The first big snowstorm of the year and wouldn't you know it's my big craft club weekend with my friends?  I've been worried for 2 days about everyone getting here, or if I was going to have to cancel. The problem of cancelling would be that Valentines' Day is Thursday, and we don't have another time to get together to get them done!  Well, I'm happy to say that as of early today, the snow has stopped coming down, and the roads are being cleared up.  The club day is on! 

I've baked all day and set up the basement for everyone.... I'm tired out today, but very excited to have everyone make some of the best Valentines ever.  I have to admit that I'm a little nervous about it all.  The reason being, that we have so much to do, and some very detailed cards to make.  In addition, we will be making our "BIG" Valentine together as a group, along with the paper roses!  It is beautiful, if I say so myself.  I'm just worried about how much time it may take.  I'm willing to take all day and half the night if necessary.  I'm game if they are!

I'm beginning work on the club cookbook this coming week.  I've decided we will make it in 2 sessions.  One meeting in June and the other in November.  It will be ready for Christmas as a wonderful home-made gift for someone, or just to keep for ourselves.  We will be sharing each other's recipes too, so how wonderful it will be to have.  If we give it as a gift, we can always copy the recipes to keep for ourselves. 

Well, signing off until next time.....

p.s.  I have a couple of fun surprises for my friends, tomorrow!  Hope they like it!
