March crop and october retreat.

My apologies for the lack of posting.

Sadly last months crop had to be cancelled due tho the weather as not enough people were able to come to cover the cost of the hall.  My dining room was out of action too as it was full of kitchen paraphernalia due to us decorating the kitchen.

I have sent an e-mail concerning the deposit for the retreat in October  at Eynsham Hall near Witney in Oxfordshire. More details later.

April crop

Apologies for not leaving details for last months crop, my old computer died.  Now I  have a sparkly new laptop.  Unfortunately I  haven't worked out how to put photo's on here yet so no piccies of some of the great LO's from last month.

 So, we meet again on Sunday 10th April, Looking forward to seeing you there.

Crop 13th February.

We are meeting at the Olney centre on Sunday 13th February.  I think we will be in the smaller room.

For those of you coming to the retreat in October, I will be collecting your deposits as I  have to get the group deposit to Chartridge next week to secure our booking. If you cannot attend , please e-mail me for my address.

Looking  forward to seeing you.

Happy New Year!

Our first crop of 2011 takes place on Sunday 9th January.  As before please let me know by Wednesday evening if you are coming.

I'm sure you all have lots of snowy chrismas photo's to get busy with. I think I might warm myself by getting to work with some of my Kenya photo's!

Look forward to seeing you.

Sunday crop

Well the weather was good to us in the end and we were very cosy on Sunday.  I was amazed at how we all fitted in.! I hope you all enjoyed the day. 

Thanks to you all for joining in with the little extras and for your contributions to a delicious lunch.

We shall be meeting on the 14th at Rachaels ( in the evening) so if you want a place, please let her know as soon as possible.

Sunday 5th Crop

Those of you who had said they were coming should have recieved an e-mail  re . the crop on Sunday.

Christmas Crop

Our christmas crop takes place at the Olney centre on Sunday 5th December. It would be lovely to see as many as possible there.  I am hoping to arrange a couple of games and maybe a tiny challenge, but of course you do not have to join in if you don't want to.

As usual it would be good if everyone could bring along a 'plate or bowl of something' so we can all enjoy a festive lunch together.

Rachael and Hannah are both doing sweet items so maybe it would be good if the rest of us could contribute something savoury ( or even healthy if you are that way inclined  ! ). Please let me know if you are coming as soon as possible and  what food you will be bringing.

We also  mentioned the gift swap at the last crop.  For those who want to join in we decided on a cost  of around £5.

Look forward to seeing you all.

Sunday Crop 7th Nov.

We will be meeting at the Olney Centre.  Look forward to seeing you all.

SCRAP WEEKEND 2010

What a great weekend and what a lovely bunch of girls.  Thank you all for making the weekend  a true  pleasure. It  was such a tonic. Lots of laughter, eating and a few interesting and serious conversations. Oh ,and somewhere in between we managed to do some scrapping. I apologise for the dreadful photo's, they do not give credit to the wonderful LOs and books that you ladies produce.

Looking forward to seeing some of you on the 7th  November and also those who were unable to join us at the weekend..  Maybe by then  Lynseys baby will have arrived. Very inconsiderate of him not to have arrived yet!!

I'm having trouble adding the photo's, I will add some more as soon as possible.

CONGRATULATIONS to Lynsey and family on the safe arrival of Callan.x

October.

the october 10th crop is cancelled .

Look forward to seeing some of you at the retreat.  Normal service should resume in November.
