Sweet Tooth Callenge

What a fabulous night of creativity! There were so many creations! Posted in order by artists; Leslie, Carla, Joanne, Linda, Wendy, Sonja, Bobbi, Marcia, Amanda, and Suzie.

Reminder! March Sweet Tooth Challenge!

As a group we agreed that the penalty for not creating a challenge will be increased to 10.00! Everyone hopes we see many creations in lieu of dollars!

Challenge Reveal nights are also troubleshooting nights. Bring a piece that you are working on and another member will probably be able to help you out!

A little ribbon work.....

With some heavy concentration we began our first scheduled play date. Thank you to Jo and Leslie for sharing your talents!

Leslie shared some books that members may find useful if you wish to delve into even more ribbon work.

A year of Creative Endeavours....

January's Meeting was spent planning the year ahead...

New Business
-Welcome to new member Bobbi!
-Welcome back to Marcia!
-As a group we decided we would like to spend each meeting as more of a play date! Each month Members have volunteered to share their creativity and skills. Refer to the schedule to find out what each months focus will be.
-We also decided that Challenge Reveal nights would be troubleshooting and open work nights. Bring your tools and that piece that is stumping you..... another member can likely help you out!
-It was agreed that fees would increase to $35.00/year
-We decided we would pursue inviting someone in to teach this year. Marcia will contact artists and invite them to submit a proposal. We will review at a later date.

Please remember to contact Carla if you are unable to attend. If it is your night to host please make arrangements to swap with another member.
