Girly Night Out

Who is still interested?

2010-03-09T16:15:00.000-08:00

I haven't been in the "crafty" mood lately. I blame it on my "reading" mood.

I recently had 1 person ask if I was going to start the GNO again. Is anyone else still interested?

I am going to make a change in the GNO. Another BIG reason for my GNO neglection, is that I have a Girls Night Out once a month already and I feel bad leaving my cute husband home alone with my boys TWICE a month. (the truth is, he thinks he can have a DUDES night out TWICE a month too...AND THAT'S JUST NOT FAIR!)

So girls,...what about a GDO??? eh? Let me abbreviate that for you all. GIRLS. DAY. OUT. Let's face the fact, if you are a stay-at-home mom like me, there is no better time to get together with the girls than during the day! (I have plenty of room at my house for the young kiddos who are not in school to roam)

Any takers for the GDO change? Crafts/snacks/adult conversation/kids messing up someone else's house....? Let me know via email: chelsiejobrown@live.com

Oh, and I was thinking the next craft should look a lot like this one...

I am going to have mine say, "Lose the Shoes"!

WHERE DID GNO GO?

2009-12-09T08:05:00.000-08:00

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!

GIRLS NIGHT OUT AGAIN!!!

WHEN: October 14

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!!!

2009-09-02T15:59:00.000-07:00

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

2009-06-06T21:01:00.001-07:00

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:)

MAY'S GNO RESULTS

2009-05-07T09:43:00.001-07:00

We were small in numbers this month but that just left more cookies and pizza and breadsticks for those that did come! Everyone was able to make AT LEAST 1 headband and watch the movie TWILIGHT! 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:)

MAYS GNO CRAFT

2009-04-03T09:26:00.000-07:00

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.

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!!!
