February and March




Here we are enjoying our UFO on February 19th. What a wonderful lunch Hazel supplied, chicken croissant sandwiches, frog eye salad, oh my favorite salad, ! and another wonderful salad. What a treat, to be able to sit and paint and be feed too!
Next month we will be painting this darling sewing box with JoyLynn. Some the ladies already had their's and were prepping them at the meeting. As I said you can order one from www.dellaandcompany.com. Pictured above. See you on March 19th.

Sorry folks, I didn't take any pictures at the January meeting. I was so envolved in the watercolor that Betty was teaching us I forgot to take pictures. Anyway Betty taught us this beautiful field of poppies in water color. I tried to post the picture of it, but with no sucess. I will keep trying. Betty did a great job, and we appreciate her sharing that with us, it is fun to try something in a different medium. Jolynn fixed us a wonderful corn chowder for lunch. We will be having an UFO this month on Feb. 19th, that means bring some unfinished to work on, lunch will be furnished again. Marilyn will be taking people down to the Carl Bloch exhibit at BYU for those who want to go let her know.
JoLynn will be teaching the "Heavenly Hamper" in march. You can order the box from Della and Company if you want to do it.

Note from JoLynn regarding Shonnie’s Knee Surgery:
Hi all!!!

Shonnie had her surgery on her knee Dec. 28. She's doing fine. She will come home either Dec. 29 or 30th. Larry has plenty of time off coming, so he's available for whatever she needs. The Physical Therapist will come to their home when she's ready. Here's her address if you want to send her a card.....I'm sure she'd LOVE it.

We had a blast at our annual Christmas party hope you were there to enjoy it. We had an ornament exchange and we did the exchange buy drawing and trading. I thought Loraine was never going to end up with something! It was a riot. What a fun group.

October's Meeting was a lot of fun. We painted the cat and the moon, with Marilyn Healy, she is such a delightful person, and she was graceful enough to run for President elect. She will be a great president. I even came home and finished mine. Remember to come to our November meeting at Glenna's we will be painting a cute xmas project with Judy Graham. Picture will follow. And also don't forget to sign up for our annual Christmas Party; Dec. 4 at Archibalds.
