Hope you all are well and enjoyed a tasty Thanksgiving with family/friends. The trees are bare as we begin to enter the Winter season. A great opportunity to make art and let your creative juices flow. Just do it!
At our last meeting, Nancy Swingle shared her expertise on using napkin applique in the creative process for many different applications. So many surfaces, so little time. Thanks Nancy
Remember art pick up at the Batavia Library is on Wednesday, November 30th between 10 am and 12 noon. Thanks to Chris Jacobson and Adrienne Austin for arranging the wonderful show.
Since everyone enjoyed our Holiday Party last year at the Patio where you can order your own meal choice, we are going to have a repeat of this success. Our Holiday meeting on December 4th, 12 noon to 2:30pm will be held at the Patio Restaurant, 7440 S Kingery Highway (Rt.83) in Darien. A separate invitation was sent to all members which included details for the grab bag. Many thanks to Nancy Swingle for making all the arrangements. Hope to see you there.
Remember there is no meeting in January.
Wishing you all a very Healthy, Merry Holiday Season.
Take care,
Nancy Castner
President

Going through my decorations for my tree, I find I am purging quite a few ornaments, which I think maybe we all are. So please do NOT bring an ornament for the Grab Bag

FALL 2022 CREATIVITY RETREAT (sponsored by Midwest Collage Society)
We had 23 people attend this year's retreat. It got a little chilly at night, but we all enjoyed great meals, walking the beautiful campgrounds and seeing amazing sunsets. We were all glad that we took some time and treated ourselves to five days of creating art, learning from each other, being with long-time friends and meeting new art friends.
Save the date for the 2023 Fall Creative Retreat. It will be Wednesday, September 27 through Sunday, October 1, 2023. The weather will be a little warmer than this year. Information and registration forms will be available in April.
