Hello chapter members,
Happy spring days to you all! We had
such a great spring/holiday ornament
chapter day a few weeks ago. Cathy and her
committee did such an awesome job. The
favors and food
was amazing, We
had three fun and
easy classes, Cathy
Frazier, Anita
Miller and I
taught the
projects. Almost
everyone finished
them and they all
turned out
beautiful. Thank
you so much for
all the hard work
that went into this
day. I loved every
minute of it.
We also had
some great raffles.
We’ve decided to have one of the raffle
prizes be just for new members who’ve been
chapter members for three years or less.
This raffle is to help them build up a stash.
The name of this raffle is “Three Years or
Less Stash for Cash Attack.” If it weren’t for
the raffles through the many years I’ve been
in chapters, I wouldn’t have such a great
selection of things to paint on. So we felt we
needed to give our new members a chance
to gain this reward also. We had this raffle
at our last meeting and saw it was
successful. Dawn Rivard was our first
winner. Congratulations!
Remember, we are having an auction in
October again this year. I still have wood
pieces that need to be painted for this day.
And if you already have a wood piece, thank
you. We want this day to be successful. This
is your chapter and it’s because of all of us
that we keep it going. Last year’s auction
was such a great success, we would love to
see it be another big success this year.
I’m really excited for our seminar in
June with Shara Reiner. Liz’s committee is
hard at work making this day amazing for
us all. You really
don’t want to miss
out. I’m not sure if
it’s full yet, but I
know it’s close. So
give her a call.
There will
be a board meeting
on May 4 at 11:00
a.m. at Los Prados.
Cathy will be in
charge of this
meeting since I will
be out of town. Let
me know if
anything needs to
be addressed so I
can pass it on to
her.
Hope to see everyone at our May
business meeting. Committees chairs and
anyone else who needs to bring anything
up, this is the day to bring your thoughts,
ideas, and concerns. Remember we are all
here for you, to keep making our chapter
the best it can be. Plus we have Pat
Gettemeyer as our teacher. I know she is
very excited to come and teach us all. Get
with Cathy to sign up now.
Keep painting and don’t forget to keep
track of everything you paint and write it
down in the presidents challenge book at
chapter. The prize is ready and waiting to go
home with the winner.
Keep smiling, be happy, life is always
good even if it’s hard. See you next month.
Love you all.

Pro g r am s Hello Ladies,
If you didn’t come to April’s program, you really
missed a great time. We took home so many cute things,
what a blast!!!
I would like to thank all of my committee, teachers
and everyone who participated, because without all of
you, it wouldn’t have been so spectacular. Keep up the
good work ladies!!!
In May: We have Pat Gettemeyer teaching a Cindy
Makowski desert design on a buffalo horn. Something
outside of the box, so give it a try. It’s always fun to learn
how to paint on different surfaces. And this is Pat’s first
time teaching, so let’s show our support.
If you need to order a horn, contact Pat Gettemeyer.
They are $5.50. If you need to order the stand to hold
your horn, please contact Sheila Hughes. They are $5.00.
The price of this Paint-in is $10.00.
You will have until Thursday May 3 to sign up. There
is no prep for this class. You will need the following
supplies for this paint-in, Americana Forest Green,
Yellow Light, Burnt Umber, Titanium White, Payne’s
Grey. An assortment of the following for Cactus flowers,
reds, purples, and oranges. Brushes you will need:
assortment of flats, rounds and a good detail liner.
In June: Shayron Monahan will be teaching a Barb
Halvorson baby swan design. (See page one for a photo of
the project.) Shayron’s specialty is animals, so taking this
class would be a treat if you want to learn how to do fur
or feathers.
You must supply your own surface for this
Workshop. The cost of this workshop is $15.00.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact
me.
Thank you,
Cathy Frazier

Hospitality
Thanks to all who made our April meeting
very hospitable. Desserts were delightful.
Please contact me if you would like to bring
something for May’s meeting. Our chapter is
a wonderful caring and sharing place to
enjoy the joy of painting.
See you next month.

