Small Beginings


We had our first meeting this past Monday (12th of October) and although the turnout was small we had a very good time. Vivian Popenhagen from Scrapbooks and Such in Odessa, Texas was our first guest speaker. We had three attendees and learned about scrapbooking special events. We also had refreshments and gave out four really nice door prizes. For those of you who missed this first meeting, we hope you'll attend next month.

We met at Barnes & Noble back in the cooking section and also shared the many magazines that Barnes & Nobles carries each and every month! Michael's of Midland provided a lovely dried flower arrangement in a rooster embellished vase. It was the favorite door prize. Scrapbooks and Such gave away a complete set of scrapbooking tools including scissors, a hammer, an eyelet set, embossing tools, glues and other goodies.

One guest won a complete set of Autumn themed double sided designer papers from Imagine That in Roswell. Cerise Welter donated these to be raffled.

Another attendee won a tape runner from Office Depot. Also donated by Cerise Welter.

Next month our tentative plan is to discuss photography in scrapbooking. We will have a professional photographer and artist as our speaker. More details will be posted as they are available. Do contact Cerise Welter for more information at cerwelt@gmail.com.
