The February meeting was very special indeed! We celebrated our dear Marcella's 99th birthday! What a happy milestone!
It also happened to be Valentines Day!
Calendar
The March 14th Phoebe meeting will be at Marcella's.
The drop-in social and lunch will be from 11:30 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. Please bring your own lunch or maybe something to share. Bett's challenge theme is "Imagination is the true magic carpet." Use any media to represent new ideas and artistic creations. So, jump on your magic carpet and surprise yourself.
The Birthday Celebration
Our President, Jennifer, had the wonderful idea of making a long streamer (card) with 99 paper candles. Many Phoebes contributed colorful ones. Suzanne R shows just how long a paper card with 99 candles is when it is unfolded.  |
| How wonderful to live that long! |
Donna is wearing one of the many colorful party hats Sally made for the event. Thank you, Sally.
The Apple Crisp Anne baked for Marcella seemed to please her very much. It was delicious! Other Phoebes brought some snacks and sweets, and pizzas and salads were delivered for lunch. Show and Tell
Anne brought these ceramic beads she has made for Beads of Courage. We hope to make and collect more to send in the coming year.
Last month Betts challenged us to make nests that are filled with things that are near and dear to us and bring back memories of friends, families, and events. This sweet one was made by Sue.
Elaine displayed a box she decorated with colorful paper. It is perfect to show off the beautiful card she has just completed.
Geri created a nest filled with items that bring back dear memories. Daisy made this tiny bird in a nest made of net. Sally brought a nest that Betts had made, but she was unable to join us. We hope you feel better soon and join us next month.Some Phoebes brought dolls that they had made or collected, like this flat doll Caroline displayed.
Colleen made this ceramic doll and displayed some beautiful glass balls that she made with various colors of melted glass.
Bonnie brought one of her flat dolls, which are her favorite ones to make.
Suzanne D brought this Akira Blount doll to give to Colleen. Akira was such a fabulous and well-known dollmaker, and she taught the Phoebes so much before she passed away. What a great loss!
Suzanne R has been researching a very rare bird for the Oakland Zoo. She is now creating these posters that will have photos and information for all to see.
Bonnie has been experimenting with washi tape, corrugated cardboard, and other bits and pieces to decorate a journal.
Sally continues to have such fun with her colorful paints.
She is so creative!
These are some of the various cards Phoebes have made for this very special celebration!