The Shara Reiner P ro ject : June 22 & 23
Our June seminar with Shara Riener is just around
the corner, and I’m happy to say we have filled up our
spaces, plus a bit more!
The hard-working Seminar Committee is going to
be busy getting all the details and fun stuff ready over the
next several weeks. We also have some surprises to share
with you during the “day of”! Not only are we going to
have fun painting, but we are going to have fun having
fun!!
If you are looking for a surface - look no more!
Contact Sheila Hughes to order the beautiful box with
fancy tray her husband, Mike, designed for this seminar.
To see the box, and the sample box Shara sent, please
visit the SSTDP website: https://sstdp.org/seminars/.
Each of you who signed up have your packets. They
are copyrighted, so please respect that. Also, Deco Art is
supplying the paint for Shara’s seminar! So, all you need
is the prep paints, and you can choose what you like. I’m
thinking Midnight Blue for the basecoat - because, for
some reason, I’ve got four bottles! lol
Last, but not least…Guess who’s coming to town?
Yes, Santa Claus, but that’s not what I mean. It’s
Rosemary West!!! She has agreed to bring us our Fall
Seminar in 2020. I can’t wait to see what she will be
offering.
If one of you get to be the Seminar Chairperson
next year, you and your Committee will get to choose the
project!
I’m so looking forward to our June Seminar with
Shara! Then, we will be talking Mark Menendez! I hope
you are considering his seminar if you haven’t already
signed up. To learn his techniques, and have them in your
arsenal of talents is more than just getting to attend his
seminar. They will be with you to apply to your own art
for the rest of your life. I know I’m preaching to the choir,
but had to say it.
I know there are some of us who have aches and
pains in our hands, but we could take what we learn and
have fun with it in short bits and pieces as we are able.
(You know who you are…;-). And if you aren’t there, you
are going to be greatly missed!
Happy Prepping!

Thank you to everyone who came to my home
for the meetings this month. We have a good start on
some of the cute favors planned for the party.
Next month I do not know when we will meet,
but I will let you know through email messages
exactly soon.
My hubby and I are hoping to do a little get-
away, but we haven't got the details planned yet. It
has been a long time since we had a vacation
together. So please keep checking your mail for a
note from me. And if you have any "homework,” (you
know who you are) please keep those brushes movin'
and grovin'.
If you have any questions, please send me a
text or email. My new email in the directory goes
right to my phone.

Pat Gettemeyer recently
received a pacemaker and is
recovering nicely. To quote
Pat, “Life is good and I can
move around pretty well
without hurting so
much.” (Now that the staples
have been removed that is!)
Rocky Teel is steadily
improving after her
surgery. She is having physical
therapy and is still on oxygen,
but just long enough to get
accustomed to her lung being
re-expanded. All are pleased
with her progress and we wish
Rocky a quick and complete
recovery.
Congratulations to Sandy
and Steve Kilgour on
celebrating their 36th wedding
anniversary!

Happy May!!
This year is moving right along. I would like to
thank Cathy, Gwen, and Anita for teaching us such
adorable projects last month. I don't know about you
ladies, but I adored each project.
I would also like to welcome 2 new members to our
chapter. Please welcome back Kathi Lockhart to chapter.
We also have newcomer Carol Manhart joining us from
California. Ladies, we are so happy to have you in this
great group of painters here at SSTDP!
Everyone should have received their directories. If
you have not, please see me. I forgot to hand out tickets
for those of you wearing your name tags last month, but I
did enter those who were wearing them in. Please wear
those name badges for your entry to win.
I look forward to seeing everyone at May's meeting!

Happy Birthday

Hello Ladies,
So good to be back to work as your Ways &
Means chairperson. You all certainly welcomed me
back with great sales of raffle tickets & books donated
by Sharon Shuster. We collected $111.09!—don’t know
how the .09 cents figured in but every penny counts.
Thank you!
Sue Crump has been the only one to sign up to
bring a raffle prize in May, so if any of you would like
to donate something, please let me know.
As a reminder, you can bring almost anything as
a raffle prize, gift certificates, baked goods, painted or
unpainted items or some other clever item. Cash is the
only thing on our “do not donate” list.
Happy painting! Thanks.
Mary Davis
