Happy Fall Y’all!

From my family to you and yours, I hope everyone is enjoying this amazing Fall Weather and are settling back to normal after the winter storm! We were quite fortunate that the only thing we lost was one of my trees in front of the house. Thankfully it fell across the street in the direction that totally missed all the power lines. I don’t think I would have survived a week with no power like so many of you did.

Welcome to All of Newbies!

A Very Special Welcome to all the new members of my emailing list. I’m thrilled that you love stampin’ and scrappin’ as much as the rest of us and wanted to join in my fun!!

Technique Classes!

My Technique Classes are in full swing and more popular than ever!! What is Technique Class? It’s a specialized class concentrating on various ways to step up your stamping. We’ll be doing 3 Techniques per class. For each technique, everyone will make a full sized card to use and a trading card sized piece to keep. The trading card will be mounted on a 1/4 sheet of cardstock printed with the instructions. The sheets will be punched in the corner and joined with a loose leaf ring. Simply add the new instruction sheets to the ring as you attend new classes. Come as often or as little as you like. It’s totally up to you. Not only will you have wonderful new ideas to share but also have a valuable tool to refer back to whenever you want to do the technique again.

My next class is Wednesday, October 22nd at 7:00pm. Cost is $8.00 per class and limited to 12 people.

Please RVSP no later than 6:00pm on Monday, October 20 to hold a spot! Should this class reach capacity and there is enough interest, I will open a Repeat Session on Friday, October 24th.
