The Phoebes met at Marcella's on July 10 for a combination afternoon meeting and morning play day, where members used some of the many shared ephemera items and techniques to make greeting cards. Each member was asked to make at least 2 cards to give to Rosie, who will use them during the coming year to send out "sunshine" messages to Phoebes celebrating birthdays, and get-well messages to those who are ill, or those who just need a little cheering up. The result was a wonderful collection of one-of-a-kind handmade cards created by many busy hands. If you missed the meeting or wish to make some additional cards, please give them to Donna at the August meeting. Donna will be making sure Rosie receives them.
