5th Annual DG Christmas Craft Workshop....all invited

I haven't been to the post office in weeks..usually Cathy brings me my mail every few days..called her yesterday as she's been ill so tonight on my way home will stop and check..

Darlene just called, blocks have been drilled to accomodate the voltive holders, she'll drop them off tomorrow or Friday morning then if the wreaths come in I'll start packaging up your kits...

Having the $$$ will help next Saturday to mail out the kits, so thanks for being so prompt..

Betty, who is coming over with you next Friday? You traveling alone, with Mom, or the girls?

It's a MOM weekend lol so know we'll be doing the CrackerBarrel and the Christmas Tree Store..

LindaKay, barb,Debbie. Received your envelopes today!

Thanks

Glad to hear it arrived.

Me too!!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

happy thanksgiving all.

Happy Thanksgiving to all..hope it's a very special day for all of you!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Dave bought a 17# turkey and thought it was a 12# so if anyone wants leftovers come on over!

Crissy, you won't go hungry then!!! Save some for Christmas..imagine, month away and it's Christmas Eve..we are now on the downslide...

Just got a box with our wreaths..one step closer..now to find boxes..

Should go check sizes of flat rate boxes and cost, didn't do that yet, might be in for a surprise..lol wouldn't be the first year right?

Crissy count me in for the turkey. Yum!

Hi, Betty.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Betty, I finally made it to the post office Tuesday. But I forgot to ask when they thought the envelope would arrive. However, it is finally on its way! Let me know when you receive it.
Will post again later this evening or tomorrow with my saying. Sorry for not getting it to you sooner!
Michelle

My envelope is on it's way ! dinner was fantastic! I think I am still stuffed, but I am bringing a great lunch to work with me....just in case I decide to get hungry again LOL

Thank you both...

Got to see what kind of box I can fit the project in that won't be so bulky..none of the flat rate boxes will fit project..the ones that do are $14 ++++ for shipping..playing today with kits and sewing while I work

My money is on the way too Betty...hope it gets there before you ship it, so you don`t have to pay out of your own pocket!!

If you need more money to cover shipping please let us know asap!!

No money for shipping but might mean because of cost of having to have wood specially made to fit dimension and the shippisng of wreaths that you may have to get at dollar store black and beige paint..i will add crackle if its ok with you..always try to keep it at $20

so here is where i am this morning

and while I work, some relax

Betty, I can send more for postage as well. I think we can all pick up paints, stains and crackle.

Absolutely not LindaKay, I've got everything covered but thanks for the offer..just thought if all could pick up the beige and black at dollar store or Walmart it would make packaging so much easier...the crackle medium I'll put in little viles so it won't be a problem for them

Betty...the paints are those acrylic paints right? I think I still have a ton of those(if they are not dried up...lol). Just make it as easy on yourself as possible, we apprechiate all that you do and I am sure we are all able to get our own paints.

YES, just regular acrylics, even for the front because it will be is crackled I'd get something a little brighter than light beige..maybe straw!

no problem here to get paints, and of course you just let us know if you need more $$ because of shipping costs.!!

Betty I will gladly send you some more $$$s to help cover the cost and the shipping. Santa Warren is raring to go - well once Dec 1 gets here. He says no Christmas stuff until then. He is having a bird as the radio station I listen to has Christmas music on already.

Hi, Betty.
My husband says he has some paints around here, and if we need other colors, we can get them. Just let us know which we need.
For my saying, I'd like it to say, "One starry night..." without the quotes (but with the elipsis). Thank you!
Michelle

Early morning wave..

Sure hope I didn't sound like I was asking for more $$$

All is well looked after, only thing as I said that would help is you getting the 2 colors, once I figure out how to properly pack it may not be necessary..

Have a cousin who is not a crafter but each year we meet here and she does the prototype so I can determine the easiest way for her to do the project without stress..tomorrow morning it will be!

Hugs to santa's Warren..Dec 1st is a coming, Christmas carols as well!

Betty I have plenty of paints here. And I would like for my lettering to say..............Let it Snow...........
Money is in the mail. Thank you so much for putting this together.

Thea, your envelope made it here this mornimg...tks

Hmmmm Betty...are you sure it was my card with the cheque? DH only mailed it thursday at about 5pm!! lol don`t think Canada Post is THAT fast!!!

Ooops, no,was Dianne
Can you tell I'm tired. Lol

Dianne, what a beautiful Christmas card designed for Princess Margaret Hospital..on my mantle!

I was getting concerned Betty as I was really worried about Canada Post. They have not been too reliable lately for me and that's tough when you live in a rural community. In fact I stopped ordering online from Chapters as they use Canda Post and now only use Amazon because they use UPS.

The cards from PMH were wonderful this year. Usually I get cranky when an institution sends me things like cards and then asks for money but how could I refuse PMH. I donate money every year specifically to PM Lodge, until I stayed there I didn't know I could do that. While I was staying at the Lodge wall clocks were installed in every room - paid for by a donation that specifically asked that clocks be put up. It seems a loved one stayed at the lodge and had the same fear we all did there - what time was it so we wouldn't miss our shuttle to the hospital.

Know it is the pot calling the kettle black but please get some rest Betty!
Dianne

lol glad that got sorted out!!
Canada Post delivery a letter after 1 day would be more then a miracle for sure..lol

That it would..always amazes me that when I post on Saturday in USA many times the recipient receives it Monday or Tuesday..great service!

I can mail something to my Momma in Massachusetts, and she will get it usually within a few days, but I can mail something to the next town over...and it takes 7-8 days!!!??? just can not understand how that works??

lovely saying Michelle

Found 15 wreaths in my stash, going to post photo and give you a choice of wreaths..will start packaging a few each night..

Had my cousin drop in yesterday, she is not a crafter but the piece turned out to be a treasure. Before she made it home her daughter was a proud recipient so Linda will comeback on the 11 th and make a few more!!

Michelle, received your envelope today..tks sweetie!

Meant to ask, how many of you have a small liner brush??

This message was edited Nov 28, 2011 5:37 PM

i have loads of paint and lots of brushes

I have some they are older but should still work (had to google what a liner brush is...lol)

If you don't, not to fret, I'll include one in your pkgs..

Exhausted tonight..decided I'd rather get up at 4:30 vs working on kits tonight..

I have plenty of brushes.

Okay I am feeling alittle overwhelmeed tonight what is a liner brush? Aren't I a lazy sot? Just trying to catch up here and read to Santa Warren for a bit, if he is not already asleep.
