.:November Craft Group:.

Alright ladies, here is the craft for November.


With the supplies I've bought so far, each person can have up to nine ornaments. You can see I only used seven. The example I showed used five. It's up to you!

My list of people participating so far is the same:

- Sarah S.
- Stacy
- Stacy's sister
- Sarah N. (2)
- Lindy
- Melissa
- Camilla

Does anyone know of anyone else who is interested in coming? I've bought all of the supplies already, but need to know soon if we need to adjust for more people.

As of right now, the price for each person is $5.25.

I got two colors of spray paint: gold and silver. If you want something different, you'll have to do it on your own. I figure those are both pretty neutral. Also, I have a variety of ornaments - there are the blues, purples, and pinks I used, but also lots of silver, gold, red, and green, too, if you want a more traditional look. It will be first come, first serve that nite!

November 11th @ 7:00 p.m. at my house!

Please let me know ASAP if you know someone else who wants to come. I said it before - but things are going to be incredibly busy for me starting tomorrow (we all are, aren't we?!?!) so my time to get out and get to the store is going to be quite limited. I need to know by this Friday at the latest!

.:November Craft Group:.

Alrighty, here's what I've got so far for November craft group.

We will be meeting on Thursday, November 11th, at 7:00 p.m. at my house.

You will need to provide your own frame (or wreath).

I will provide spray paint for your frame/wreath. I will probably have three colors, likely just generic colors that could go with most decor (i.e. silver, gold, red, etc.) If you want something different, then you'll have to do it on your own!

I will also provide the ribbon and ornaments.

Sarah N. asked about the size of the frame. I actually have no clue what size the frame I showed a picture is, but if I had to guess, I would say 11x14. I'm just going to assume we'll all be in that range for ribbon buying purposes.

Here's who I have down so far:

- Sarah S.
- Stacy
- Stacy's sister
- Sarah N. (2)
- Lindy
- Camilla
- Melissa

I don't need to know quite yet if anyone else is planning on coming, but in the next week or so would be great. My life is about to get kind of crazy with taking on some new responsibilities, and I'm kind of OCD about planning things, so the sooner you can let me know, the better!

Let me know if you have any questions!

November Book Club



Hey Girls! Sarah Armes will be hosting November's Book Club which is going to be "A Yellow Raft in Blue Water" by Michael Dorris. Sounds fun! With Thanksgiving being on the last Thursday of the month, we'll have to do it the 18th. I'm going to see if I can do a hold on multiple copies of the book at the library, so please don't try to put it on hold yet. I'll let you know if it doesn't work or if there are any changes. Thanks!

.:November Craft Group:.

Sorry I am kind of late with getting info together for this. October has flown by, and it has just been a crazy busy month!

I have a committment in Provo on November 4th, so I will probably have to do craft group on November 11th. I know there is something going on that nite that will conflict with craft group for some of us, but I don't know what else to do! Wednesdays are out for me because Josh has elder's quorum that nite and wouldn't be home to take my kids. So I'm sorry in advance for whoever this causes a conflict for!

Here is what I am thinking of doing:


I will not be providing frames. I am hoping that if you want a frame, you have one you would be able to bring. I am planning on using an old one I have. (I may have extra, but don't know that for sure at the moment.) It can really be as big or small as you want. I would provide spray paint for your frame.

If you do not want to do a frame, I can look into prices for wreaths. I may be able to find some at a dollar store, which would be awesome, but no guarantees. If you get Michael's or Joann's or Hobby Lobby's coupons, you may want to choose to pick up your own wreath so that you could use your coupon.

Please let me know what you would do/want me to do for that part of the craft.

I will provide all of the ribbon and ornaments for this door decoration. I will not be paper mache-ing all of them for us to paint like the ones shown (sorry, WAY too much work!) but I will still have something fun and pretty to hang.

I can't give you an idea on price yet, as I have not been to the store. But I will do my best to keep it $10 or under - I promise! I am a big coupon person, so I'll try to get as much as I can with my coupons.

Let me know your thoughts and preferences!

Help?

Hello Gals! There are a few new people who would like to join Book Club and I need to add them as contributors to the blog...anyone know how to do that??? Thanks!

P.S.Please invite any other neighbors and friends who you think would be interested in joining. The more the merrier!

Craft Club October

This is a reminder that craft club will be on October 7 @ 7:00 p.m. @ my home. As far as paint, I have the paint for the body, gobbler, and the black for the stand if you are doing it. I also have the glitter for the gobbler. The only paint you will need to bring will be for the feathers of the turkey, and the scrapbook paper you want to use. If you are wanting to do the same colors that they have on the turkey @ Wood Connection, you could share it with 3 or 4 people, you don't need that much, there are just 8 different colors. Here are the colors they used, all ceramacoat:

Tompte Red, Empire Gold, Pansy, Leaf Green, Navy Blue, Poppy Orange, Tomato Spice, and Purple.

Hopefully this helps, and it would be a good idea to share the feather paint with 3-4 people, unless you really like those colors and will use them again :)

Book for October...

The book I have chosen for October is "Sarah's Key," by Tatiana De Rosnay. I was worried that a lot of you would be board with Love Smart by Dr. Phil...

I hope everyone will get a chance to read it. I checked online, and I think if you put it on hold ASAP, you should all be able to get it and have time to read it. Most of you read the books very quickly, unlike myself, but I will read mine asap and can lend it out as well. Let me know if you have any questions - otherwise, HAPPY READING...

Plan on book club at my house on Thursday, October , 28 2010 @ 7pm.
