I want to thank the

membership for providing

your feedback on our up-

coming Christmas Party.

We are close to finalizing

the location, based on your

votes. All I can say is you

are in for an absolutely

fabulous time!

Thinking of us having a

great time, Lori Bean’s up-

coming May class will

give us all a chance to try

colored pencils . So, bring

your creative hat. I can

hardly wait to see what

everyone paints.

See everyone at the May

meeting.

Your Pres

Louise Godard

Hello Painters!

Spring is here ! At

least the blooming flowers

and warm weather, says it

is. And convention is just

around the corner.

Not to mention, that

everyone that tried

Zentangle found a new or

renewed themselves with

this fun art form. Peggy

Frieden thank you for

providing us with your

class and fostering such

great fellowship. Did you

know doodling could be so

much fun and could be

incorporated in so many

ways?

I am so pleased that we

have both old and new

faces joining our chapter.

As announced all members in

good standing as of March

31st are entitled to a free

Golda Rader Seminar.

Golda’s seminar will give us

a chance to further our

Zentangle skills. Your board

and I are working and plan-

ning a fun painting year!

May Half day will be col-ored pencil Iris with Lori Bean. Don’t miss this class—Lori does fantastic color pen-cil art. See page 6 for details. June will be our free semi-nar with Golda Radar. The projects chosen, surfaces ordered and waiting in antici-pation for this one. July and August brings us Jane Mayberry. At the July half day, she will be teaching

a darling scarecrow light and at the August all day will be a poinsettia pillow wrap which is beautiful. You won’t want to miss painting with Jane, she is such a giving teacher and you will learn so much. Our service project work-shop ha been moved to Sep-tember. Plans are being worked on and should be announced soon. We have a great line-up of

teachers and projects for you this year—don’t miss any of them!

Ways & Means

P A G E 3

To everyone who missed

the paint in/ice cream so-

cial/painter's garage sale:

"You blew it!" The paint-

ers had a great time, the

ice cream was yummy and

there were bargains ga-

lore! It was a way to chat

and paint and eat and shop,

a painter's dream and yes,

you missed it!

Since there was so very

little support of this fund

raiser, we will repeat the

sale at our July meeting

since the May meeting is

at the bank and room is

limited. So if you have

more items to donate to

the sale, bring them to the

July meeting and I will

price them and display

them for purchase.

If you have some great

ideas to help financially

support our club, please let

me or one of the other

board members know. We

seriously need your help

and support to continue on

with our programs.

Thanks again!

MINUTES OF GENERAL MEETING—March 10, 2012 P A G E 5

MORNING WORKSHOP PROJECT – May 12, 2012

Information and Supplies Project Name: Oriental Beauty Iris Originally published in Paintworks April 2011 Original Designer: Janelle Johnson Teacher: Lori Bean Contact Info for Questions: lbean@gosafeguard.com 214-724-0210 cell Surface & Medium that will be used: Paper/Colored Pencils Supply cost: Picture and instructions will be provided at no

cost Supply Information: Paper - White paper to pencil the iris on. Either Janelle’s Handmade White Hemp Paper or mi-Teintes paper (available locally, Michaels or Hobby Lobby). Sample above was done on 4-1/2 x 8-1/2 piece. Prismacolor Pencils – Black Raspberry, Cream, Greyed Lavender, Lilac, Sky Blue Light, Yellow Ochre, Canary Yellow, Goldenrod, Indigo Blue, Moss Green, White. Optional: Colorless blender. Additional supplies needed: Tracing paper to trace your pattern on Stylus and worn graphite paper to transfer the pattern to the paper. Used graphite is better because you do not want

dark black pattern lines on your white paper. A handheld pencil sharpener and battery operated pencil sharpener (if you have one). Prismacolor makes a small

handheld sharpener and you can find it at Hobby Lobby. Or if you were at the retreat, you received a great sharp-ener with your watercolor pencil project.

3M Scotch Brand Transparent Tape for removing mistakes. 2” white bristle brush or any inexpensive new/clean paint brush. This is used to sweep away pencil crumbs without

smearing. Optional: a hard surface to put your project on, i.e. a clipboard or piece of Masonite. This allows you to pick up your

project, turn it around and work on it however you like. Or you can just work on it on the table. Prep (before class day): Sharpen your pencils with an electric pencil sharpener so that they are ready to go. Be sure to sharpen the end that does not include the color name! You’ll use the handheld sharpener in class to refresh your point without making a lot of noise.

That’s it! We’ll put the pattern on before we start class then relax and pencil our Iris!

Everyone at the March meeting wanted this recipe…ENJOY…Jane Mayberry

OATMEAL JAM BARS

1 cup softened butter

1 ½ cups of brown sugar

1ts. baking soda

1 ½ tsp. cinnamon

¾ tsp. nutmeg

1 ½ cups instant oats

½ rolled oats

1 cup crushed walnuts

1 ¾ cups of flour

1 cup fruit preserves, any flavor

The oats; you can use 2 cups of instant oats instead of adding the ½ cup rolled oats if

you choose. I like the texture of the rolled oats when they are baked!

Cream together the brown sugar and butter. Add the soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and nuts,

mix into the sugar/butter mixture. Mix in the flour and oats. Make sure all of the ingre-

dients are mixed evenly. Set aside ¾ cup of the mix. Evenly press the remainder of the

mix in a 9 by 13 inch baking dish. Make sure the corners and side are pressed in tight or

the bars well crumble when they are cut. Spread the 1 cup of preserves over the pressed

oats mixture. Crumble the ¾ cup oats mixture that was set aside evenly over the jelly.

Bake at 400% in a preheated oven 25 to 30 minutes until the top crumbles are golden.

Let the dish rest until completely cool. Cut into bars when cool.

Yellow Rose Chapter Members

One of our members who joined us last year is Donna Armstrong. After Donna

joined our chapter, she was elected as First Vice President in charge of member-

ship. Donna got right to work and has collected all of the member's information

that is necessary for member communications. Donna has organized our chapter's

roster and has made numerous changes to ensure the information is correct.

In addition to serving as membership chair, Donna has volunteered to lend a hand

to other board members when they need some help.

Donna Armstrong and the other chapter board members go beyond their jobs to

ensure the Yellow Rose Chapter meetings and activities are a pleasant experience.

A special thank you to all of our board members and chapter members who give so

much to our chapter.
