Hey gals,
We had the third meeting of PB & J at "Scrapbooks and Such" in Odessa, TX. Vivian couldn't join us as she is also a very busy pediatric nurse and was on duty that night. Her mother, Jackie, graciously opened the store and then after we were through allowed us to shop "after hours".
We had a contest to see who could wrap a package so well that no one would want to open it. Vicky won. (See illustration) I picked the gift (random drawing ) after we all voted her gift, "Present we least wanted to tear into." When you look at it you'll swear she used duct tape for the sleigh, but it isn't gals, it's silver textured card stock. I should have known it wasn't duct tape as it was much too wide for any roll of tape I've ever seen.
Vicky also made the most delicious oatmeal chocolate chip blondies I've had in ages. Then she whisked it away after the meeting. :(
The meeting was all about recycling everyday stuff in your paper crafting. I demonstrated how you can use cereal boxes, tablet backs, Puff's Vicks boxes (they are made of chipboard lined in silver) and a whole lot of other good stuff. The thing the girls were most impressed with was making a small gift bag/grocery bag from half of an envelope. Perhaps I'll figure out how to photograph the process and post it here. My little sister showed me this goodie!
Our next meeting will be at Barnes & Noble in Midland, TX. We've moved it to the second Tuesday of the month after a vote was taken. We'll try Tuesday for a while. Thanks to Joyce at Barnes & Noble we can pretty much have our meeting whenever we want it.
Next month I'll be demonstrating heat embossing techniques and also using calendars in scrapbooking and paper crafting. If you're coming and have used either in what you do, please come with your favorite ideas and a sample of your wares.
Hope you can make it.
Signing off for now.
