1st- Do me a favor? Look to the right -----> There is a survey over there. Please take a second and answer.

Card Making/Picture Party

December 7th, 2014

Open House (Times TBD)
Kids/Families Welcome 

Cards:
I have 4 cards as samples that you can recreate while you are here. Pictures of them are below. Your family is welcome to come help too! (How cute would it be to have you little ones make your Christmas cards this year!?) You do not have to use my samples, you can create whatever you would like.

The only thing you need to bring is:
Cards- I used 5x7. I got them, with envelopes, at Hobby Lobby after using 40% off coupon for about $4.

I have the rest of the supplies. But if you have any of the following it would help-
Scissors or a Paper Cutter
Glue Sticks or Glue Dots
Black Pens/Thin Black Markers
Buttons (all mine are colorful like in the picture below)
Card Stock in Red, Green, White or any generic color

If you would like to create something specific please provide your own specific supplies. We will be making cards with my scraps of paper and whatever ribbon, buttons etc. I have on hand.

Pictures:
I will have 2 spaces set up in my home (and an option for outdoors if the weather permits) for family pictures to be taken. I will have a sign up sheet when you walk in. While you are here making cards, I will come grab you and your family to take pictures when it's your turn. The cost will be $10 and will include a 15 minute mini session. If you are looking for a theme for your pictures, like ugly sweater, I will need to know ahead of time to accommodate any props needed. I will be doing all the editing of the pictures for free and will post them to a website where you can go grab them (the link will be private for your pictures). If you would rather bring a thumb drive I can edit and save to that instead. Turn around time on pictures should be about a week.

If you would like me to design (or teach you to make) your own digital cards we can set up a time to do so. The pricing will be determined per project and you will want to tell me ahead of time so that your cards can be mailed in time for the holidays.

Calendar for 2015
There are a few months still open. If you are interested in hosting please let me know and we can talk about details. My husband and I have been collecting pallets for a pallet party. He would be here to help with cutting and designing. Please let me know if you are interested in this idea for a party (Probably in the summer since it will mostly be cutting and painting outside)

Paint Party!! (AKA Cocktails and Canvas)

Guess what I just found out! Amber is teaching another class! If you came to Ladies All Day for the Cocktails and Canvas you know just what I'm talking about! I'm really excited that she has opened the invitation to Ladies All Day!

The info:

Girls Paint Party!
November 8th 4pm-10pm

• It will be hosted in Davis County (You will have to RSVP for the address since it's in home)
• This is a TWO part class! She has 2 different projects to teach, one for Fall and the other for Winter.
• Cost is $10 for one or $15 for both.
• Bring your own canvas in whatever size. (Her paintings are 8x10 for Fall - 11x14 for Winter)
• All other supplies will be provided, hence the cost of the class.
• Bring your own drinks and a snack to pass
• RSVP to me (or on Facebook if you were invited that way)

Remember this is FUN art, not FINE art!
(and it will be a guided class)

Here are her samples:

A Little History and Some IMPORTANT Questions I Need Answered. :)

This year has been HUGE for my webpage! Ladies are starting to show up like I had planned and we are getting some cool stuff done together! Now I need your help, along with your attendance to these memorable events, to blow up my blog!

A little background- I originally started this blog to make money. For each click on my webpage I was going to make a few pennies. I’d still like to make this happen but right now I just don’t have the traffic. Please follow ladiesallday.blogspot.com and look there for information whenever you can. I also encourage you to share this site with other ladies. (To follow click on the blue link "Join this site" in the top right hand corner)

Anyway- The point of writing and starting this website was to lift each other up as women instead of tearing each other down. I was inspired by Katie Couric and her talk show, that has now been cancelled (boo!) She is so positive and I was anxious to live that way, everyday. I wanted out of the gossip and wanted to hear and talk positively about others, no more drama! I originally started posting stories about accomplishments, small or big, that my friends had made in their lives and it made me feel good to know that even when you have to dig deep to find something wonderful about yourself, you could. Until very few people responded. I gave all these women a chance to tell me ONE thing they have done that they were proud of, even if it was just making it through the day without killing someone, and they had nothing to say.

