What a fun day…

Nov 20, 2010

Today, I taught my “Home for the Hol­i­days” class at The Crafty Scrap­per to a super sweet group of ladies. That store is my happy place with­out a doubt!!! I think it is the best store in the area. Car­olyn has the best cus­tomers and the best prod­uct selec­tion around not to men­tion the sweet­est staff. If you haven’t vis­ited her store you need to… it is worth the drive. You will love it.

See the lit­tle sweetie in yel­low… it was her 14th birth­day. Her grand­mother pur­chased my class as a gift for her. Happy Birth­day, Gra­cie! I hope it was a won­der­ful day. Wish­ing you all the best and hope to see you again soon.

Each kit included three dif­fer­ent house tem­plates and lots of fun lit­tle good­ies to use to dec­o­rate. Every­one made one house which they got to decide upon from the three tem­plates. Some­times that got me a bit con­fused as I had to try to remem­ber which tem­plate was which but I like choices and fig­ured my stu­dents would too.  It was so fun watch­ing all the houses come together and  I loved see­ing how dif­fer­ent they all looked once fin­ished. And no sur­prise here I’m sure… we cov­ered the houses with glit­ter and the trees with mica so it looked like a lit­tle win­ter won­der­land vil­lage in the making.

And as my stu­dents were leav­ing I could hear them say­ing they planned on mak­ing more at home. That made me smile.  Below are just a few of the houses I was able to get pho­tos of. So super cute!

And now I need to start prepar­ing my part of the “Win­ters Won­der­land Snow­globe” class I will be co-teaching with Trisha Con­lon (Sol­der­ing Queen as I call her). We will be teach­ing this all day work­shop on Decem­ber 3rd & 4th. Lunch is included in the fee AND Trisha has decided you do not need sol­der­ing expe­ri­ence. She will gladly show you how to sol­der dur­ing the class.

If this looks like a project you would like to cre­ate give Car­olyn a call and she will get you signed up. Make sure you look at the sup­ply list for the class. Trisha and I both have a few items and tools you need to bring. And since this project has a win­ter theme it will be per­fect to dis­play all win­ter long.

Okay, now I am off to start prepar­ing all my book projects for ship­ment to F & W Media on Mon­day. So happy to have my first dead­line com­pleted. I am so so so excited about this new book. You all are going to love it, I just know it.
