Missed you all last night


I really missed not coming to Dabblers last night as I love to see everyone as the commeraderie is great. But just needed to catch up with myself after a busy weekend last week and then followed by a hectic week at work. All I did when I came home is 'mong' in the lounge lol apart from I did go to French on Wednesday as if I don'r speak French at least once a week I worry that I'll forget it!!! lol

The card is for a man and for those of you who've been round a while they will remember that is is similar to a card that we made at Tracey's first SU 'make and take' over 2 years ago at St Martins.

Well hopefully see you all at Arena on the 19th

My card from Dabblers

The last dabblers was a lovely evening, it was so nice to catch up with everyone and, like Lesley, I didnt get a lot of crafting done. In fact here is a picture of what I managed to do in 3 hours.


I was so busy chatting and looking at what everyone else had done. But tonight I have sat down and finished the card.

I am looking forward to going to the arena on the 19th. Hope to see you there

I started these at Dabbler and finished them yesterday!!!!



This must be a first - I started these a Dabblers Friday night and completed them yesterday. Clean and simple design. One of the large flowers is decoupaged but you can't see if from my photography :). What are your opinions?
have a great week and see you all at Arena on the 19th

Newsletter No. 14

A Happy New Year to all those that I haven’t seen or spoken to over the last couple of weeks. I hope that you had a nice Christmas. The snow has been and gone and I trust, is not about to return. Unfortunately the last Ilkeston meeting had to be cancelled due to the weather forecast, which was a shame.
FRIDAY 5 FEBRUARY
Derby Dabblers get together at St. Martin’s Church Hall in Allenton. 6.00 – 10.00. The theme for the evening will be a colour one Red or Pink along with Black or Brown. Stamping,
Scrapbooking, cardmaking anything at all with these colours.
FEBRUARY CAKERERS
Are there a couple of volunteers for the catering for 2010 for the Derby Dabblers. There will be at least 10 get togethers . Would you please let me know if you can help out with either home made or shop purchased treats for the night and I shall compile a list of names, to hand out in February.
FRIDAY 19 FEBRUARY
Ilkeston Arena meeting. Jacquie will be looking after this one and will send out an e-mail separately with regards to the theme for the night. If you would like to be added to Jacquies e-mail list, please let me know.
THINKING ABOUT COMING ALONG FOR THE FIRST TIME
For those ladies, and gents, that are thinking about coming along to one of our evenings, thought I would let you know that Derby Dabblers is a non-profit making social meet up, for crafters. That includes total beginners, very experienced, those in-between, cardmakers, scrapbookers and anyone who enjoys creating with card/paper and all the other wonderful things that are available. At every event the cost of the room hire and drink is split between the number of people attending, so there is never a kitty. The maximum cost is £3.50 but the reality is normally £2.50 - £3.00. It all depends on how many people attend on the night.
Cakes and biscuits are provided by two ladies at each meeting. This will rotate until we have all brought something in.
At the meetings you will always need a name badge (if you remember) a cup/mug, basic kit (cutting mat, scissors, pencil, ruler, sticky stuff etc.) plus whatever else we are doing on the night. We meet the first Friday of each month at St. Martin’s Church Hall, Flint Street, Allenton from 6.00-10.00p.m. You don’t have to be there by 6.00p.m. and you don’t have to stay until 10.00p.m. and the third Friday of the month and the Arena in Ilkeston from 6.30 – 9.30. You are welcome for the whole evening or just part of it.

Can I ask you to let me, or anyone else at Derby Dabblers know that you are coming along so that we can make sure that there are enough table and chairs set out

Look forward to seeing you there
