9th Annual DG Christmas Craft Workshop..hear those bells??

Will do Lindakay
Thanks, payment will give me spending $$$$ on the 13th

Lindakay, do you need hat/scarf and gloves as well?

No. I can find them here.

Seems odd to find such things in texas

It does, but if we drop to 40, you should see those get bundled up, boots heavy coats, mittens and scarves.

Lol we are still in shorts at 40..kidding but close to it.

Betty, at 40, I am in jeans, long sleeve shirt, socks, boots and the heart cranked up! Bit it may not be as bad this year because my fibromyalgia medicine seems to make me feel warmer than usual. I actually sleep with a fan on me now! LOL

Glad meds are helping julie

Body aching big time here, rain and cold brings it on more so

Just addressed the envelopes,just missing Liz's new address then they will be ready to post on the 14th

Would mail them from here but likely get there no sooner than if I mailed from USA

OK I lost this thread and just now found it,so I have some catching up to do.
Walmart has the glass blocks in the Floral section in crafts for 8.97, which is where I got mine, still cheaper than Hobby Lobby by the time you pay shipping @ 6.00+. My nearest Hobby Lobby is an hour away, so buying one in the store was not the best option for me.

Betty I will get my money out in the mail ASAP.Do we send to the address in the exchange?

I have my Block, hat and scarf, gloves, lights. Still need to get paint, I have some but not all the colors and my Walmart was out of stock on most of the ones I needed.

Don't ever remember Annette seeing the blocks in walmart, kudos to you for finding them
You are organized for sure
Is the block 8x8?

Yes it is 8x8 (7 1/2x 7 1/2 inside). They are in the Floral dept of Crafts, where the Vases are. So I think that makes them a little harder to find. It might not occur to someone to look where the vases are. And they only had a few on the shelf so you might have to ask if they are out of them. I found them on a hunch, knowing how WM works. I worked as Crafts dept Mgr for several years, so I know how they roll, lol.

Might need a few more, might pick some up when I go to Buffalo, by then I will know how many more I might need

Betty, I am sending you payment for two kits.

K, I will add 2 for you

One for me, Betty.

Will do

Thanks!

Waving hi..

Woohoo Betty, I did find a dollar store that had scarves!
They actually resemble the ones you pictured, lol tah and dah, giggle giggle.

So if any one shops at Menards...The blocks 8x8x3, on sale 2 for $7, very cool.
I got 4. you can find them by the lights. (duh I had to ask) Also I invested a few more $ for 20 count lights..

So I'm doing well so far

How's everyone doing with your gathering of your project. Above all have fun!!

I have all I need. Just waiting on the package from Betty.

A n t I c i p a t i o n
is making me wait...

lol been a long time since we sang together Linda Kay.

hands on the hips forgot the picture!
again.

uhhh, scarves are in the car,haha

I'm excited as well..

Judy said the best years were when we picked a day and did it together with me at my end and gals on the other so I will pick a sat or sun to do so but will give step by step so those who can't join us can follow..alwaupys include photo's

Boy you are organized Judy, look at you go. lol
Love it!

I am all set too Betty. Got my block, lights, scarf,hat and mittens. I also like the idea of a day together and it will be a lot easier now that it is just me and no Sean. (Boohoo), always hard to find a day with his schedule......

I'm ready, too, except for the package! ☺

Got you $$$ today Lindakay and Julie
Tks

You should get mine by Thursday Betty.

I think I have everything together, except the tile and glass medium. I haven't found any of that yet.

Oh I forgot and bout the glass medium. I'll need to scroll back and find what I am supposed to get.

Do you think as you need to little if I were to put some in small zip lock back, seal it with tape and put in another Baggie in case it opens it would work..hmmm I will try that

Betty, can you post a list of all items we will need?

Did somewhere but will go back then post again

Not a lot

What is needed for each Santa Snowlady glass block

Glass block ( hobby lobby or Michaels I believe had these with opening for lights)
** remember to use a discount coupon when purchasing
1 - battery operated cord set or plug in set..I prefer battery so I can move it where I want

Red scarf/hat/gloves

Paint: red/black/orange/blue/ lt and dark greens (Grey will be a mixture of white/black)
Glue - for this project I use glue gun -to adhere hat to glass block


I will send in kit

- mactac for face - cut out for easy use to set in face
- face pattern
- piece of cording for hat
- 2- snowflakes that have an iron on backing, 1 for hat and 1 for gloves
- best not forget glitter

If any of you are unable to get any of the items let me know and I can ship
Please let me know by November 3 Rd so I can gather and make up packages

Only thing is, I usually either paint the glass with a glass and tile medium for better adherence of paint or I use spray frost, trying to avoid you having to purchase the spray so will try to find some I can divide in small jar..maybe you could check craft store near you and see if the carry in the craft paint section the glass and tile medium

So what I need from you is what in the section that was for you to purchase that you need me to include

I moved this over from the previous thread.....

Meant to add that I think it should be all right to send that stuff in the baggie in a baggie.....

Keeping "M" in my prayers.....t

Glitter
Clear paint on glitter

We will set a workshop date for those who wish to participate

For those that can't again don't worry, lots of photo's will be added to the tutorial

Don't let me forget, want to give a bit more detail re placement of face
