I'm not sure I'm going to be up to it this weekend. Tomorrow I HAVE to put in a full day and its going to wipe me out so I'll probably be in bed most of the weekend. By next weekend or the 15th, I should be well enough to get together!!

Michelle- hope you get better soon... and ladies if you want a third tag along, depending on when you get together I can try to join you.. I work weekends, with Thurs/and Fri off, but I can head out and meet you somewhere after work too.... depends on when you meet up, otherwise- my work schedule changes every few months anyway- if I don't get the other job I applied for (it would change then) I'll have a different schedule sometime in Jan.. they're leaving things alone through the holiday season... and after this week I actually have time to visit people!

Hey, that would be fun!! Heather and I are getting together to make a braclette for her mom. I make jewelry and I'm going to show her how!! I'll let you now when we are getting together. If it doesn't work out this time, maybe we could get together in a few weeks for a little holiday dinner or something?

The more the merrier!!! Where exactly does everyone live so we can plan a get together in as central of a location as possible!! I live in Royal Oak, which is a northern subburb of Detroit. For those who know the area its Rochester Rd and 13 mile. Rochester Road is about 3 miles east of Woodward. It would be great for all of us to get together on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, maybe do a little x-mas shopping together and have lunch? Any other ideas? How Fun!!!!

I live in Erie which is pretty much Monroe. I know where Royal Oak is. I have partied there a few times in my younger days! I have no problem coming up north a ways. I am familiar with Trenton, Southgate, area. As long as I have directions I can get pretty much anywhere.

I'm in Ann arbor- west side now, work is near home... moving to the east side, right off 23, but thats assuming this house sells... people coming to see it on Sunday.. I'd say we can eat here, but with the house on the market... there are a lot of places I can find safe foods around here though... so that might be an option.. but I don't mind driving and meeting you in any of the above mentioned places.. just let me know... I'm surprised at how many of us are in such a close area.. and heh- once we're moved, I will invite everyone over one day.. we can have a safe meal and use the hot tub! I can even make a fancy safe for us cake and have no one complaining at the idea of "fat free" cake! none of Bill's friends will try it when I make cakes that I can eat too if I tell them... sad part is the few times I haven't told them they haven't figured it out!

hot tub is at new house... seats 8 tight, 6 very comfy, 7 with one on the steps.. and I'll have my supplies.. the cake I made today in a different type of pan isn't as good as the same on in stoneware... taste preference I guess.. besides I don't have the turntables, flavors, colors, tips, etc to make fancy cakes here- they are all in storage.. so give about 2-3 weeks after we get into the new house and I should have access to that stuff to make a very special cake for us! see we can meet on a weekend eve (after I get off work) and I can make the cake on Fri. and that way I'll get to show off the new house too...

I wanna move around the holidays... the sooner we get moved the less I have to live without things, and the faster I get stuff back.. and also the sooner I am out of this house... and if we're moving around the holidays maybe I'll be able to get the extended family to give us cash or GC's for the holidays like we would always prefer so we can use them for things needed for the new house (probably sears- so we can get washer/dryer and bread machine at one place!)

most of the time when I make cake its heathers peppermint fudge (not always with peppermint- I've used just the vanilla or added nut flavors instead of mint a bunch of times) but in a different shaped pan, and then I use the fudge from here thats fat free or virtually so to adhere fondant- which is fat and dairy free, and royal icing for piped decor- also fat and dairy free... its wonderful knowing tricks of the trade.. the warning is I don't recommend EATING the royal- it dried into hardened candy like things, some people love the taste, to me its too sweet.. and unless the fondant is the marshmellow- some love it and some hate it.. but its not bad.. and even if the icing isn't eaten it makes the presentation so nice!
I look forward to meeting all of you at some point.. and if I wind up hosting us.. thats not a big deal.. its not like the new house will be perfectly furnished right away, but it will have adequate space to entertain!

