Bummed I missed Thursday night

I'm bummed that I missed Thursday night. Would have loved to see Joanna & Linda & Kathryn & little baby Sean!!! Sure, the one night I miss, EVERYONE'S there. Oh, well. Sounds like it was a great time & I'm looking forward to seeing the photos.

It sounds like the whole crafty thing is taking off. Crocheting? I like it!

Glad to see Ma-1 is blogging!!

I lied, Vickie's husband attended a girls' night. Forgot.
Anyway, by jove! I think I've got it!
blog on.

I don't know if this is going to work or not, so I will keep it brief so as not to waste my time and lose what I enter. Thursday evening was a lot of fun. Guest starring cousin Joanna and Uncle Cap's photo album, my sister-in-law Linda, niece Kathryn and her 1 mo. old Sean ( first and only male to attend our girls' night out ).
more later if this ends up being posted.
what a hassel - forgot my password...........
thanks for the instructions, Ju.

Happy New Year

Just wanted to wish my "girls" a Happy New Year. Looking forward to our next meeting. And I will be sure to bring the baggie driers that "Auntie Margie" painted so beautifully on craft night. I think we're going to need another craft night to finish enough of these baggie driers for the rest of us. Looking forward to our next meeting. Anxious to see those Amish baskets Margie is now selling!

Merry Christmas!!

Just wanted to wish all my MaMaJuSaVi girls a Merry Christmas and and Happy New Year!! Have to set up our next get together soon, too!!

Arts and crafts night

Hi all of the MaMaJuSaVi group! I had such a great time at our "arts and crafts" night. What a great idea you had Vicky and thanks so much for offering your house for the evening. The setup down in the basement was absolutely perfect. I didn't realize how much art material you own. It's like a professional art studio. Here are some of the pictures I took during the evening.

Considering we all started out not having a clue what we're going to do or make, with the help of Vicky's directions we all dove right in on our projects. Of course, it didn't hurt to start out with a glass of wine. Here's Sandy and Marge with a glass of wine and foam ball.

We got the tour of the basement and some specific instructions on using the materials - paints, brushes, glue, glitter, etc. I'm not exactly sure what Vicky's holding here.

Here we are getting down to work. I'm a little mad at myself for not actually getting close-ups of the final art work. Sandy made a really nice center piece out of pine cones, ribbon and berries and I never got a shot of it. Also, Vicky came up with the idea for Marge to make plastic baggie drying stands. They came out really nice.

Vicky's definitely the most artistic of the group. Her painted styro balls were very professional looking.

Here I am. My painted pinecones were probably the least imaginative but, hey, I relaxed, had some wine and a great time.

Here we are on break with pizza and more wine. The pizza was delicious.

We even had a guest participant (no John, you can't join MaMaJuSaVi). His art project wasn't very imaginative - really, no pine cones and sparkles, come on John!

This is the best shot I have of the finished art work. Like I said, I should have taken a couple of good close-ups.

MaMaJuSaVi! We really missed you Mare.
