January 2013 meeting

First of all may I wish you all a very Happy New Year.  Also it is now 1 year since Crazy 4 Crafts began.  To celebrate we decided to have 'Bucks Fizz' instead of tea to start the day.  As it had been snowing Pete put the champagne in the snow just outside by the door to keep it cold.  Everyone walked straight past it on the way in and never noticed it!!!!


I know everyone enjoyed though - Happy Birthday!!!



This months meeting was held on Saturday 19th January and the demo was done by Julia.  She showed us how to do a special folded card, thank you very much Julia.







We had quite a good turnout, especially as it had been snowing quite a bit - well done to everyone that got there and thank you.

December's meeting

This was held on 15th December.   'Christmas Lunch'  A big thank you to everyone that came and for the wonderful collection of food everyone brought along.  We also had a Secret Santa Present and Secret Santa Card.  Everyone joined in and from the feedback, everyone enjoyed themselves (main thing!).  We also had a game of Craft Bingo - the line was won by Wendy H, and the full house jointly between Jill and Carol, who walked away with lots of crafty things!













I would like to say a big thank to Sandy, who said a couple of days before the meeting that she would show us a quick demo.  This was an angel made out of a paper plate!  Once again, something really quick and easy.  Sandy thought everyone would have seen or done them before, but not us!!

Also, Anne brought along a cross-stitch picture that she had done sometime ago, so we could all see it.  What an amazing piece of work.  You really do have to see it 'in the flesh' to really appreciate it, but this picture gives you a good idea!  Thank you Anne for sharing it with us.



May I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very healthy, wealthy and happy New Year.
