Windy City Scrapbooking has coordinated a Meetup called "Windy City Scrapbooking Group". It is way for people with common interests and hobbies to "meet up". We are looking for all those scrapbookers, card makers, and other paper artists to join our group. Our first meeting will be held on Monday at 7:00pm at Windy City Scrapbooking. We will do a make-n-take, enjoy dessert and discuss topics for upcoming meetings. I am sure each of you has some secret technique or extraordinary project to share.
