopefully, you ALL thanked her!! We "HEART" you, girly!

See you all THEN!

Good 'Ole Rules...

2009-01-02T18:02:00.000-08:00

What the?? She moves!?!? How funny! I found this little lady while googling "Strict Teachers"...I wanted to get my point across...I hope she does the trick! {WINK!}

I knew that starting this club would be a LOT of work...and that after the first few months (or year...) I would be able to get a sense of what works, what to change, etc. We have SUCH a wonderful group...that we haven't really stumbled across a lot of problems...but a few have come up that we need to address before our next get-together.

#1 - (Cleanliness A) I believe we ARE taking more pride in keeping the church clean! I just want to remind all of you that if we have just ONE slip-up...we are officially kicked out! We have already been warned once...when we left a mess in the bathrooms. The instructors are in charge of making sure the gym and BOTH bathrooms are spotless. I don't want our lil 'ole club to be homeless...so pretty please with a cherry on top....let's keep 'er clean!

#2 - (Cleanliness B) Before you leave...you HAVE to clean up your own area! This means wiping up the place you were sitting, throwing away any trash you have, making sure there is NOT a mess on the ground around you, etc. One of our first times there, I was appalled to see that there was PAINT on the gym carpet! Luckily, we were able to get it out! Please remember that this is the Lord's house and we need to treat it with respect. I would be SO sad to glance down during Sacrament Meeting (Sigh...we rarely get a "cushy" seat on the benches...so you better believe Jamie & I will be in the gym...) and see PAINT or SAWDUST on the floor...or on my chair! GASP! Also - since we are all adults....we should practice what we preach to the chilluns - "Clean up yer own mess!" :) This also makes it easier on the ladies who signed up for Clean-Up duty! Remember: What comes around, goes around! You will be grateful when it's YOUR turn to clean up!

#3 - (Cleanliness C) We had a problem with SAWDUST when we did the Christmas Ladders! It was everywhere! It took FIVE of us, wiping chairs down, to get the job done! Some of us weren't even ON Clean-Up duty! When we use sanders in the future...please watch what you are doing and try to stay away from the walls and chairs. It's a LOT easier to vacumn sawdust up than to wipe down a million chairs. Plus - how many of you would like to sit on sawdust in your lovely Sunday dress?? Any takers?? Me, either! :)

How am I doing on my Soapbox? I am just gettin' started. Tee, hee! You should hear me when I am talking to my naughty students! Don't worry...they know they are loved...and they get a hug, a smile, and kind words after they have repented.... :)

#4 - (Cleanliness D) When we did the Christmas Ladders, there were a TON of ladies who were brand new. That is WONDERFUL! There is one teeny, tiny problem with "newbies"...they may not know the rules. I am ALL for making new friends and having new people join our club...as long as they know how hard we are all working to keep this club rolling. If you are bringing someone new, or have invited a friend...it is up to YOU to make sure they either read this particular post OR are fully informed of our spectacular RULES before attending. You will see more reasoning behind that in the next part....

#5 - (Sanders) We will all need to bring our OWN sanders from now on...or be prepared to sand by hand. More than one sander was ruined the night we did the ladders. (Boy, did we learn a LOT of lessons that night or what??) Some of these sanders were brand-new! I am all for sharing...but after 5 months of sharing my sander...not only have I burned thru quite a few of my velcro sanding paper...but the edges of my own sander are pretty beat up....so I can completely see where a few of the gals are coming from when they told me about their sanders! Now, if you still want to share with a friend...that's fine, but sanders will no longer be provided by the instructors. If Santa forgot to bring you one for Christmas...don't worry....there is always Valentine's Day! Tee, hee! I can just picture it now.

"Honey, do you know what would be SOOOO romantic for you to get for me for Valentine's Day?

"Hmmm? What's that dear?"

"I would just LOVE it if you suprised me with a fabulous SANDER!" {Squeal with delight!}

"Uh...Ok?!?" (Thinking..."MAN - my wife is COOL!)

Ok, Ok...so maybe that's not how it would play out...but anything is possible...

#6 - (Time Limit) We will have to have a "closing" time specified by the Instructor of the month. I would suggest either 9:30 or 10:00 to those of you who are teaching in the future. It will all depend on the craft, of course. This coming month...and some other months in the future...there will be more than one craft offered. Please realize that you may not complete ALL of the crafts while with the group. Try not to take on too much and then if you do sign up for more than one craft...be prepared to take home any unfinished projects you may have....when the magic "Cinderella" time strikes (or in other words, clean-up time..). We have decided this rule needs to be put into place to avoid further frustration on the part of the Clean-Up Crew. I am hoping that if the Instructors specify their clean-up time in advance...that the rest of you will keep an eye on the clock and immediately clean up your area when that time strikes!