So now I’m going to put you on the spot! I need you to answer some questions below because I really love having everyone show up and I really love something about every one of you (or soon will if we have not yet met). Some of this is basic, basic stuff, but I am going to ask you one thing about YOU that makes YOU feel proud. If you have to, ask friends who may be able to assist you to recognize what is amazing about you. And one day, I just might call on you to write a paragraph (or a novel if you are like me) so I can post about you. Everyone that comes to these ladies days will know how wonderful you are with that one thing and maybe it will spark a new friendship or just make you feel proud of yourself when you see it posted online.

Thank you in advance for doing this! I know for some this is a really hard thing to do.

And please- if you have questions or need guidance please ask me! I really want to make these days fun for everyone so every question is vital to our success.

Thanks so much!

Pinterest Party Time! (This was voted favorite of the year last year!)

We had a blast last year! It was by far the biggest turn out, the most food and the most fun! So here we go again!

Pinterest Party Time!

Saturday, November 15th
Open House from 11am-5pm
Same place as last year 

Here is how it works: 

We will have an open house in Bountiful (When you RSVP I will let you know the address)  We will have plenty of food (see below about food) and some basic supplies to share.

 

Step by Step:

• Log on to Pinterest.
• Pick something you'd like to make from Pinterest! (Click here for our Pinterest board. Let me know if you haven't been added to it so you can pin as well)
• Pick a food dish/drink that you'd like to try to make (Or you have already made, but found the recipe on Pinterest)
• Make your dish/drink to pass at the party. (Plan on sharing with about 10-15 ladies)
• Bring your supplies to complete your craft, your dish/drink, and plan a few hours to hang out.
• Eat, socialize and create!

Sound like something you want to do?

What will already be there: 

We will be providing some basic supplies like hot glue, but since the list of ideas is endless make sure you grab what you need or contact me if you think your supply is a basic and I will let you know if it's already covered. If you have some basics, like craft paper or beads, or maybe a bag of sugar or flour, and would like to share please let me know so I can pass along the information to others who may need your supply.  Think outside the box too- like do you have a Cricut machine or paint brushes? How about a those picture frames and old T-shirts you were going to donate?

I have a bunch of scrapbook paper, ribbon, stickers, scissors, fabric, sewing machine and accessories. I have a few random things like mirrors and tiny metal letters and paint. Please let me know if you want to come shopping in my craft room before the party.

Here are some ideas:

I'm pretty excited for this event! It's just in time to make some Christmas gifts for neighbors and friends!

If you 'd like more ideas hop over to our Pinterest board "Pinterest Party Ideas" and check out everything we have pinned in preparation for this party. I will add you to the board if you'd like.

Want to try photography!? The location we picked has plenty of places for poses. I will even bring my camera if you ask!

Ok so I'm not the best at sewing, but I have a sewing machine I can bring-  I know the basics and I'm sure someone else there can help too!

I will probably be creating some kind of home decoration since we just moved and I don't have anything for my front porch. Or maybe some towel hooks for the guest bathroom.

Don't know how to cook? Want to learn? My mom is a good cook and we will have a kitchen at the location! This means you can cover two birds, one stone. Your craft will be the meal you are going to share! Just make sure you have all the things you need. If you need an appliance give me a call ASAP so I can pack what isn't already in the kitchen.

That gets me thinking... What if I want to do a meal planning idea- you know, like a month of freezer meals... I might not be doing my towel hooks after all...

I'm getting too excited! I think it's time to start pinning! Oh and don't forget to RSVP!

I will see you November 15th!

* NO KIDS unless they are old enough to stay occupied with a craft. This location is not set up for kiddos.

Can't wait!

PS- A little trip to Sunday, December 7th. I know this is a BUSY time of year, but I know I need to get my address book updated and some holiday cards made in time to send them out. If you are interested in joining me so I'm not writing addresses alone, please let me know. I can help you make some cute storage for your address book so that you can find your addresses all year long and some homemade (or digital) cards together. AND I have a camera if you need family pictures taken. I can set up a scene in my house or we can take it outside. (I will need to know ahead of time what you are looking for) Let me know if you are interested.

Wood Blocking Results

We had a blast! Some ladies even finished more than one project! Thank you to everyone who made it out to share a day together!

Here are some pictures: (I did not get pictures of everyone! Please send me what you did! I know I'm missing at least 2 of you!)

I also did not take before and after pictures! I was so consumed with chatting and creating :) If you have any pictures from this day please send them my way.
Thanks!
