Art group (no name yet!)

I have wanted to be surrounded, inspired by, supported etc. by a community of creative women for awhile now. So when we decided to make the move here, that was a priority of "wants" for me. I can't tell you how I have been blessed right away with a lovely group of talented women! A couple of us that were itchin' for the same thing, decided to start up this group to nourish our creative bones. New friends, new experiences, new artsy challenges, new fun! We jumped in.

Here are the first shots of our first meeting at a totally cool clubhouse that one of the girls Mom's belongs to. We get to use it every month! Becky (one of the many incredible scrapbookers in the group) decided to do the first project. Look at all the supplies she had to share... and we all chip in $10 a month for other supplies.

We had Altoid mint tins to design with a Halloween theme. We could give it our own spin with the zillion cool supplies before us. For us non-scrapbookers, it was overwhelming what to choose to do BUT certainly exciting to learn how to do it and get our fingers and minds going.

Some went spooky Halloween"vintage villian".

Got 'em all dolled up on the outside with whatever tickled your fancy.

...ribbon, beads, glitter, stamps, ink, buttons, stickers, paper...embellishments!

...then to jazz up the inside.

Could go crazy Halloween wild or go simple kid cutie. Whatever!

Just a creative time to sit, stir up conversation, create... and be ourselves.

Can't wait 'til next month...
