Friday 7th December

Ladies,

I know its early but the dates creep up on me faster than anything so I thought I would send the email out and you can put the date on your calendar.

Friday 7th December will be Derby Dabblers.  We will meet up for the last time in 2012, the next get together after this will be February 2013.As usual
we shall be at St. Martins Church Hall, Flint St, Allenton DE24 9BG.

The theme for the evening will be Christmas stamping.  Bring along any stamps that you are willing to share, card to stamp out on to, ink, cleaners and
anything else you may need to make some MORE Christmas cards or even a scrapbook page in readyness for the photographs you will take.  Not a paper
crafter?  Then get out the bling of jewelery, the knitting needles or come along for a good old chin wag.  There will be lots of people to talk to.

Dont forget your name badges and a mug if you have one.

It would be fantastic if everyone that comes brings something nice to eat with them, sweet or savory and we shall have a Fuddle.  I shall set the
table up and you can just help yourselves.  If you cant bring anything, please dont let it put you off from coming along.

If you could let me know if you can make it, we will know how many chairs and tables to set up.  Hoping to see you in a few weeks.

 If you can bring a sheet of 12 x 12, that will make 4.  You will need sticky tape and a crimper.  I shall bring 2 crimpers with me.

The theme for the night is autominal which will be a colour theme of browns, oranges and reds.

We shall also have a go at making a baby chest card like this one.

Please bring:

2 sheets of white A4,
1 sheet of Pink or Blue A4
Ruler, pencil and rubber
teddy or trains or pram stamp,
blue or pink and black ink,
scissors,
score board if you have one
pink or blue brads

If you have any of the punches, please bring them with you too but if not, I shall have mine.

Can anyone bring in some cakes/biscuits?  If so just let me know.  It would be appreciated if you could let me know if you can come along just so that I know that there will be enough of us. 

Really looking forward to seeing you
Tracey

Saturday Card-making class

Hello all
A wonderful afternoon of card-making thanks to Tracey and what a lovely venue too.
I was photographer for the session, although I had an apprentice who also took a few.

I'm sure Tracey will fill in the details and add the finished cards piccies.
It was a lovely afternoon and great to see so many faces.
Bye for now

Beach Huts

I love beach huts so when I saw this stamp I just had to have it and it looks great when water coloured!!!

As lots of people are on holiday DERBY DABBLERS will not be going ahead on 7th September. We will all have so much to catch up in October though and there will be a demo.

No Spondon Dabblers in September

Hi just letting everyone know that there WILL BE NO SPONDON DABBLERS   in September.

I have had some response to my e-mails etc about the continuation of this on the 3rd Friday of the month and I will feed back around mid September on whether there is enough interest for it to continue this group.  in the mean time

happy crafting

Spondon Dabblers does it have a future?

Hi Ladies

Spondon Dabblers does it have a future?

August Spondon Dabblers was cancelled due to not enough people confirming their attendance to make it viable but when Anne cancelled the booking it because weren’t able to give 1 months’ notice of cancellation we had to pay for the room hire – which Anne did & she is now out of pocket. 

As you know we are non-profit making don’t have any funds to cover these sort of costs.

 Because of this Anne has cancelled all the bookings for the rest of the year.  I have offered Anne 50% of the cost for last Friday’s hire. 

I am willing to organise these Friday nights but would require another person who would help when I’m on holiday or can’t make it due to work commitments.

 but before I do this I need to know:

·         from you all whether you want to meet in the 3^rd Friday of the month?

·         just continue with meeting  once a month on the 1^st Friday at St Martin’s at Allenton?

·         Is anyone willing to help me with the Spondon Dabblers if there is enough interest for it to continue?

·          

Please let me know your thought on this asap
