Hello!

Hello everyone.

Just so you dont think we Scrapladies have forgotten you all out there. We are working very hard on our next project, and hopefully a website that will be up and running in the near future too.

Dont forget, if you think you are too far away to come to one of our events, if you get enough friends together and somewere to have it, we may be able to come to you. Julia is really good at navigating, I consider it an achievement to find my way to work each day, and we both have cars (o gosh I've just jinxed them now).

:-)

We have pictures!

I had a great time last Sunday, thanks to everyone who came, Jan for catering for us again and Julia for letting me join in the fun.

Now, I hope Scraplady Julia is sitting down, this is going to come as something of a shock to her and those who know my non-techniness when it comes to mobile phones. Not only did I take some photos with it on Sunday, but I have just now figured out how to transfer them to my PC so you can all see them too.

So here I give you the two photos that came out in any recogniseable form, but hey they are the important ones - people busy enjoying themselves and a row of someones cards artistically laid out on the windowsill.

And dont forget, we are mad enough to do this again this coming Sunday, so if you are tempted - email Julia.

Star boxes and Sweeties

Miss Dunnit recycled some magazine covers using the power of Origami. They turned into star topped bowls for us to use at Sunday's Card Making Marathon. We used them to put everyone's sweeties in. I think I've said it before - it's against the law to go without sweeties at a 2 Scrap Ladies event.
The bowls (or are they boxes?) were an unexpected hit and several of you wanted to know how she did 'em. Yeah, like I'm gonna know that - I don't do folding, it requires accuracy.

Well, here's a link to a video instruction that I tested today. I understood it and managed it. So I know you can. That's the sort of person I am. To go to those sort of lengths.

That was fun...

If you were at the Marathon - thanks for coming, it was a fun day for Ally and me, and as usual, a culmination of work that frees us up to walk around and chat. Although, you were all so busy making cards that we were very aware of the interruption we caused! Entirely without prompting, I think two people said they were the best cards at a Marathon to date, and more than one person threatened to come again. So there we are, me and Scrap Lady Ally, relieved, happy that you enjoyed it and not a little smug that it went reasonably well. The hitch in the kitchen department was handled and sorted by lunch lady Jan (try this: hire a community centre with a kitchen bigger than my lounge....and discover it has not one piece of cutlery or a single dinner plate. Strange. It had beautiful teak tables that caused me to fret a bit, but not so much as a teaspoon. Jan saved the day. She just dealt with it by going to my house and getting some. So if you ended up eating with my best bronze cutlery - consider that the dinner party I never have!

I didn't take a single picture - if you did, - please email me a couple! Ally and I will post some of the cards as reminders...meantime, thanks y'all. And we'll keep you posted!

Well friends, if you're coming to the Christmas Card Marathon on Sunday, you should have received an email from me (Scrap Lady Julia) containing directions and a 'things to bring' list. Us 2 Scrap Ladies are really looking forward to seeing y'all.....and good news; Lunch Lady Jan seems confident that she'll be there too! One last thing...if you wanna come..despite the kitting process that's been underway all week - it's not too late!

Oh how utterly fab. Food, useful crafting and company. See ya!
