Letter from President Lisa Peck
Hi Gals,
Welcome to another month! We missed a lot of you last month because of snow. We want to give Judy a big THANK YOU for being President last year, and, also, for teaching the Zhostovo box. We had a pretty good turnout, in spite of the snow. Hopefully this month will be better. If you can't make it to paint, at least come by and see the sign-up sheets for the upcoming projects. We have sign-up sheets through May for everyone to look at.
This month Glenna will be teaching a Prudy Vannier Elf and Snowman that would look great on any piece of wood from your stash. Patterns are $10. Contact Pat McKean if you would like a pattern.
In March, Cherie Ringger will be teaching Jo Sonja's "The Little Engine That Could." This is taught on a tin that is no longer available from Della and Company, but I did find something close. It is item #FT-2318 Vintage Kettle w/ Handle. It is 30% off right now. I also found item #FT-2212 Antique Lunch pail w/ straight handles. This is also on sale right now and I think the train would be beautiful on this. I called Della and Company on Monday and they sold all of the railroad tins to gals in Utah County on Saturday. Cherie's piece was that awesome! Hopefully these stand-in pieces will work. Otherwise, it is a beautiful piece that can be adapted to any piece of wood or a wooden toy, if you like. The pattern is $10.
In April we will be having Michelle Walton come. She is doing a project on a Magnolia Home bowl, and I will get pictures and info for the bowl as soon as I can. This is a great chance to paint with Michelle. She is so much fun to paint with, if you haven't had the opportunity. She has the most amazing imagination and comes up with the funnest things to paint. I encourage you to put this on your calendar. The seminar dates are April 20, 21.
In May we will be doing a beautiful Norwegian bowl by Gary Albrecht. It is a piece from the Decorative Painter from 1993, and I am excited to see what we can all come up with. Gary's bowl is black and red, but this can be easily translated to other colors if you wish. We can put our heads together and figure it out. This will be fun.
For our Service Project this year we are looking for some VERY NICE painted pieces to be donated for a special raffle. We will have the pieces on display every month and you can purchase tickets at $1.00 each and continue adding to the drawing. In December we will draw the names for the pieces and all of the monies made will be donated to Primary Children's Medical Center for Art Therapy. We would love to have some beautiful pieces donated, if you can. I know that many of our ladies would be so excited to have a painted piece by one of our painting friends.
I am so excited to be your president this year, and we have a very fun year lined up. If you need anything, please feel free to call me. I am looking forward to the wonderful teachers we have coming this year and the fun that we always have when we get together.
We will see you in February. Thanks for all of your support!
