Class Time Today
I am getting ready for my current class series today (week 2) and thought I'd post an updated photo of my demo board that is up at the Michaels I work at.

Too Long!
I knew it had been a while, but WOW! Sorry about the silence.
I now make a vow that I will post at least once a week on Sundays.
Hopefully more often!
We've been busy with job changes in the family and fighting the winter blues.
I know it's too common to complain about the weather, but it has been a longer and colder winter here in Edmonton than normal and we are desperate for SPRING!
I have a page I completed a month ago that expresses that hope.
My girlfriend Jacquie at http://www.stamping4you.blogspot.com/ shared this technique called painting with glitter. She has also been sharing her Cricut machine with me and I am very grateful! So an 8x8 die cut lace background onto double sided sticker sheet (sookwang), apply glitter painting technique, mat a photo from our Vegas vacation, and adhere to finished background.

From Our Hearts
On New Years Eve I sent off my first box of cards to what I think is a great organisation.
I have been donating extra cards to local senior homes and local fundraising projects organised by friends.
I heard about this group through a group I make asian cards with and decided to create a box of cards from extras that have been hanging around my craft room. (this is step 1 in my cleaning up my craft space) When I was done, I had completed 150 cards!
This organisation packages up and sends cards to troups fighting over seas on behalf of many countries. This provides handmade cards for our troups to send home to their loved ones. (at no cost) If you are interested, click on the logo for 'From Our Hearts' and it will bring you to their web page.
Hugs!

Challenges
I have decided to start early on a New Year Resolution.
The basic rule of thumb is you cannot get published if you do not submit.
So in 2011 I will be submitting more layouts and cards.
Each time I do, there will be a link added to the right hand side column to point you to what I have entered.
Just under the wire, I know, but I have completed two layouts and submitted them to a sketch challenge hosted by a local Scrapbook store here in Alberta. Hope I win! The winner gets a copy of Becky Fleck's newest book 'Page Maps 2'. I do like sketches to help get pages done quickly!
Happy New Year to you all!
Hugs!

New Poster
Hello there!
I have to remember to post more often!
I have just completed my first scrapbook class of 4 students! I've been lucky so far that even if there was not a minimum of 4 classes, I could still run the class. I've met some great ladies this way and have gotten comfortable teaching the material.
As of January 1 though, if I do not have a minimum of 4 students, the class has to be cancelled.
Bummer. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I will not have to cancel too often!
Here is a picture of the most recent display board in the store. I made it flexible so that I could change out the layouts as the year progresses and also to keep it looking interesting.

A Successful First Weekend Blitz
Hi Again!
I just completed my first weekend blitz SDU class. What a ride! I decided to offer all 4 classes in two days (Saturday and Sunday) for those who do not have the time during the week, or wish to complete it more quickly. I offer Class 1 on Saturday morning, Class 2 on Saturday afternoon, Class 3 on Sunday morning and Class 4 on Sunday afternoon. While we were talking and playing, others noticed this and asked about future weekend blitzes. I love this job!

New Beginner Card Classes!
So this is exciting too!
My super - supervisor Sandy asked to create a four week set of beginner card making classes for the store!
I was so thrilled she asked me to do this!
So all spare energy was used to create, I think, a fairly good beginner series of card classes.
The first set of classes will be on Tuesdays in October, on October 5, 12, 19, 26.
Students will leave with a minimum of 3 cards per class, covering different beginner techniques.
All four weeks for $27.
Woo Hoo!
I'll post the sample cards in the next few days... still working on them!
