Well, last night was the second "meeting" of T.E.F.A.L. (Tuesday Evening Fine Arts League) where the girls and I get together to watch a movie and enjoy some time without husbands, kids (well, Toot was there, lol), work, etc. Last month was "White Christmas" this month was "Singin' in the Rain"!
We have such a good time and next month's movie is "When Harry Met Sally". Do you have any movie suggestions for us???
In other (EXCITING!) news, I'd like to go ahead and get started on hosting a circle journal swap! 1. Because I love stuff like this and 2. If we start now we should be done by the holidays. Huzzah!
So what is a circle journal swap anyway? Well, long story short (at least for now), you start a mini scrapbook or art journal of sorts, mail it off to the next person who does a layout/page in your book, they mail it to the next person and so on and so on until you get it back all done up in creative glory for you to keep forever and ever. :D
I am currently taking sign-ups starting now through end of day Sunday the 10th. If you're at all interested, go ahead and let me know as I will send you an e-mail with detailed information so you can make an informed decision on whether or not you would like to participate. If you have never been a part of a circle journal swap before, I encourage you to give it a try! Whether beginner or super artistic ninja, I want everyone to feel welcome!
I am planning on keeping the group small until I see how much interest I get although I will accept 9 people max. For those in the circle, you can plan on mailing one journal once a month. Therefore you will have almost an entire month to work on one journal so keep that in mind!
A quick note: if you are interested in more info or you already know you want to do it, PLEASE e-mail me at justaddglitter @ gmail dot com, do not just leave a comment on this post! If I don't get an e-mail from you, I won't add you to the list.
My goal is to make this project as fun and stress free as possible so please feel free to e-mail me with any questions at all. Don't be shy, I'd love to have you participate! Unfortunately due to shipping times, this swap is only open to U.S. and Canada residents but never fear! I am really wanting to host an international swap of some sort but will have to plan out the logistics and it would of course depend on how many of you would be interested in that, so if you have any ideas let me know! :D
I hope you will join me! These are so much fun to do and it's a great way to get to know other artists and see their work up close! And if a swap or circle journal is on your 2010 Resolution/Artistic Goal list, here's your opportunity to cross it off! ;)
So in conclusion, if you have questions (I'm being purposely vague here to not write a mile long post, lol) or are ready to sign up, please e-mail me ASAP at justaddglitter at gmail dot com. You have until Sunday the 10th! :D
Have a great day everyone! :D

Hmmmm...movie suggestions? You already have February selected - so it would be March? How about "Circle of Friends? (Minnie Driver, Chris O'Donnell)" Kind of random, but it seems appropriate. Have a great day! Theresa
Hi Maggi,
Looks like you girls have a great time and what a cute picture! Steel Magnolias and Thelma and Louise are two of my all time favorite chick flicks.
I wish I had some paper skills so I could participate...sigh! Can't wait to see what everyone does.

I'm definitely up for the international swap. Maybe ATC's, stash or an open themed swap perhaps like the Labyrinth one I was just in where each has a partner and sends stuff based on the theme of the group?
"Call me a cab."
"Okay, you're a cab."
Love Singin' In the Rain. :)
Hmmm what are your criteria for movies? I'm on a Thin Man kick right now and I think it's because I just missed recording them all on the DVR - DRAT IT!

How awesome that you have a great group of ladies near by to watch movies and hangout with (sans kids and hubbies). Do you guys watch only vintage flick or newer movies too?
Wishing you a splendid Friday, honey!
