THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
“You
can talk yourself into success. The secret? A simple but
Life-changing shift in vocabulary. Trading 'I can't' for 'I can'.
Replacing
'maybe' with 'definitely'. Switching out 'not me' for 'why not me?'
Believe in yourself, and that confidence will carry you toward your
dreams! Reaching
high keeps people on their toes!!!! “
Hi
Painters!
We
are all sorry that Glenda Mitchell will be leaving our chapter and
moving to Winnemucca this month,
but
her
husband
has
obtained
a job
which
he
has wanted
for a long time. Good Luck to you both. We will miss you, but be sure
to come see us when you can.
We
want to thank Linda Allen for sharing
her delightful Shara Rhiner tool board with us this month. The class
was having
a fun time, but I had to leave as I had a Family Reunion and a
Wedding I had to attend. Thanks to all the Provo ladies who came for
Linda's class. We really appreciate all of you.
Everyone
be sure and check out the Zentangle class for this month on the blog
site and if you haven't signed up be sure to call Pat Reeder at
801-476-9366.
Also,
if you haven't signed up for the Fall Seminar be sure and check out
the blog and see what we will be painting.
A
great summer to everyone.
Enjoy
because it won't be too long until fall and all the beautiful flowers
will be gone as well as all the nice fresh vegetables which I really
enjoy during the summer.
Hope
we see you soon and may God bless.

2014 Chapter Service Project
This year again, the Chapter will be continuing the Food Drive as our Community Service Project. Last year was very successful and we hope to do even better this year. Members are urged to bring items for the Food Bank to each Paint-in and Seminar they attend. (See our Food Bank Donations Guideline page for information on acceptable items or go the the Utah Food Bank web site for more information.) There is a lot of need, so we hope everyone will support this effort.

Faberge' eggs are usually trimmed with jewels and gold lace, so bring whatever you would like to decorate your egg. You will also need a good glue to attach things. Colors are also your choice. Metallic and iridescent paints can add a nice touch. If you want glitter, bring it also.
Prep Instructions: If you want your egg to open, cut it using a cutting bit of 3mm (1/8in) disc for best result or you can use and exacto knife. This should be done before class. Base coat your egg in the color(s) you want. (see pictures for some ideas). If you have a design in mind, trace it on. We will have some books with some additional ideas for you.
