April Birthdays
Happy spring birthdays to Katie, Ann R., Tim, and Sandy. Hope your special days are awesome!
Meeting Minutes
Present at the March meeting were Anita, Deb, Julie W., Jude, Leslie, Ann C., Mary, Andrea, and Julie G. Jude was our nametag winner.
Show and Tell
Anita had been gifted some doll making items which she shared with our members.
Business
Ann C. is having new business cards made.
Leslie is preparing a map for us for where the May Joint Meeting will be taking place. This will be a pitch-in salad lunch. We have been asked to bring a doll that we have made that has a special memory for us and have a brief story to tell about it.
The Wise Woman/ Goblin class is April 11-12. We will start at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday and probably around 10:00 a.m. on Sunday.
The Round Robin doll exchange has started. So far those participating are Deb, Ann C., and Julie W. It is not too late for others to participate. Just bring your doll to the April meeting.
Deb's doll body is from a pattern in a book entitled "The Doll Book" written by Estelle Ansley Worrell. Ann C. will be doing her face for the next exchange.
