December 2nd

I hope that everyone has had a great month and that you are all ready for our next get together which is the Christmas Fuddle. Could everyone coming along bring a little something for everyone to have a nibble at, a packet of biscuits, homemade cake, a bag of sweets etc. I will along some throw away plates and some serviettes.

Date and Times
Derby Dabblers have their next get together Friday, 2nd December from 6.30 - 9.30p.m.
Venue
St. Martins Church Hall, Flint Street, Allenton, Derby DE24 9BG. If you need directions, please let me know.
Theme for the evening
The theme for this week is a free for all. Well what I mean is that you can bring along anything that you wish to do. If you dont fancy doing any crafting at all, just come for a cuppa and a natter.
Other crafts
Dont forget, you dont have to do card making or scrapbooking to join in the fun of Derby Dabblers. If you knit, make jewlery, crochet or anything else please feel free to come along chat to everyone there whilst doing the craftting of your choice.
Price
The price for the evening will be £3.00 for adults and £2.00 for teenages.
Show and Tell
Please bring along any cards or scrapbook pages or anything else that you may have done recently as everyone loves to look at what has been created but, be warned, you may need to tell everyone how you made it.
For Sale or For Swap
If you have any crafting items that you wish to sell or swap for something else, you are most welcome to bring them along to see if anyone on the night may want to purchase/swap with you.
Freebies
If you have any items that you no longer use and they are taking up valuable space in your crafting area, please bring them with you on Friday night. There will be a FREEBIES table where you can put your unwanted items and I am sure that there will be others there that may be able to use them. If you know of a local school/nursery or charity that may make use of anything left on the table at the end of the evening, you will be welcome to take them along.

There wont be a get together in January as the hall is always booked out for the Drama Group so this will be our last get together for 8 weeks. It would be really great if you could come along, even for an hour to say hello to everyone and its a great opportunity to pass on Christmas cards.

We usually have a secret santa but that wont be happening this year but, as mentioned above, if you have anything you dont use anymore, please feel free to bring it along and pass it on to someone who may be able to use it.

I have had a word with the caretaker of the Church Hall and she has told me that there is a problem with the light outside the entrance door. I shall bring a torch with me on Friday as it is very dark, if you want to bring one too, please do. I am hoping it will still be light enough when we all arrive and I am happy to walk people to their cars at the end of the night, with my torch, that will scare the kids. I have also been shown how to turn the heating up.

If you are thinking of coming along for the first time please do come and join us. It is a wonderful social evening, everyone is very welcoming and I am sure you will have a great night.

Please feel free to bring a friend or two with you next week and dont forget MUGS and BADGES.

If you have a problem opening this email, please let me know so that I can send it to you in another format, I wouldnt want you to miss out on anything.

It would really be appreciated if you can let me know if you will be coming along to this get together so that we know how many we are catering for.

Hope to hear from you soon

Apologies, Apologies

I'm really sorry that there was no Spondon Dabblers last Friday. The Amateur Dramatic Society had booked it for their production and they had hired all the rooms. The next Spondon one is on 11th November. Once again, Anne and I are sorry for the cancellation at short notice.

See you all soon

Spondon Dabblers 21/10/11

Good morning Ladies

Well what a change in the weather from last weekend.  I think the summer has finally left us. 

Last night was our Derby Dabblers in Allenton and it was a great night.  I caught up with lots of people who I'd not seen for ages.  We also made a 'bag in a box' which was really very easy to make and is just the ticket for putting a present in.   I know I am a bit quick in sending out information for Spondon Dabblers but I thought I'd do it whilst I had a bit of time
It's our Spondon Dabblers get together in just under 2 weeks  and below are all the usual details.

Date and Times:

• Friday October 21st  at 18:30 - 21:30 
• Venue: Spondon Village Hall
• Cost  £3.00 per adult  (which includes tea, coffee & biscuits)

If you need directions, please let me know.

Theme for the night
The theme for this month is Autumn colours. As usual, you don't have to follow the theme,  you can bring along your own project to start or finish. Don't forget,
if you just want an evening without crafting, that is fine too as there are so many people to sit and chat with that I am sure you will still have an interesting night.

Show and Tell
Please bring along any cards or scrapbook pages or anything else that you may have done recently as everyone loves to look at what has been created but, be
warned, you may need to tell everyone how you made it.

For Sale or For Swap
If you have any crafting items that you wish to sell or swap for something else, you are most welcome to bring them along to see if anyone on the
night may way to purchase/swap with you.

Demonstration
Yet to be deceided upon - if you have any ideas please e -mail me

Badges, drinks and mugs
There may be one or two new people joining us again so it would help if we can all try to remember to wear a badge with our name on
and don't forget  to bring your own mug for your drinks, but if you forget your mug  there is a limited supply in the cupboard.
If the parent/responsible adults of the teenagers let me know what the youngsters would like to drink, I can make sure that we have something
available.
It would really be appreciated if you can let me know if you will be coming along to this get together so that we know how many
we are catering for.

here are  my efforts of making a bag in a box

Looking forward to hearing from you

DERBY DABBLERS 7th OCTOBER

Dont the first Fridays of the month come round quickly. Its hard to believe that its nearly October.

We are meeting up again on 7th October at St. Martin's Church Hall, Flint St, Derby. The theme for the evening will be halloween so that means bats, witches, brooms and everything else associated with it for both card makers and scrapbookers. As usual, you dont have to follow the theme, just bring your current projects along to finish or maybe start something that you have been holding back on for a while.

There will be a demonstration on how to make a bag in a box. The demonstration will start at 7.15p.m. To make the bag in a box (something I have wanted to have a go at for ages), you will need the following items:

Cardstock for the base 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"
A scorer (scorepal or hugie) or a ruler and an embossing tool
Bone Folder (if you dont have one I am sure you can borrow one on the night)
Strong sticky tape - preferably the red one but I dont think that wet glue will be easy to use on this project
patterned paper 5 1/2" x 11"
card that matches patterned paper 11" x 1"
A border punch (I will bring mine if you dont have one)
Bits to decorate your bag
Ribbon to tie it up with
Tab punch if you have one and some card to make tabs, preferably the same as your 11"x1" (I shall bring my punch with me).

The price, as usual, is £3.00 per person and £2.00 for teenages. Dont forget your mugs, badges and anything you have made recently to show everyone.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please get in touch.

Everyone welcome and hopefully, some ladies that I met at the papermax show last Sunday will be joining us.

Speaking of the papermax show, here are a few photos for you





Looking forward to seeing you there

Spondon Roadworks

Ladies, if you are coming to Spondon on Friday I just wanted to make you aware that there are overnight roadworks in the village that start at 7pm and may present a small problem, I have been assured we will be able to get out when we are done, we may have to go the long way round though and getting in won't be a problem.
