Meeting Minutes 11 Sept 2012
21 present
Welcome and Announcements:
**We tried once again to
watch the video Carole R. put together form the conference in Portland, but
just couldn’t get it to work.
Cecelia had pre-registration
forms to pass out to anyone who wanted to attend this year’s conference. We aren’t sure what the discount for
guild members will be at present.
It is possible to take one ½ week class making it very affordable for
commuters.
**Cecelia will be teaching a
Back2Basis class in Neuland at her new house this Sat. Sept 15. She will also be teaching a class at
Bemis this fall on Roman Caps.
Show & Tell:
**Since we used more time
than planned trying to get the video up and running, we opted to forego our
show and tell time to give our instructors enough time during the rest of the
meeting.
Presentation: Decorated Envelopes
**We were divided up into 3
groups and worked at round tables with each gal demonstrating a different set
of ideas.
**Deb had a template she
made up of a folded envelope with 3 different suggested uses for it. She included dry embossing and whimsy
as only Deb can.
**Karen W had several folded
envelope ideas using scrapbook papers.
Very cool and origami-like.
She also had velum papers to cut and line our envelopes with making them
look special.
**Sherry put us to work
letter Spencerian/Copperplate addresses on various colored and textured
envelopes. She showed us just how
quick it can be to send a beautifully lettered note to a loved one.
Thank you, girls!
