December 18th Club

Dec. 18th is the next club date… and it’s coming up fast. I will be in charge of beverages, I am looking for someone(s) to provide the snack, if you are interested let me know.

I would like to do a Yankee Swap for our December club, where each person brings one wrapped, unmarked gift, a $10 value. Each person when they arrive will draw a number and number 1 will go first to draw a present that isn’t their own and open it, then 2 will either choose what number 1 has or take a different present and open it, and 3rd person can choose from 1 or 2, or choose a present. Opening of gifts and swapping takes place until all the presents have been chosen. Finally, the person who picked first gets to choose from all the gifts or keep what she has already received. In the end, the gift you are holding is the gift you take home.… If you are interested in this please let me know by Dec. 3rd for each person has time to search for their item(s). I think it will be fun and its something we haven’t done before… & its way easier than Secret Santa, we will do this right at 6:30p so if are able to come at 6:15p please do so.

What else is included in this email is: Monthly Challenge, Cost, & January Incentive to have a friend join.

There will be two Club Challenges for December; you have the option to do one or the other and yes you may do both… First one, will be to those that wish to participate, is to stamp a repetitive image 5 times per 1 person, on white cardstock in black ink. If you choose a sentiment please do something other than just “Happy Birthday”, you do not need to be exclusive to close to my heart stamps. Example of how it’s done: Say I choose the stamp set of the snowman, I would stamp him 5 times for Brandy, then 5 for Barb…etc. then at club each member would receive their images. There are 5 of us, unless Tricia & Deb decide to join us.. Please keep image size larger than 2x2 if you can. Those that participate will receive a FREE set of craft jars pg 105.

Club Challenge Second is this if you choose to accept it is, when you purchase more than $50 (subtotal) will receive a FREE Cottage Edge Anchors on pg 92, just in time for the spring catalog.

Also, if we can get Tricia & Deb to join us for December the cost will go $24 w/ $5 bling fee. Deb, I haven’t heard from at all (Allison have you spoke with her?) and Tricia is on the fence… so crossing fingers she jumps onto our side.

Also, Have a Friend sign up for Club in January to commit to the remainder of club; you each will receive a FREE Spring harmony Sassy strands pack! Sorry this does not include Deb & Tricia… as they are already on the fence… So ladies our goal is to have 8 ppl, I think we could do it… just remember the cost will go down to $18 w/ $5 bling fee if this happens… we have some time… so start bragging about Club and why you are part of it…

Below on the board is what we will be doing for layout and cards for December. Please bring your scissors, adhesive, & if you have a scor-pal that would be useful as well.



Questions or Concerns let me know.
