OK...here's another bit of info....

Let's start off the new year right...should we.
Let's start a new poll or 2 on the sidebar.
One is a poll to see who's in or out on trading cards on Girl's Night Out.
The other is to see who wants to meet on the 3rd or 4th Monday of every other month.
The polls will be open until Jan. 4th

Which Monday?

Did you guys decide which Monday we will meet on at the last card exchange? If not, do people have a preference?

OK.. Still not sure...

Still not sure how many for sure are in for swapping at our girl's night out. Will you please comment if you haven't already?
Also,,,,we are going to meet on Monday, November 29th, 8ish, at Brick Oven. Sound good? If you can't make it I would be happy to take your stuff there! I wish we could all make it!
It sounds like changing the night to Monday instead of Thursday will be good. So we can figure out which Monday to meet on when we meet on the 29th.
Love you gals! See ya soon!!!

NEW BABY

Declan was born on Monday November 8th @ 4:35 p.m. He weighed 7 lb. 12 oz. We got to come home on Wednesday. Everything is going well.

A Proposal to Permanently Change our Date:

OK...so here's the deal. I know you are sick of my proposals but I have another one. Hopefully this will fix the problems with all of us getting together at the same time. There seems to be too many conflicts during the week, meaning Tuesday-Friday, to get as many gals as possible together. Since we only meet 6 times a year, I would love to have everyone be able to meet. So here's the proposal...how about we meet on a Monday night every other month??? I know it's family night, but it's only 6 times a year, and we could meet at 8 so it's a bit later. And there are rarely conflicts such as church meetings and callings, sports and games on Mondays.

Also,,,,would ya'll be ok if we change next week's night out to Monday, November 29th? We could go out to dinner, at Brick Oven, and have ourselves a little Christmas get together. Would that be ok? There are quite a few that can't make it next week.

I'm really not trying to be a pain in the you know what...I am just wanting to keep our group together, and add more if they want to join, and make sure everyone's happy!!
Please comment :)

Girl's Night/Card Swap

Ok. So here we are exactly 2 weeks before our next night out!! YAY!!!
Let's meet at Brick Oven in Provo...is there another one? Not sure why I just typed "in Provo"..anyways....at 8:00. And it looks like the gals that want to continue swap cards still want the tags...so bring your tags! 3 for each gal that is swapping. It looks like so far there are 5 but I don't know if that's everyone that still wants to swap cards. (It seems like Christy and Celeste still wanted to, anyone else?) So I'm not sure what to tell you on numbers. Maybe more will post yes or no in the next week or so.
Anyways...see ya in a couple of weeks!!

Cards or No Cards....

Please just comment to this post a Yes or No as to whether or not you want to exchange cards on our Gal's Night Out. :)
Just in case you don't really know what I'm talking about here...I sent everyone an email about 5 minutes ago explaining all of this :)

Just want to wish everyone a Happy Happy Happy Halloween!!!!!

Hey gals...

READ YOUR EMAIL FROM ME.  IF YOU DIDN'T GET A LOONNGGG EMAIL FROM ME TODAY, COMMENT HERE AND I'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET IT.  I FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT.  THANKS!!

How many?

Hello - I don't know the best way to get the word out about cards other than this blog....I feel like it's unfair for Tanya to kinda hold the whole thing together through.

I don't know about some of you, but I know that I feel sorta frustrated with the quantity....
Some weeks I make 13, like the list says -  but only end up trading 5-7. I don't mind a few extra cards, but the time and money it takes to make that many outweighs having that many extras.

I don't know how to solve it, or get commitments, or what we need to -- any ideas?

Card Club moved to next Thurs.

Hey gals!!

We moved Card club till next Thurs. There were some that couldn't come and some others that forgot and a few that were ready. So, we changed it till next Thursday!!! Hopefully more will be able to come. We look forward to seeing everyone then. Same place (Coldstone) at the same time (8:00)

Card Swap this Thrursday!!

Hey Friends!!!!

Tanya usually does this and I already messed up, sorry :)

So Card Club will be this Thursday the 16th at ColdStone in American Fork. I'm so excited to see everyone!!! Hopefully things will start settling down and routines can get back in order! :)

Card Swap this Thrursday!!

September Card Exchange

Is Card Exchange this Thursday Sept. 16th?

New Boobs!

Hey guys -- just want you all to know that LOOVVVVEEE my new boobs! The surgery went really well and I am still recovering but it's going well! Love you all!

Celeste

Tanya. . . . I really like the new look. . . . . . it's purrrty.

Okay....So....

Disregard the prior post.  I talked to my sis and we decided to keep card club this week, on Thursday, the 15th.  We really feel like Celeste needs to be with us, or maybe it's vice verse :), before she goes in for surgery.  So we will meet at JCW's, in Lehi, for shakes.  If we don't want to stay there to eat and stuff we can always go to Thanksgiving point and sit on the grass or something.  So we will see you all on Thursday, at JCW's at 8:00 pm! 

