I go to a Groovi group at Coleman's (East Northants Groovi Group) in Rushden which is organised by Rosalind McLellan and Lynda Hidderley. Once a month it is on a Monday and on a Saturday and it is my happy place. If you love Groovi and are in the area try and pop in and say hello. You bring whatever you want to work on, chat and have a giggle and there is always someone to help. For more details, contact Ros or Lynda or look for the East Northants Groovi Group on FB (https://www.facebook.com/groups/146976172795228/). The card I'm about to share the steps for has taken me months (not literally but literally ... I think! Lol), It has card I took to the groovi meet each month and I did a bit more each time ... literally just 'a bit' as I spend most of my time chatting, giggling, hugging, eating cake and chocolate and drinking tea. This group has literally become my lifeline as my bestest friends are there and I have had the privilege and honour to make lots more friends through it and there is definitely lots of love, support and care.
Well, last week I finally finished the card so lets do a step by step ...
