The Wonderful December Christmas Party at Barbara's.
Once again Barbara treated the Phoebes to a joyful party featuring favors, fabulous food, and materials to create a very cute paper Christmas dress. Thank you so much, dear Barbara, for a very special and memorable Christmas Celebration!
January Enrichment
The January enrichment was led by Anne. It was all about the creation of Christy Silacci's famous one-of-a-kind dolls. Anne, as well as a number of other members, have purchased Christy's whimsical dolls over the years and they treasure them dearly. Each doll is made using an original pattern, often drawn with one's none dominate hand. Next comes sewing and stuffing the doll and embellishing it with all types of bits and pieces. They are really fun to make, and we all are so glad Anne suggested this project and guided us in its process. Thank you, Anne!!!!!
Daisy and "bunnie" were having fun planning and constructing their dolls.
And more made by Anne...
and more...
Donna created three dolls at a former play day at Rosie's.
Marcella has made quite a few herself.
Caroline's dachshund.
The numbers are endless...
and they are all so cute!
The grand finale is 3 more examples from our super artist and designer...Anne!
Show and Tell
(By the way...the theme of this month's challenge was whimsey. Almost everything displayed in this post is whimsical! Good going, ladies!)
Bett's made a box that shares some of her favorite things and Barbara displayed her paper booklet with a beautiful lady on the front.
Geri beautifully decorated a round box...
as well as a beautiful card and fan she assembled...
and another lovely box!
Sally shared her whimsical painting...a combination of watercolor and collage.
Bonnie brought a wonderful journal which features painting, collage and whimsical embellishments that she individually created.
The theme is buildings and houses surrounded trees and flowers.
Daisy made a whimsical angel...
and an adorable flying pig!
Sally shared examples of her latest great find online. She has been ordering books of paper dolls and wonderful graphics perfect for collage. Go to the "Collage Soup" website or order them on Amazon.
Sue offered us these cute little Rudolf the Reindeer pins she had made "just for fun" over the holidays. Thank you, Sue!
