Although, the weather has been up, down, and all around lately, the weather was lovely for the Transit Traders meeting. 10 Artists met, 9 traded.
Linda proposed that we meet for lunch before the next meeting. Please check your email for details. Jenn shared details about Adventures in Stamping, a 2-day convention in Akron, Ohio in April. The same organization also has a 1-day convention in October.
Jenn collected more greeting cards for the Mental Health Awareness Project.
Artists participated in the Blind Color Trades for May - Orange and June - Green. Each person put their ATC in a bag and then each person selected one out of the bag.
Then, Artists traded Pocket Pages. It is so neat to see how each one evolves!
Brenda brought a new product to the group for the Demonstration and Workshop : Nuvo Gliding Flakes. Thank you Brenda!