#7 (Sign-Ups) I am probably starting to sound like a broken record...but I will just say it one more time. We ALL need to be signed up to help out in some way! Who wouldn't like to just show up, make a craft, and go home?? BUT - this is a club, not a class...which means everyone helps out. I have the sign-ups on the right-hand side of this blog. You can refer there to see what you have signed up for...as a reminder...and what you can sign-up for in the future. If you have NOT signed up for anything...let me know what you would like to do ASAP....or I get to decide for ya! Tee, hee! Also - if you are new...and everything is full....we ALWAYS need more people on "Clean-Up" duty...just let me know what days work for you and I will add you on!

#8 (Have fun!) I know, I know....WHAT?? Yes, this is a rule! I just want to remind you all that this is supposed to be F-U-N!! I don't know about YOU ladies....but my hubby encourages me to have "nights out with my girls." He is all about letting me be girly when I need it. I do the same for him. In fact...right now, he is downstairs watching the UTAH game with a bunch of his buddies....yelling their precious heads off! Guys need to be guys and girls need to be girls. I realize that children come...and so do the responsibilities...BUT...I have plenty of friends with young ones....even babies....who allow themselves a day or two during the month to pretend that they don't have a care in the world....and come laugh their darling little heads off during our "Girl's Nights." They have simply discussed the events in advance with their husbands. The husbands put it into their schedules...and my g-friends are able to enjoy a night on the town without worrying about bedtime, bottles (pumping in advance), crying, baths, etc. Plus, I believe that this makes the husbands appreciate their wives just a little more! You all deserve a little "me" time!

SOOOOOO....please come to make a fun craft, enjoy chatting with other ladies, and eat some yummy food! The outline for the year is on our sidebar...so it will be more convenient to plan ahead for our upcoming get-togethers.

Any questions....just shoot me an email, leave a comment, or call me on the TEL-E-PHONE. See you girlies soon! Laters!

Preparing for the "Get-Together"..

2008-12-28T11:55:00.000-08:00

SOOOO....those of you who are meeting at my house on January 8th to finish the scrapbooked calendar - I have EDITED my previous post to include what you can do to prepare for our upcoming get-together. I actually already finished mine....so I can be of more help...and I get to chat it up more while you all work! Tee, hee! Check out below to see what you should do on your own so we will all be on the "same page" when you arrive. I believe we finished July....and we will be starting with August when you arrive. (Don't forget - we skipped May!) PLUS - then we can enjoy each other's company a little more rather than rushing to get 'er done! See ya soon! Email me if the directions confuse ya! Laters!

The FINAL Scrapbooked Calendar

2008-12-10T16:06:00.000-08:00

I decided to post pics of all of the months...for a few reasons.

ONE: So those of you who have plenty of paper at home already....and aren't doing this with us, can use the designs and copy them to make your own. I know, I know...you LOVE me, huh!

TWO: So those of you who ARE doing this craft can be assured of the "cuteness" factor...and be grateful that I am doing the shopping AND cutting for you!! Tee, hee!

AND THREE: So that when I am old and gray...and too exhausted to make crafts...I will have PROOF that once upon a time, I WAS able to produce darling items! {WINK!}

JANUARY

(Notice the CUTE embossed white paper!!)

FEBRUARY

MARCH

APRIL

MAY
-Glue the two white squares inside the two turquoise squares
-Cut out the three flower heads - two purple and one blue
(One of you may have two blue and one purple)
-Cut out three leaves
-Cut out anything that is traced...on some of your kits...I only traced one item...and you get to trace the other one or two...
-OPTIONAL - I drew a line inside everything with my pen. I took some up-close pics so you can see what I mean. If you would like to do this step - it would go a lot faster if you came with this already done. I added the "stitched lines" later - the ones that go onto the background paper. P.S. I have your stems...I forgot to stick them in your bags! So - bring a pen with you to draw the lines on those! :)

-Ruler - draw on the inches. I just "eyed" it...it really doesn't have to be perfect.

-You could also glue the three yellow centers in the middle of the flowers.
-Don't worry about putting anything else together. Just cut everything out and draw your lines on everything...and we can go from there!

JUNE

JULY

AUGUST
-On this one, you can draw the lines/dots on the sun early. The sun is supposed to look a little funky! Lisa's hubby (who helped cut them out) couldn't understand why anyone would want a sun that looks like this! Tee, hee! That's all you need to do on this one!

