Hey Ladies!

Do you want MORE opportunities to scrap? Inspired by our little group, my friend Deborah from Lexington Prebyterian Church decided to start her own scrappin' ministry for her church, and boy did she! They meet Thursday mornings once a month at The Watershed and recently added all day Saturday crops once a month. These are FREE! On April 19th they are having a big deal crop with a special guest from Fiskars who will teach a class and give away prizes. (this crop will be at Lexington Presbyterian Church) Did I mention FREE? You can find out more here at their website, Fellowship of Scrappers. If you are interested in attending the April 19th crop you need to email them at FOScrapbookers@gmail.com to save your spot. If there are several of you let them know and she can arrange for you all to sit at the same table. Unfortunately, I cannot go. I will be in Boston that weekend, but if I were here, I would SO BE THERE! I recommend going if you can. Deborah is very sweet and you'll have a great time.

Have a Happy Easter!

Good Times

We missed those of you that couldn't make it on Sat. We had a great time at Wendy's house and the food was deliscious! Wendy, thanks for hosting .

Due to the Women's Retreat(I'm so EXCITED!), spring break, and Easter we will not have a crop in March. Be on the lookout for an e-mail and blog update regarding the date for April. If you are interested in hosting the April crop, please let me know.

I hope to see you all in April!

Thanks,Lydia

February Crop

We missed you guys at our last scrap night. Leanette made some rockin brownies! Thanks again Leanette for hosting.

February's East Lake Scrap Night is scheduled for Saturday, Feburary 16 from 5:00-12:00 at Wendy's. Wendy has offered to bake a main dish and have everyone fill in with sides i.e. (salad, bread, dessert, etc.). So let me know if you plan to come and what you would like to bring. If you don't get our email and need directions, leave a comment and we'll add you to our email list.

Hope to see everyone on the 16th!

First Scrap of the Year

Our next scrap night is Saturday, January 19 at Leanette's house. I hope everyone will be able to join us even if it is just for a little while. It will be great to catch up with everyone. Remember you don't have to scrap. You can also make cards, crafts or my favorite, just chat and eat. ;) Let me know if you need directions.

See you soon,

Lydia

Cute Idea

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I know this isn't strictly scrapping, but Brandy sent me this link and I thought it was cute and decided to pass it on! They look to be very inexpensive to make and Brandy suggested it would be a great gift idea for next Christmas.

Aren't they cute? These were made by Creative Kismet and you can click on the link to see her website with a complete tutorial on how to make them as well as link to her Flickr site to see step by step photos. Enjoy!

Our Last Crop At Keepsakes

Here are a few pictures from our last crop. We had a sweet time. Brandy worked on some Christmas presents.

Angie, Lydia & Leanet worked diligently on their scrapbooks: While Sam brought her own Christmas project to work on, hand-painted ornaments:

We also had great food as usual:

It's so sad not to meet at Keepsakes anymore. We will be meeting in homes for the next couple months, but we're working on a more permanent solution. See you in January! Have a wonderful Christmas season!

Next Crop

We missed those of you that couldn't make our last crop at Keepsakes. If you were unable to make it this past Saturday be sure to stop by the store to say goodbye to Susan. Our group has certainly appreciated all the good times we have shared at Keepsakes.

Our next crop will be January 19th at the home of Leanet Miller. We will start at 6:00. If you plan to attend, please let me know whether you would rather bring a dish for a pot luck or bring a snack. A reminder will be sent out as the date gets closer.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Lydia
