August's Book & Recap

Sorry, I didn't take any photos cause I get obsessed and in the zone with these type of projects. Plus with the fun chit chat I just didn't even think of it! Here's my finished project. Beth's turned out freakin' cute and looked professional. Star and I kept our Rs bright, random and chunky.

Here is a link to that other button monogram I showed.
We had Better Than (You know what) Cake, which the consensus was that's it's not. Chris came home and ate the rest and said it's up for debate so I don't know if he's complimenting my cooking or insulting me. (TMI? maybe a little bit?)

The book I choose is The Loser's Guide to Life and Love. Something light, fun and easy to start us off. I should have my copy in the mail today so I can share it with someone. Still waiting to hear back from Mesa Library about their copy.

Molly is taking September's meeting. Stay tuned for details...

5 months later... August's meeting

{I don't even think I remember how to use blogger anymore. HA! It's been awhile.}

AUGUST MEETING
AUGUST 18th at 7:30 pm
Kate's House

and here's what we'll be doing
Button Monograms

What you'll need:
- A bag of buttons (or whatever else you want to use to glue it)
- glue gun or crazy awesome glue
- a printed letter to use as a template for gluing

I can also purchase these items for you. I don't have an idea of cost, I'll tell you at the meeting just let me know if you need me to get it for you.

I already have a bunch of black, glassless, photo frames (11x14) from Michael's Craft Store dumpster diving. If you have another frame you want to use then go ahead and show it off.

I'm going to get white poster board to have it cut to fit said photo frames but if you want a different color or are using your own frame then bring your own.

I will also be announcing our first book! {eek!} and I will have a little present too.

Treats will be served. It could be anything from this list.

btw. it's cool if you bring a friend. (and let me know if 7:30 is too late to get started).