SEPTEMBER
-September is inked! I used dark brown and I inked the apple, the leaf, ONE long side of the green polka-dotted pattern (and both of the short sides), all of the edges of the striped pattern, ONE long side of the diamond pattern as well as the two short sides, and then ink all of the edges of the tan background. If you are NOT inking...then kudos to you...cuz you are ready with this month! :) P.S. Feel free to "clean up" things that were previously cut out...like Lisa & I mentioned...husbands AND school aides were helping....

OCTOBER
-MORE inking! I used black on this month.
-You will need to ink the top & bottom of the orange "Halloween Words" strip, the plain oatmeal-colored & orange rectangles, the oddly-shaped striped paper, the the white "Pick of the Patch" paper & the smaller oatmeal-colored rectangle, AND the 6 weird orange shaped. Believe it or not, but they will become the darling pumpkins above! I would try to round out any sharp edges before you ink! I will show you how to put them together when you come over.
As for the words...
Unfortunately, I use chipboard to spell out my "Halloween" words. It's super expensive and would've tacked on another $5.00 to each calendar! (You have to buy the whole alphabet.) I recycled these letters from my previous calendar. I typed up the word "Halloween" for each of you and stuck it in your bags...and you can do this four ways...#1) you can either cut out each letter, #2) you can use your cutting board to cut the white paper around the word so "Halloween" is centered, #3) you can type up "Halloween" on your OWN computer and print it off in the font of your choice, or #4) you can purchase some chipboard letters to use. Personally, I would recommend #2!! Lisa finished hers early with me...and she just trimmed up the white paper and inked the edges and it was darling!

NOVEMBER
This month is easy...no prep work!

DECEMBER

This month is also easy - no prep work!

See ya soon!

Supplies & Info for the December Craft

2008-12-09T19:09:00.000-08:00

Alright ladies! Details: We will be meeting at Myrleen Wright's house at 6:30. I will email her address to you. (I feel better about that then posting it public-ly on this blog!) For the gals making the Calendar - my goal is to get through the first SIX months...and then we can all chat and see what you would like to do about the remaining six months. For the gals making the Christmas Picture Frame, you will definitely be finishing your project that night! I would like to be done (or stopping) by 9:30....I know, I know...we COULD go on all night!

{{Hello "Witch" blocks, again!!}}

Here are the materials you will need for the Scrapbooked Calendar:

(I left the prices on some of them...if you enlarge the photo, you may be able to see it better. Heartland carries all of these...but I am sure Roberts, Michael's, or even Hobby Lobby carries them!)

A glue stick AND scrapbooking rolling tape (I use the one above. I believe it's around $6.00...but it adheres REALLY well!) You will need your gluestick to be SUPER permanent! I ran outta the above tape...and used a school gluestick on the last few pages of the Sample Calendar and it wouldn't hold it...so I had to go back over it with the E-Z Runner. If you get the one above - MAKE sure the case is pink or red...that works the best for what we are doing!

Pop Dots...I have used BOTH the one above AND the one below!

THIS one is my favorite kind!

Distressing Ink..there are several kinds you can use...the ones I use above are around a buck! You will need both a dark brown and a black!

You MAY possibly need a cutting board...but if you don't have one, don't worry about it. I have extras!

Scissors

A Stapler (with staples in it!!)

Black pen with an ULTRA sharp/pointy tip…if you are worried about messing up…bring a sharp pencil as well!

The materials you will need for the Christmas Scrapbooked Frame:

8x10 frame
foam brush
whipped cream lid
You MAY need red distressing ink (email Natalie)
pop dots AND adhesive tape (see pic above)
scissors
trimmer (see pic above)
pencil or pen

Two Options for Our December Craft....

2008-11-20T22:36:00.000-08:00

Ok - so I know the "Moneybags" calendar was a lot of money! As I said in my email to all of you - we now have two MORE affordable options!!! One is to make the Darling Christmas Frame Art...showcased above...that Natalie so GENEROUSLY volunteered to head up! {{Thanks, Nattie-girl!!}}

THEN - a few of the girls approached me afterwards with a great idea. (Karen McBride actually mentioned this idea earlier in the week...but I wasn't sure if it would work if you girlies wanted to use this as a Christmas present.) They were wondering if we could do it in two sessions. I don't mind because it would be less work for Lisa & I right now! Keep reading to see how this could be a more affordable option that wouldn't force you to sell all of your belongings... (By the way - those of you who wanted to do the full calendar - we could still get all the materials for you - no worries.)

