Tonights meeting went very well and we had another great crowd!! I am sorry I forgt my camera to take pictures. A big decision was made regarding the Christmas party. Lucille and Sue will work on planning and creating a great party. Anyone interested in helping out would be welcomed! We are all excited and a show of hands was taken and it was decided that instead of having the party at a restaurant that we will have it at the Glendale Community Clubhouse. It s a great spot with round tables and chairs and seating for 60 people and a working kitchen with two ovens and stoves as well as a eautiful working huge stone mason fireplace it will be a nice, comfortable and casual setting. Soooo... decision made! It will be there - thanks everyone! It will be Sunday, December 10th at 1:00 PMat the Glendale Community Clubhouse. Directions will be given closer to the date! Our new Membership coordinator - Sue - suggested making it a membership dirve as well. A great idea and I will coordinate advertising in Citizens News and Telemedia.

A link I wanted to share on the blog was a site I found and shared with the guild tonight for acrylic bottoms for bags. They are 1/8 inches thick and come in various sizes. The bottoms are called Bag-E-Bottoms and can be found at www.lazygirldesigns.com/bag-e-bottoms.php . These bottoms are for felted bags and will prevent drooping of your felted purse or bag. I am ordering one and will let you know how they are. Meanwhile I did want to share the site. I know many of you are already working on Christmas presents and thought this site would be helpful for all of you for your bags!

We have a new logo that Guild member Kim brought to the meeting - she is still doing some tweeking and many of the members at yhe meeting tonight gave input. Kim was very apprecaiteive and it helps her to create a logo we will all like. We all are grateful for Kim's creativity and work on it and look forward to her revisions and new design coming soon!
