Here are some pics of the gift tags we made

Welcome & Announcements:
**Surveys were passed out for us to fill in and return to Kathie H asking what we liked about our programs, workshops, or topics last year and what we’d like to see in the coming year. The board plans to use the information to plan next year’s events.
**Cecelia would teach Carolingian at the next Back 2 Basics class on Saturday the 19th.
**Our new website www.summitscribes.org is up and running. Hopefully anyone interested in lettering arts will be able to find us on the web. A bulk of news for our members will come through the e-Digest and/or the Summit Scribes blog.
**Cecelia asked for volunteers to help find and plan a spring retreat. Kathy S agreed to head that up with Cheryl, Tammi Jo, Mary R, and Karen S helping out.
**Forty-four actual pages of the St. John’s Bible will be on display in Santa Fe until April. Maybe a road trip is in order! If so, talk to Cheryl
**Cecelia passed around a Michael Jacobs paper folder/scoring tool she made from part of a paper clip with directions for making one ourselves.
Show & Tell:
**The FREE table was full again and there were several drawings from the Kristin Doty workshop as well as a variety of card ideas. Our homework/project drawing went to Cheryl.
Presentation:
**Deb, Carole R, Karen S, Kimmie, and Tammi Jo showed us how to make 5 different holiday gift tags from supplies they brought. Deb had a folding tag with a Christmas ball on the front, Carole die cut pieces of a city snow scene for us to assemble, Karen had a Christmas sticker on a red square with a red ribbon, Kimmie had us cut white circles and brown branches for our snowman, and TJ had us roll thin strips of paper to glue onto a stamped snowflake.

Welcome & Announcements:
**Cecelia welcomed everyone with a special note that former member Cindy Huwee, who is currently living in Germany , was back with us.
**No new information was shared from the floor. The FREE table was full and our homework/project drawing went to Leslie!
**Our next workshop will be November 5/6 with Krisitin Doty. All skill levels are welcomed to learn more about drawing for calligraphers.
Presentation:
**Candy presented a fun and easy way to create sturdy book covers using Tyvek fabric that can be purchased in small amounts at local kite shops. She passed out large, white Tyvek envelopes to each of us, thanks to Compassion Int., and asked us to open them up at the seam and lay them flat. (We could choose to crinkle them if we wanted added texture.) With several colors of acrylic paint on paper plates, we were instructed to coat our piece of Tyvek with water and paint away in any combination/pattern we chose.
