Well, I survived the big Valentine club meeting last weekend, and so did my club members.  The weather cleared and we were able to meet on Saturday, as planned.  I think everyone took home some wonderful Valentines.  I haven't heard much about the recipients comments, yet.  Looking forward to hearing from my gals on this one!  So, if you are out here reading, dear club members, let me know how they went over.  I'm very anxious to hear which ones you gave out and to whom!

I was so very pleased and surprised to receive flowers from a couple of my club members this week!  And they did it, just to show their appreciation for my work on the crafting club.  I love what I do, and I love my club members, which makes it so easy for me to do my job.  Thanks to all of you, for sharing this time with me, every month.

I've started working on our club cookbook this week.  I seem to be a little over-whelmed with it, right now; but I'm sure as I get more in to it, it will eventually come together.  My biggest problems are 1), finding the space I need to decorate it, and 2) figuring out how to get as many recipes in to as we can.  Unfortunately, I don't think we will be able to get more than 30, so that means each member will only be able to submit two recipes.  I'm very disappointed about that, but then again, I guess we aren't trying to publish a complete cookbook, either.  I really wanted to do more.  At work we used to call this "scope creep".  So, I have to remember the real "scope" of the project, and what it is really meant to represent.  A small, cute little gift to keep or share.  I guess we could always make multiple versions until we get everything that we want.  There is always next year, although we may not want to do the same thing again. 

I have also started work on the March club greeting cards.  They are coming along well.  We will be making a St. Patrick's card, 2 Easter cards, Graduation, and Toddler Birthday.  I will try to post them later on this month.

Take care everyone, I'll see you soon.  Please remember:  you can always comment on my posts out here!

Until next time...
