2010 November Newsletter
Smell the Turkey? (Cooking, not alive HA! HA!)
Well, time to put the skeletons and coffins away and bring out the pumpkins and turkeys. Time to spend with family and friends. FRIENDS? Hey that's us. The November paint in should be extra fun this year. We will be painting a Russian floral with June Skollingsberg and having a great Auction. We have a lot of very talented ladies in the chapter and some of them have donated beautiful items. It's not too late to get your handmade item in to be auctioned off. You can even bring it to the paint-in. We will start the auction at 12:00 noon so if you can't make it to paint, please drop by for the fun of the auction. If you don't have Golden Dollars or don't have enough golden dollars, you can buy them for .50 on the dollar. Any money that we collect will be donated to a local charity. Please get involved in your painting chapter. We need more members and we need the old members to come and paint.
Oct. paint-in went well. Glenna Nielsen did a great job on the Fairy plate. It was a fun project to do. We learned more about dry brushing and glazing. If you missed the class, you missed a good one. A big thank you to Glenna for coming the long way from Salt Lake to teach we really appreciate it. She is a wonderful teacher and we're lucky to get her.
Get ready for a fun Christmas party coming next month. We will have great food and wonderful chatter with friends. There will be some really nice prizes for the “looser raffle ticket” drawing. Oh, and don't forget to get your “UGLY SWEATER” ready. Remember the uglier the better.
Ladies, we need you to run for an office. PLEASE get involved with YOUR chapter. Help make the discussions on what we paint for seminars and what we do for the monthly paint-in and who we get to teach the seminars and paint-ins. It's not too late to show your support by running for an office.
A little tip: Don't over use them. Change to a new brush of the same size after 2-3 hours of use. Clean them well and allow them to rest. Do not use them again until they are dry.
Tip from Della Wetterman.
Hope to see you at the paint-in Auction on the 20th.
Happy Painting and Happy Thanksgiving

Glenda welcomed everyone to the class and reminded everyone about the November 20th paint-in and auction. She also asked for donations for the auction. She then turned the class over to Glenna.
The plate is beautiful and it involved a lot of dry brushing. Glenna suggested using Ronnie Bringle's brushes and/or Jo Sonja's blenders or whatever a person preferred . She did a great job teaching the class as always. |
The class ended at 3:00 pm.
