SASSSC Meeting April 2010

We missed many of our members in April. We had a lot of busy ladies this month. We still had fun...but they should know that they were missed.

Here's a picture of the food...


...and of us.


We had 2 make and takes this month. One was a make-up from a previous month. It was Crystal's. She punched us all a kit to make her awesome dog card.


Here's a picture of the finished product. We really liked it when she brought it for her Christmas 'Faces' swap...and told her when it was her turn to do the make and take, we all wanted to make that one.


The other make 'n take was from Thelma. It is an adorable Monkey made from various punches.




Here's some pictures of us making it.




Delia's half-done Monkey mooned us.




We had fun putting it together.


I (Annie) won the door prize this month. A new stamp pad. I can always use more colors to chose from. :)


We hope to have our friends back with us next month! See ya'll soon! Till then...stay SASSSC!
