I had a wonderful time and it is always great to see everyone. 

UVAs bottle swap for the month of Feb. at Candie's house. 

 These are the great charms that we created for our exchange.  From top left- Candie, Elisa, Stephanie, Me, Milly, Gail, Wendy. Terry, Claudia, Dolores, Ana and Katie.  Love 'em.

The sketchbook entries were about dirty dishes and a personal mandala.  The top two are mine, then Elisa, Wendy and Terry. 

Oct. Meeting

 Dolores' entry-As a child her neighborhood would burn its own trash, as a child she witnessed some mannequins being burned and she thought they were real people!

 Terry feared "Mrs. Green!"  The wind would blow a wall calendar and she thought it was Mrs. Green.

 Terry would like to live in Colorado.

 Gail feared her mother telling her "Wait till your father gets home!"

 Gail would want to live by the ocean.

I love New York!

For this month's entries we were suppose to put two favorite animals together.  The other entry we randomly chose a word from the dictionary.  Thank you to all the ladies that attended.  We missed those that could not make it.

Next month's sketchbook entries are:

1. Do an entry of something that scared you as a child (like the boogie man).

2.  Do an entry of a city/town you would like to live in.

Cheese!!

Unfortunately this picture was taken after Beverly and Jane had left.

Love your company ladies.
