WHERE DID GNO GO?

I'm just going with the flow of life. Looks like we'll be taking a break until things slow down. TRYING FOR FEB-MAY 2010!!! I will be posting sometime "hopefully" in January for the next craft. Let's be honest, I am to busy this time of year. Give me a few weeks after Christmas and the New Year's and I'll be out of my mind BORED!

OCTOBER CRAFT

GIRLS NIGHT OUT AGAIN!!!

WHEN: October 14

@

7:00pm

@

Chelsie Brown's

This months craft:

WORD BLOCKS!

WHAT?

7 blocks + 4 letters on each block= 16 seasonal words:)

yay!

Cute huh?

The list of seasonal words...

Harvest

Welcome

Faith

Family

Spooky

Friends

Winter

Freedom

Blessed

Snow

Home

Hope

Monster

Mother

Dream

Easter

robert spelled 'i farted' and 'poopy', goes to show that the 16 listed words are not the only words that can be made out of the blocks.

Supplies needed:

wood: 7 blocks( I will cut these out) 3-4'' squares

paint: whatever color you want, please bring your own

scrapbook paper: 3 12'' pieces for the squares on each side and 2 12'' pieces for the letters (5 total, make sure there is enough contrast b/w your two different paper colors and patterns)

The letters will be cut out with Cricket Cutter Machines. Please bring one if you have one!

Cost? I'll let you know when I buy the wood. The wood is the only thing I am providing so it should only be a couple dollars.

Please let me know by Wednesday Oct 7 if you are joining in on the fun:)

yay for crafts!!!

SEPTEMBER LIE!!!

So, I was too busy camping, traveling, swimming, hiking, playing, cleaning, gardening, sun tanning, and babysitting, that I DID NOT get the awesome craft for this month ready. Now that summer is winding down for me, I will be working on next month's craft and posting it for you all to see. GNO will continue in OCTOBER...I hope!!!

JULY & AUGUST GNO

I've decided these months are not for indoors and crafts, they are for outdoors, yard work, camping, going to the park, swimming, 4-wheeling, hiking, rock climbing, tanning, gardening, going for walks, biking, and simply enjoying the fresh air:) Stay tuned for September's craft....you're going to love it! I can't wait! I'm so excited to make it myself and show all you crafty girls.

Have a fabulous summer and be saving up for September's GNO craft, it will probably cost you $2.

Again, have a fun summer, I know I will:)

So what is an ideal girls night out for me? #1 no kids, #2 food, #3 Edward! I think we had the ultimate GNO for me:)

I'll be posting JUNE'S GNO within a week, so stay tuned and think (4th of July decoration)!

MAYS GNO CRAFT

Wednesday, May 6th

from 6-9pm!

This will be held in a clubhouse

in Logan!

Reason for Clubhouse...

We will be watching Twilight on a BIG SCREEN and eating pizza and snacks while doing this months craft.

This months Craft....

REVERSIBLE HEADBANDS!!!

COST= $5

for...

clubhouse rental

pizza, drinks, and snacks

elastic

interfacing

You will need to bring your own material and thread. Each head band takes 2 pieces of 3 inch wide material. (100% cotton) I got my pieces anywhere from $.38-$.50. With those 2 pieces of material you will be able to make 2 reversible headbands. The size is adjustable, so if you want to make one for your little head or your little girl you can do it!

This is a craft for beginners!!! There will be a few sewing machines available if you don't have one. If you do own a machine please bring it for yourself to use. Also, if you have your own pins and scissors bring them for yourself.

We will be setting the tables up facing the movie, so come ready to watch Twilight, eat yummy pizza, and sew awesome headbands.

March's GNO Craft

March 4 Wednesday

(for now, I'm going to keep it every first Wednesday of the month)

@ 7:00pm

This will be held

@ Chelsie Browns.

Turn this...

into this awesomely awesome craft!

Cost $5

Supplies provided:

wood (all cut out and ready)

paint (colors shown)

wire

paint brushes (I'll provide what I have, but feel free to bring some of your own)

This craft is going to take a little time.  I would plan on 1 1/2 to 2 hours to complete it.  Don't worry girls...we WILL have American Idol playing LOUD on the TV.  I need everyone who is interested in this months craft to sign up no later than Feb, 26.  This is so I can get the appropriate amount of  supplies and enough wood cut out.

FYI:  I wouldn't wear something that you would cry if it got paint on it!!!

I'd say...

GNO was a HUGE success!!!  We had a blast.  Although, everyone could of ate more treats because now I'm left home alone with them and they are haunting me from my kitchen.

I hope the washers all survived the drive home...if not, please let me know.  I still have everything for them and making a new one would be a piece of cake!!!  For those that couldn't come this month, we missed you, and hope to see you all next month!!!
