You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
If anyone's interested....I'm having an "Open House" at my house on the 27th! You're all welcome to come over to visit! It's a drop in and spend as much time as you want, do my make & takes, chat, eat the delicious treats of my culinary-ish talented daughter..... LMK!
Hey Carmen,
I am in Fairfax off of Braddock Rd, between the Beltway and George Mason. But we would rotate houses every month, so people wouldn't have to come to my place every month.

I am looking into all the rules and ideas, and will let everyone know. I think for the most part it can be as laid back as we want it. I know that are tournament and stuff like that, that we can be involved in.
THis sounds like the making of some fun.

OK. So like I said at the get together I'm new to the craft, so please excuse my questions... that's the only way you learn, right?
What is a bunco group? and what does it entail?

Marcia,
Bunco is a dice game. We were talking about it after you left, I think. Some of the ladies are already members of groups. So I am trying to start one with anyone who is interested. Here is a link that has some more information if you are interested. http://www.buncorules.com/index

Hi everyone,
Sorry I did not get back to you sooner, I was sick all last week, and am just now starting to feel better. It looks like the following people are interested in forming a bunco group: Carmen, Michelle, and Vanessa. I know I have read that normally we need 12 to have a group. But I did see somewhere where there are rules for less than that.
But if anyone else knows anyone who would be interested in joining please invite them. I am going to work on setting up a Yahoo Group, so we can move our discussions off this forum.
So when does everyone want to start? I think we should see if we can get a few more people to join, but I would be game for the end of February, and I would host the first game/meeting.
Here is a website that has a wealth of information on it. I have downloaded everything on there. Bunco Rules
So if you get a chance read through it and let me know what you all think.
Talk to everyone soon.

How does April 5th sound? I can host it then. I wanted to do it in Feb. but my kids were playing basketball and it didn't work. By the time I looked at this month, it was too late, so I figured that I might as well go for April.
Let me know what works for you...

Hey Carmen,
I am available April 5th. Let me know if you want me to bring anything.
Also for those who were interested in bunco, maybe we could talk about it then. I can bring info too.
Can't wait to see everyone again.

OMG! How did I miss the date! You can count on me and a dessert if you want! Would that be okay?! I'll make it a healthy one if you want or, <insert evil giggle here> I can make you want to run my next race with me!! LOL! Let me know!
Hi! I would love to join everyone, but we are having guests that weekend. Sounds like fun, and I've been wanting to meet other stampers/crafters in the area (I'm in Leesburg). Let me know if you plan another get together.

Hi ladies! Ohhh I would love to get together with you all and chat! My 3 kiddos have basketball banquets that day but maybe I can escape and come by for a few. Can you PM me your addy Carmen? I am right in the Fort Belvoir/Alexandria area.
Carmen,
Yep, I'll be there. I will bring a dessert of some type. Can't wait to see everyone again. . If only Rose Ellen could be there, but I know she is having a blast on the cruise.

And I'm not sure about Cary (Miss Minx) and Michelle (Chiefs Crafty Chik).
Please let me know if I'm right or if your name is not on the list.
Thanks!
Hi there! I won't be able to make it after all---oldest DD has a track meet and apparently the parents will be running the concession stand? Just found this out. Sorry! Have fun everyone!

Carmen,
Thanks for hostessing a wonderful afternoon/evening get together. It was so nice being able to sit and chat with everyone. And your lasagna was so good.
Now to start planning the next one in May. I have volunterred my house. So I am going to start a new thread and see what kind of interest we get. I will post the link here shortly.
Thanks for a wonderful afternoon everyone.

Hey all,
We are trying to plan another gathering in May. It looks like we are leaning towards May 17. I would like to arrange a card swap, not a shoebox, just a card swap. If you are interested in attending post on the other thread.
Hope to see everyone again.
