May Meeting

Thank you Chrissy for the invitation to make a patriotic stepping stone for our May meeting. I will be delighted to attend the meeting. If I can help you with anything, please let me know.

Wedding Bells are a VERY good thing!

Elisha has done it! She's now a Wilson girl!

This evening, Elisha married Jeff, Cheri's brother and Cindy and my cousin. Congrats to both Jeff and Elisha for saying "I do!" in such a beautiful, loving and God-pleasing way. Elisha made a beautiful bride (and Jeff's handsome, too!)

By the way, they weren't the only smiling couple there! Love's such a good thing! Here's Cheri and Eric.

April meeting update

So... We haven't heard from Tami and Bonnie doesn't yet know about her husband's schedule. The only official "no" we have is from Elisha, who has a really good excuse -- her honeymoon! The rest of us will be there with bells on! :0)

Don't forget to bring a small photo, some scrapbooking adhesive (like Mono adhesive) and some cash... I'll provide the rest. Odds are the project will end up being around $2.

See ya next week...
and for Tammi and Bonnie, I'll be making my supply packets Thursday evening. If you RSVP before then, you are welcome to do the project. If not, you can still come, but I won't have paper cut for you.

April 8 Meeting

I hope everybody had a good Easter. it seems like a million years since I've seen some of you. I miss all my Good Things friends! Good thing our next meeting will be here before we know it. :-)

Please let me know if you do or do not plan to attend the meeting at 7 p.m. April 8 at Tracy's house by April 1. I have to prepare supplies for you to create ultra cute scrapbook-like creations. I've included a glimpse of what I've got planned below. It should be a fun evening!...

You will need to bring scrapbook adhesive, sharp detail scissors and a small, small photo -- no bigger than 2 by 2. The rest of the supplies should cost under $5... I'm still working out the details.

RSVP by making a comment here. Thanks!

Egg-stra special time!

What a fun evening. I'm sad some of you didn't make it, but for those of us who did, we had an "egg-stra" special time learning how to create the Ukranian eggs. Kristen did a great job sharing her craft with us. Thanks Kristen for being our guest!

Here's what we did:

1. We ate! And we got to know our newest member, Elisha!


2. We met Kristen!






3. We sketched!







4. We used a "kiska" to put wax on our eggs in the design we sketched.








5. We melted the wax and wiped it away, leaving either the white of the egg shell or the dyed color we started with. (So ultra cool.)

hi good things gals-I will be serving savory and sweet treats on the 11th, so make it dinner!
see you next week. Chrissy

March Egg-stravaganza!

Hey everybody!

Let's get together 7 p.m. March 11 at Chrissy's house to learn the art of Ukranian Easter egg decorating, called pysanky. One of my staff members at The Bee learned this art from her Ukranian grandmother. She has agreed to share what she knows with us and let us try a very simple design.

Supplies: A No. 2 pencil
Fee: $5

Kristen will provide everything. I'll provide the eggs.
