Autumn Welcome Gathering.....NEW DATE

 Autumn

When the trees their summer splendor

Change to raiment red and gold

When the summer moon turns mellow,

And the nights are getting cold;

When the squirrels hide their acorns,

And the woodchucks disappear;

Then we know that it is autumn,

Loveliest season of the year.

                               Charotte L. Riser

June 2014 Gathering

Hosted by Miriam & Fran

Friday, June 13, 2014

at

Michael's 

Washington Ave. Ext.

Albany, NY

6 - 8:30 PM

Miriam has planned two or three projects for everyone -

one of the projects Miriam chose is a white picket fence that we will alter.

  We will provide "fairies", flowers, 

bling, moss, buttons, etc. to embellish your fence.  

If you would like to add a personal theme

to your fence, for example Halloween, Christmas, etc.,

 you may want to bring some of your own themed ephemera.

Please include with your regular supplies a  

  tape runner, tonic scissors [tim holtz] and regular scissors,

glue stick, an ink pad for distressing, etc.

 I will send out another announcement if 

there is anything else that I forgot to mention to bring,

because there are no kitchen facilities we will

 be unable to serve coffee or hot tea***

 PLEASE RSVP by June 5th…

the fee remains at $20.00 

to be paid by June 5th.

{due to Michael's store policy, we cannot

pass money at the gathering; the money needs to be 

paid to me prior to the 5th.  

If you need my address, please email me

franpascazio@gmail.com}

I apologize for this late date announcement 

on the June gathering.  I know it's almost last 

minute, but to be very honest, I was

waiting to hear if there was going to be an

 April gathering or if it was being canceled, moved, etc., 

before Miriam and I decided on a June date.  

We know how busy June is and we

hope that you will have the night free to join us!

Looking forward to seeing everyone!  If you have

any questions, please feel free to contact either one of us.

Hugs,

Miriam & Fran