Please comment!

OK...here's the dilemma.  This week is our scheduled night for card club.  I have had 4 people say they couldn't meet so far.  Julie has offered her patio next Wednesday for us to meet then, but Celeste is having surgery on Thursday, so that's a bad night for her.  I really want us to meet before she goes in, and so does she, so any suggestions???

July

Hello my dearest friends! The 3rd Thursday is the 15th (next week!) - I REALLY hope we can swap that night. I am having surgery on the 22nd, and I really want to see you all!

Any ideas on where to go? I'm game for ice cream, or pie, or milkshakes...make your suggestion

Celeste :)

Card/Recipe Swap for May...

OK my friends.  Here's the scoop...
We are going to meet at Kneaders in Lehi, on the 20th at 8pm.  We will swap cards and last months recipes...which are breakfast recipes.  Can't wait to see you all there!  I miss ya!

Where to go for card swap.

Hey there.  So I called The Chocolate and it's 20 bucks an hour to go there, plus what we order, which has to add up to at least 40 bucks.  I am thinking that maybe we should go somewhere else on the 20th.  Whatcha all think???  Where should we go?  Anyone want to go somewhere specific?

ReCommitment time!!!

OKAY...so I'm going to put this out there.  And I'm doing this out of courage...cause I don't want to offend anyone at all!  That is not the point of this post at all.  So here goes...I feel as though our group is falling apart...and it makes me sad.  I know we are all sooooo stinkin busy, believe me, I really do know.  But I feel like maybe the umph isn't there anymore for our group.  I think we have simplified it by meeting only every other month.  That will help everyone, but I am wanting everyone to WANT to do this, not feel like it is a burden.  I love you gals, and I love seeing you. 
I am asking everyone to pledge, recommit, whatever you want to call it, to our group.  It has been super hard to get any response on this blog, or my emails.  It gets so frustrating to me to try to reach each one of you to let you know what's going on.  It's starting to make this not fun for me, and I want it to be fun. I feel like this blog is our lifeline, since we don't all live close to each other, or chat on the phone all that much. So I guess what I am trying to say is this...This blog is our communication line from here on out.  I just don't have time to send emails and post on here, nor do any of us I think.  So please check the blog on a regular basis.  I know that not all of us are on our computers all that much, but please check this blog and comment.  My goals for this blog were mainly to bring us closer as a group of friends.  Not just for info on where we are meeting and all that stuff, but to share ideas, life stories, inspirations, vent our frustrations, giving or needing advice, etc.  I value what each one of you think, and I would love to "chat" on here with all of you!!!  I think we are an awesome group, and would love to continue building our friendships.  I know, corny, but true!!!
Please comment on here so I know everyone got this message, comment regularly so we can have a great time, and please have fun!!! 
Also I know that there were a few of us that still wanted to do recipes.  So will you all comment on here and say what you want to swap...just cards or cards and recipes.
Love you gals!!!

NO swap for this month....

I have quite a few respond to my email that said they cannot go tomorrow...so let's plan on May.  We will meet at The Cholocate in Orem...on the 20th....and we will swap our breakfast recipes and cards.  Sound good? :)
Have a good month and we will live it up in May before our kids are out of school!

OH and is there any of you that still want to do the recipes with the cards?  I want to if anyone else is up to it.  

Hey Girlies. . .

Looks like we are having a hard time getting people out this month because we are all so crazy busy. Should we just cancel month and do cards and our final recipe swap together in May.
PLEASE OH PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS SO WE KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT EVERYONE WANTS WITHOUT YOUR INPUT :)

Swap this week...

Okay...so we didn't get many comments for what day you all wanted to do the swap this week.  :(
So here's the scoop, since it is too close to Tuesday we will meet on Thursday, 8:00, at SubZero ice cream in AF.  Hopefully me and Julie can meet you guys late.  This will be our final official recipe swap.  The theme is breakfast food, right?  (I wasn't there when ya'll decided on the theme, but that is what I have heard.)

According to the poll...it looks like we will meet every other month, doing just cards.  There are 3 gals that want to still do recipes, which I am one of them.  I don't know who the other 2 were, but if you 2 would like to swap every other month, on the same day as we do cards, I am up for that!  Just let me know.  3 recipes are better than none right?

We will start our every other month of swapping cards in May.  This way we will not be meeting in December when things are so crazy.  Let's meet at The Chocolate in Orem on the 20th of May at 8:00 pm.  Sound good?

Hopefully I will see you all Thursday..but I will send my recipes.

So to wrap it all up, and keep the dates straight, we are meeting this week at SubZero ice cream in AF.
In May, we are meeting on May 20th, at The Chocolate in Orem.