I broke down each month - and the average price for a page layout is about $3.00. Some of the layouts are more and a few are less. The calendar itself that you put the layouts in is about $12.00. THEN - you add tax on top of that. (Are ya seeing how this all starts to add up??)

With this NEW option, you could get the calendar and the "January" THRU "May" pages right now for $28.36. How does that sound?? THEN - the last seven months would be $26.04. We would probably do that one in March....I will just bump the craft we originally had planned on back!

SOOOOO - I was supposed to order the calendars on Friday so they would be here in time for our "Get-Together." The wonderful lady over at Heartland Paper is giving me a "grace period" until Monday to get back to her. I REALLY need to know ASAP which craft...if any...that you are doing. I am pretty sure Natalie will be able to keep the Christmas Frame under $15...and maybe even under $10 depending on how cheap she can get the frame!! Please email me ASAP...which means right now....tee,hee...and let me know. If you are planning on doing a calendar - I will need you to drop off your money BEFORE Sunday night ends - November 23rd. (Just put it in the top of our Winder Farm cooler...and then email me to let me know it's there.) I will need to deposit those in my Craft account Monday morning because I have to prepay for the calendars.
Hopefully this helps out with the good 'ole Christmas budget!!

AND THE WINNER IS....

2008-11-20T22:26:00.000-08:00

Yeah!!! We officially have a NEW name. You gals decided on "Gettin'Her Craft On" for our Craft Club name! {{Were you influenced by the title of this blog??? :) }} I liked most of the names that were submitted...OK....I did have my top three that I was rooting for....but I wanted to make sure you gals all liked our name as well!!

Tonight was a SUCCESS! A HUGE thanks to Melissa & Trish for putting in so much time & effort! I hope you all thanked them....they spent a LONG time figuring out how to put everything together & their hubbies were even recruited to cut the wood. My dream for this club...(just putting it out there)...is that NEXT year...we will have a DIFFERENT instructor EvErY month!! It's so much work to prepare everything and that way no one would get burnt out!! (I am always here to provide ideas & tips.....)

Just an idea I thought I would throw out there! As far as tonight went...we did have a few problems with the cleaning up....I will SOON be posting on that...so check back!

SnEaK PeEk at the "Moneybags Calendar"

2008-11-17T21:34:00.000-08:00

My photoshop is down at the moment...thus the crooked pics.

(Plus I had a puppy playing tug-of-war with the camera strap!!)

They look even cuter in person...

The layout for JUNE...

April's layout.... (above)

Hmmmm...maybe February??

The month of INDEPENDENCE!!

Oops...how did that get in there?? Tee, hee...
(Our puppy was getting jealous and wanted his pic taken!!)

So there you have it...your little "sneak peek!" If you are interested in this calendar, you will need to bring the "greens" on Thursday...or a check will do... AND the Ziplock baggies...see the previous post. (I will have the final amount posted AND a sample out for display.)

Our FIRST Post...AND the November Craft!

2008-11-09T09:42:00.000-08:00

Here it is ladies...the blog you will want to read to stay up to date on what the Craft Club will be offering for the next craft, what the prices will be, and when the "greens" need to be turned in!

For November our instructors will be Melissa & Trish who have put together a DARLING Christmas Ladder. We will be meeting on November 20th at the church at 7:00. Please try to be on time because we will be CHOOSING a final name for our club! If you have deleted(accidentally, right??) Melissa's email on what to bring....you will need the following items: hammer, wood glue, scissors, pencil, foam brushes (there are 2 colors), something to put your paint on (cool whip lid, etc..), and sandpaper. You will be sanding the ladder to remove the rough edges so if you have an electric sander - bring it. Melissa bought one at Home Depot for $20 and she says it works great.

ALSO - Lisa & I are teaching December's craft...we are offering a Scrapbooked Calendar that will be on display. We are still trying to figure out the final price...but it will be between **EDITED TO SAY: $50-$55**. I am trying really hard to keep costs down...but I have already had to go to THREE different scrapbooking stores to find cute paper as well as trying to hit the sales! (The good news is that its DAH-LING!!)

IMPORTANT: If you think you will be interested in this craft, you will need to bring 12 gallon sized Zip-lock bags AND 12 sandwich-sized ziplocked bags. Please label all of them with your name AND the names of the 12 months. Example: One of the gallon-sized bags would say, "December - Tara"..and inside that would be a sandwich-sized bag that would also say, "December-Tara." Does that make sense? Email me if you are confused...that's just the easiest way I could figure out to keep everyone's little pieces for each month organized.

OK - I am excited to see all of you on the 20th! Happy craftin'!!
