Happy Fall Y'all

Happy Fall Y’all!

Thanks to Amanda for the great craft hosting, even with a little boy with a rash!  We were missing quite a few of you, hope that everyone is getting better / doing well.   Most importantly, you missed the best pumpkin dip ever.  Amanda brought it and I am officially requesting that we have it at every craft event.  So Yummy!  Some of you may know, my sisters and I have a special place for all things pumpkin until Thanksgiving day when pumpkin overload has set in!

This week we made really cute door hangers and decorative plaques out of chargers.  My Mom managed to take a picture with her cell phone …. Not the best photo, but the outputs were very cute in real life. 

We were joined by two new crafters, Julia (Amanda’s sister) and Gail (Brooke’s mom).  We enjoyed having them and hope they will come back again soon!

So … ideas on the table for the next meeting/s –

• My Clay Ground – some of you may remember there was a group coupon thing, I think through plum district a few weeks ago.  http://myclayground.com/mainmenu.html  Thursday nights there are Ladies Night (Does this make anyone else break out into song .. "and I'm feeling right, oh yes its ladies night, oh what a night").  Thursday, November 3^rd, might be a good night.  After Halloween and trick or treating candy, everyone will probably be longing for a night out.  My Clayground requires an RSVP so, let’s take a vote and try to get a headcount.

• Kids Craft Club Event -  Brooke had a great suggestion of doing an event with the kiddos.  She suggested making holiday ornaments.   There are a really cute christmas tree made of footprints on pinterest and hand print santa and moose pictures.  I am not sure if someone feels they have room to host this?  I do not think that my house will hold us and the kiddos.  I would be glad to handle a craft or craft station if someone else wants to host? 

• Jewelry Making – Gail suggested hosting at her home in the near future and making another kind of jewelry.  Gail is one of the craftiest ladies I know!  She does wire wrapping, so neat.

• Gingerbread House making - Julia suggested this great idea.  I have to admit I initially said this would be a good kiddo event ..... maybe not with all the sugar and candy.  Barb, a fellow crafter, has four daughters.  Every year the Taylor girls and Lovatt girls try to get together for gingerbread making.  Nothing fancy, we just use graham crackers, but it always becomes one huge giggle fest and sugar overload and we are adults.  I would love to learn how to make a real ginerbread house, and get some practice in ..... the Taylor/Lovatt girls sometimes get a little competitive with all the sugar over load and maybe this year I can win. 

So these are the ideas on the table.  Without Laura there to keep me on track, I did not book the next meeting, but I have faith that we can figure it out over email.

Best,

Portia
