Alma and her jazzy little snow girl.
I am starting this blog post with our adorable snow people Make and Take.

Elena and Kathren
Kathren sponsored this fabulous Make and Take. She not only brought everything possible to make the little people, but also shared all her knowledge on how to get the best snow person possible.

Here’s Alma and another new member, Marji, having fun making their snow people.

We had so many snow people, that we created a cute little village.  Check out the slide show to see all of these fascinating people in their winter best.

Denise made this adorable basket from a peat pot. 
You know, something you might normally use to grow a seedling.  Not Denise, she found another clever use for a peat pot.IMG_0892
Alma created some fun cards.

This beautiful art piece started out as plain wood and was transformed by Alma.  Gorgeous!

  Alma went on an art retreat with some of her close girlfriends.  They each made tags with a picture of themselves.  When all the tags were put together, they each ended up with an awesome tag book like this.  What a cool keepsake of a memorable occasion.

Cynthia recently took a class from Julie Nutting.  It was a tag class where she learned how to make these sweet little girls.  Each girl is just a little different and oh so precious.

She was having so much fun with her girls that she decided to make a canvas.  These are her cute little brave girls.

Kat took the same class with Cynthia and here are her tags.

This month’s kit includes Christmas papers from Graphic 45.  Distress Stickles from Ranger, a glitter pen, wooden letters from Kaisercraft and several different glittery ribbon trims.

Special thanks to our friend Debby for bringing a big bag full of Copic Markers for all of us to share.  Each of us picked out four markers.
You are so so generous!  Thanks again Deb.

Next month is our Holiday Celebration and Meetup
We will not be sharing projects, however we will still have a Make and Take and a Kit.  This is a regular scheduled meeting and is considered one of the three meetings for this cycle.

Things to remember:
  • DATE AND LOCATION CHANGE IN DECEMBER TO DECEMBER 14TH, AT ALICIA'S HOUSE IN RANCHO PENASQUITOS. (You should have received her address in an email.)

Happy Holidays!