April Swap...PLEASE COMMENT AND VOTE ON THE SIDEBAR :)

Ok.  So I sent out an email about swap this month, and about swap in the future.  So far this is what I have gotten as feedback...

"Every month seems to come around faster and faster.  I think if we went back to every other month it would be less stress.  Especially with summer coming.   FYI, next Thursday is the pinewood derby so I probably wont be there.   I like doing recipes because they are easier for some reason.  But, whatever the majority wants to do, i'm cool with.

Thanks for all you do to keep the glitter gals going!"

 "ok this is just my opinion.....

 I would rather do this month next week

I would rather do just cards and I would like to do

every other month....

There ya go" 

 

Another gal wants to do every other month for cards and no recipes, and wants to do them next week for this month.  And another gal wants to do it next week too.

 What's my opinion?  I vote every other month too.  We could alternate cards and recipes like we do, just do it every other month, or we can just do cards, or just recipes.  Or we could still do both, and just swap both recipes and cards on the same night, every other month.  How's that for confusing?  So, I am going to post a poll on the right sidebar again.  Please vote for your choice there...I will post 2 different ones.  One for whether or not to go every other month....and what you want to swap.  We will go with the majority.

As for next week, is there anyway you all could do it on Tuesday night instead of Thursday?

This is kinda an important post, cause we are determining our club, so please vote, comment, and get those you talk/text/email to do the same k?

April Swap?

Hello my favorite ladies!!! This Thursday is the 3rd Thursday -- are we meeting?

We decided on breakfast food for recipes. Do we want to do it this week, or next? What's the vote?

Card Swap Thursday the 25th

Okay. So me and Camie talked today and realized we haven't been to MIMI'S lately, so that's where we will meet.  At 8:00.  Oh and MIMI'S in Orem.  Sound good?
Oh and will everyone check the sidebar and make sure we have everyone there?

Swap is officially Changed....

Well it looks as if we have enough of us that want to switch to next week.
We will meet next Thursday, the 25th.  At 8:00, but where?  Pick a place, any place!!

Swap this Thursday....

So...there are about a third of us that can't be there this week on the 18th for card swap.  Would it be ok if we changed it until the 25th?  Please let me know by commenting ASAP!!

OOPS!

To everyone who got my Pumpkin Cake recipe a couple of months ago, there's a mistake. I forgot to list the flour. The recipe calls for 2 c. of flour. Hopefully no one has tried to make it yet, and if you did, I'm so sorry. I'm sure it was a big mess. It's an amazing recipe though, when you add the flour (LOL).

Recipe Swap Thursday Feb. 18th

Yup...it's time to get together.  This is the third Thursday.  Can you believe how time flies?
So, I have on the sidebar that there are 12 gals doing recipes. 
We were going to meet at Celeste's house, but she possibly has to work, so we are going to meet IHOP in Lehi at 8 pm.  The theme is any chocolate recipe.  Yummmmm!  See you all there!! 

Just an Idea'r...

I was wondering since our recipe this month was chocolate....what if we meet at someone's house and bring a sample of our recipe?? Don't know if that's appealing to anyone. I'm willing to host it if you want to come up here...unless someone else wants to host? Or we could just go to a restaurant and forget bringing the sample...anyone have an opinion??? Just thought I'd toss that out there ---

Card Swap - and a Reminder of Card Club

Hey everyone! Just a reminder that tomorrow, Thursday Jan. 21st, is our swap. Meet at Brick Oven at 8:30 pm. Bring your cards/recipes and we will see you there.
I have listed who has responded to me on the right sidebar. This list is permanent. Please remember that if you aren't going to be to a swap to send your recipes/cards with someone. It is too hard for me to keep track month to month of how many to tell everyone to do. Of course, there will be a time that it's just not possible to send your stuff, but please try to come or send your stuff every month so we can just make a set amount every month. Does that make sense?
See you all on Thursday!

Happy Birthday Tanya! Love ya...

Let's Bring on the New Year!!

Hi everyone!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season! Are you ready to get back in the swing of life? I don't know if I am, but ready or not....here it comes!!

So what's going on this month for us? Well here's what I was thinking.....let me know if it sounds good to you all k?

We meet on the third Thursday which will be the January 21st.
We were thinking before of going to Brick Oven...does that still sound good to everyone? I think it would be fun and we have never been there before.
We will be swapping cards and recipes. I was talking to Camie today and we were thinking the theme for the recipes would be fun to do "5 ingredients or less" recipes. Is that ok with everyone?

Once again...I am not sure who is doing what so I don't know how many to tell y'all to make.....so please please please comment on here so we can count everyone up again. Please post if you are doing cards, recipes or both. That would be wonderful. And once again, I know there are some gals that don't read this so please check with them if you can and comment for them. Thank you!!!

Please comment ASAP so we can get working on our stuff!!!

Can't wait to see everyone!!