I'd be happy to have a meet and great at my house but I think Heathers is more central for everyone. I have weekends off and the only weekend I have plans is for the weekend after Turkey day, we always go up north to visit Wills family and stay a few days. Otherwise, I'm free!! If anyone is interested, I could bring my jewelry I make if anyone is looking for a gift for someone. I use swarovski crystal and sterling silver.

Those dates are fine with me!! I would just like to get a solid date booked in the next couple of weeks because I have a few other things I need to plan as well. This is just an idea but I have done a couple of necklace making parties before. What I do is make up "kits" with all the beads and things you will need in various colors. Each person will pick a kit of their preferred color. I will bring everything needed and each of us will make our own necklace. Kind of like a class. Its really easy, no talent or skill needed It takes usually about 1.5 hours or so depending on how mu7ch we chitty chat!! I have to cover the cost of my crystals and supplies used, I could probably do it for about $30 to $35 a person. You can keep them or give them as gifts. Please don't feel obligated or anything, its just an idea of something fun we could do together. I would need about 2 weeks advance notice in case I need to order supplies.

sounds fun.. I teach scrapbooking and could do the same thing for a scrapping class at some point- make a page to frame or start peoples albums off.. I don't sell supplies anymore, but I have wholesale sources, of course most of the spare stuff is in the storage locker, so that would have to wait until we move first!
We could have a series of craft related get togethers.. and I'd be happy to help someone cook/bake things too if people want..

Wow those are great! Can we pick more than one stone? If so I would like the stones for Jan., June, and October. If not I would just like the January one.
Heather -whatever you want to fix is fine for dinner, but please let me make a side dish or appetizer or something, since you are being so generous with your house. I really can't wait to meet all of you. It will be tons of fun!
Amie- I would love to make our next meeting a scrapbook one. I love scrapbooking. I have been doing it for about 6 years.

I was thinking focus for the group- we do some sort of take home craft and a safe meal.. and we can get together a few times in the future... if people aren't in for scrapbooking- you adn I can do that another time just us, and I can do cardmaking, or we could do both... they are both easy enough to do... and because I used to teach classes I am used to packing stuff up and being portable with supplies and having spares to share if it doesn't wind up at my place.. if it does, we have 2 spare 6' folding tables I can set up so everyone has workspace.

Ok, Heather posted a site that had the birthstone colors on it but I have many more colors than that!! I use only swarovski crystal and sterling silver. I wish I wasn't so imobile right now with this darned foot otherwise I would try to post a few pictures of what I typically make. I'll try to explain it best as I can. I usually pick one or two colors of crytal. Usually if I pick two colors its like Rose and light rose, garnet and rose, tanzanite and montana bascially two matching colors. I will either thread 3-5 crystals on a head pin so it drops down with small sterling silver daisy spacers between them. Or, if you don't want a dangle center piece, we can make it more choker style. Then for the necklace part, I usually will string 2 smaller and i bigger crystal together again with the daisy spacers between them. Then I will string about 14 small seed beads than the crystal then the seed beads until you reach the leangth you want it. I will bring some of my finished product so you can see examples. I think what I'll end up doing is bring my bead bags with me and just let you girls pick out your colors. Since there will only be 3-5 of us that won't be a problem. When doing bigger groups thats too much and its easier if I just pre-package. But, this way you can pick exactly what you want. I have a lot of crystal in stock right now but if you know for sure that your going to want a particular color, let me know and I'll do my best to have it!! Its kinda hard to explain exactly what I do but I really think you will like it!! The dr I work for is kind enough to let me sell it at the office and I do very well with it. I have also done shows at hairsalons and had a both at the town peddlar in livonia for a while. The only think you will need to bring are glasses if you need them because some of the seed beads are pretty tiny. I use a kind of wire to string them on, its very strong, we wont need to use needles or anything like that!! Everything is in portable bags and stuff so its pretty easy to tote around with me. Once we pick out the colors it doesn't take long at all the string them. I have several different types of clasps to pick from as well!!
