You Don’t Happen to Have a Silver Salver, Do You?

Last night’s card-themed crafting party was a blast, and people made some beautiful things! I wish I could find a youtube clip of John Wayne teasing Shirley Temple about her crush coming by to drop his calling card onto a silver salver. I’m sure these photos will fill the void!

Mark your calendars, at least tentatively: We’ll almost certainly be holding a bulletin-board decorating party in the English Student Lounge (room 4406 at the GC), as well as a regular 3Text crafting event on Monday, Nov 3, in our usual room, 5409.

Glammed Notebooks & Glamorous Crafters from Last Night’s 3Text

It was a delight to see so many of our wonderful 3Text friends again last night — and a joy to have so many fabulous new crafters join us and make such beautiful things!

Monique and her notebook decorated with GRE-flashcards. Somehow this is Monique’s first appearance on the 3Text blog, though she is an indispensable and bosom member of the group!

Elizabeth and Lindsey: applause!

New friend Angela with notebooks and cards!

Angela hard at work, 3Text bastions Chrissy and Monique perhaps wishing I weren’t waiving a camera around

Jojo demure . . .

Our next event will be on Tuesday, September 30, so mark your calendars! We’ll be messing around with cards — artist trading cards, calling cards, 19C flirtation cards, and the ever-crucial grad-student bizniz card — from 4:30 till around 10 pm in room 5409 at the GC. Hope to see you there!
