December Christmas Party Class Newsletter........

Hello, welcome to the December newsletter.........

 It looks like winter has finally arrived, the last few days have been freezing. Hope you're all managing to keep warm. As usual, it's been a busy month. Thank you to everyone who visited the Imagination Crafts stand at the NEC, two weeks ago. It was a marathon four days of demoing, but it was lovely to speak with lots of crafter's & see them leave inspired & buzzing with creativity.

Since I got back, I have been preparing for the final classes of the year, the Christmas party classes. I look forward to these classes every year, as they are always great fun. We will be using scenic stamps to create a miniature scene, which you will use to make a name badge & then we will use Starlight's paints to make a Christmas card hanger. Here's a sneak peek of the card hanger..........

There will be lots of goodies to eat, including a full buffet, we'll play some party games & generally have fun. If you've attended the classes during the year, make sure you have kept your raffle tickets, as the winner of the Christmas raffle will be chosen.

**Please bring a medium-sized, flat paintbrush & your piece of mylar from last month's class.**

If you would like to bring your own supplies, we will be using the following:

Starlight's Metallic Paints

Gilding waxes

Glitter Glues (gold, silver)

Scenic stamps

Jet Black Stazon ink pad/Archival Black ink pad

As usual, the classes will be held in Fant Hall, Barming, Maidstone, ME16 8NN, on Friday, December 4. The afternoon class, 2.30-5.30pm, is fully booked, but there are still places available in the evening class; 6.30-9.30pm. The cost is £18, which covers the cost of your project supplies & food, a deposit of £6 will secure your place. You can contact me by email; lisabaker1@btinternet.com , or by 'phone; 01622 675078, or message the Lisa B Designs Facebook page.

If you are unable to attend, three days notice of cancellation is required. This gives me time to fill your place & your deposit will be moved to the next available class.

There will be a smaller shop than usual at the classes. I will be bringing mainly Christmas items & a few other things. If there is anything you require, please let me know before 8pm on Thursday, December 4 & I will bring it along the next day.

**Don't forget to wear your Christmas finery, the more sparkles the better!!!**

As well as preparing for the December classes, I have been adding new items to the website, including new stencils from Sweet Poppy......
