August SASSSC Meeting

Hello again ladies! Time for another meeting summary. I can't believe we've had so many meetings since we were established. Time flies and I know I have sure enjoyed it.

I was sad to miss this meeting but have been able to gather pictures from Delia on what happened while I was out.

Here we go!

This month Margie had the tip of the month and she showed us masking skills. Here are some pictures of her showing and a sample of what she demonstrated.






Thelma was in charge of the make n take and showed us how to make those cute flowers that she has used on her cards before. Here are some pictures of that and also of the cards people made during the make n take. Each one was just a little different than the next.








I love "Perk Up" used with this little coffee cup with flowers in it. SO CUTE!


This is a cute coffee cup saying too.












Here's our swaps! Correct me if I get them wrong. :o)

SASSSC Spotlight - Getting to Know Thelma

Name: Thelma C.

Favorite Dessert: Warm Apple pie with Vanilla Ice Cream

Lives Where: Southeast Houston, Riverstone Ranch

Where were you born: I was born in Edinburg Tx and raised in Chicago Ill.

How many brothers and sisters? 2 brothers and 3 sisters

How many children? Tell us a little about them. 2 chihuahuas….Rocky-tan (he has been with us 4 years, very obedient, loyal, happy, and very passive) Kuki-white (she has been with us 2 years and she is nuts, won’t listen to us, loves to lay out in the sun, lives at the vet’s office and is silly)

Who introduced you to stamping and how did they introduce it to you? I worked at PWC when I met Delia….need I say more, :). What is funny is that we also went to the same private elementary school in Chicago 1 year apart and we even lived in the same neighborhood.

How long have you been stamping? 1 year

Why do you like stamping? I like when I get into my creative zone and it just de-stresses me.

What is your favorite color or color combination to use? Pink and brown or black. I think it looks elegant with a touch of youthfulness (Lord knows I need all the help I can get) J

What's your Favorite occasion to stamp for? Thank you!

Where do you get ideas? SASSSC and ONLINE!

Do you have a favorite technique, style and/or tool? I love everything……Since I have only been doing this for 1 year I have not found anything that I don’t really like…

How did you hear about SASSSC? Delia

What do you like to do when you aren't stamping? Watching reality shows and novelas! I love love “So you think you can dance” “Americas got talent” “American Idol” and all the new series like “Lie to me” “Drop Dead Diva” and “Army Wives”. Ever since I started working at PWC (as I worked CRAZY LONG Hours) I would come home and just vegetate in front of the TV. Now I am just hooked to my TIVO!

Tell us an interesting fact about you, that we may not know...In my late thirties I started a list of things I wanted to do before I was 40. One of the things that I accomplished was running 2 marathons and an MS 150. I have renamed that list “Things I would like to accomplish before I am FIFTY”, I went to EUROPE this year and going to Puerto Rico in 2 weeks! I would also like to go see Barbara Streisand ( NYC) and Bette Midler (in Vegas) my two favorite actress! Too bad Elvis is dead…..(LOVE ME SOME ELVIS).

SASSSC July Christmas Party

I first want to give a big thank you out to the ladies who took all the pictures this time. Thank you for remembering your cameras!!! I've been horrible lately about remembering my camera for things. :)

A second big thanks goes out to the Christmas Party committee for doing a fabulous job on our 2nd SASSSC party. It was definitely fun and very SASSSC. A lot of work went into it and I think everyone had a blast! There were sub-groups on the committee and so I think there were even some surprises for those people on the committee as well. VERY FUN!!!

And now, without further ado....PICTURES!!!

The Night Before Christmas
(Make n Take):

I know this picture is a late edition to this blog about the party...but I didn't want to leave it out completely because it was so cute. Our thought was that everyone would get a chocolate on their pillow the night before the celebration...almost like a mint on your pillow at a fancy hotel. Lynn did a fabulous job on these. Thanks Lynn!!

Here's another picture that was left out of the original mix. Laura and Adrianna worked really hard on these really cute SASSSC Notebooks. I love mine!!! It's almost too pretty to write in. :) I'm not sure what I'll do with mine yet, but I can't wait to find a use for it. Thanks ladies!!!
