2019 June Newsletter
Welcome June, may you scatter blessings, health, happiness, and prosperity to all.
Hello everyone,
We had a very nice turn out for the High Tea. LeeAnn worked very hard to present a wonderful and delicious variety of sandwiches, scones, and other delicacies. The teas were also delicious, especially the hibiscus flavored tea. I hope everyone in attendance enjoyed the event and liked the unique crotchet tea cups filled with special little goodies. Thanks to everyone that helped with the cleanup. It was appreciated very much.
LeeAnn wants to thank Terry Pulver and Carol Fredricksen for helping her setup the table, etc. Terry did a great job of greeting the guests with a string of pearls as they arrived. Each guest was then directed to choose a straw hat and decorate it using the various flowers, ribbons, etc.
On June 22nd, Helen Mahoney will be teaching a beginner class. The pretty yard sign, all supplies (including paints, brushes, etc.) will be provided and pizza will be served for lunch. Please RSVP to Terry Pulver at 801-731-6425 by June 15th and bring a friend for a fun filled day.
Don't forget about our October seminar with Heidi England. We will be painting a really cute Frog Bench. Check the blog for picture and details.
We'd love to see our members attend the scheduled paint-ins that are planned for the year. Come join us for fun on Saturday's painting and get reacquainted.
Take Care,
Lydia

palette knife, stylus, paper towels and hairdryer.

or 2” roller to apply a mixture of Soft White with tiny touches of
Oakmoss/Sea Grass mixture to top and outside Sides of bench. (You may
also want to add a whisper of Golden Grain.) Paint the upper ledge of

tiny touch of Wild Grape. The apron and the inside of the Sides are
Oakmoss/Sea Grass mixture. Be sure paint is dry. If time permits seal
with one coat of Clear Glazing Medium. Dry. Transfer designs with
grey graphite paper.
Heidi Note:
I
rarely clean the roller – only whip it off as you change colors.
Therefore, I get beautiful color variations.

and dessert.
