So Much To Do - So Little Time!

It's a Sunday afternoon and I'm sitting here thinking of all the wonderful thing I'd like to teach and do with all my scrapbooking and stamping friends and customers.

Many of you have been asking for a stamping 101 class.  I've also found some awesome techniques and projects I would like to share.  And finally I would love to add events for Operation Write Home to my schedule.

There are some restriction of what I can teach at Michaels, but the opportunity is wide open for what can teach in my home.

I would really like to hear for all of you as to what classes or events you would like to learn from me.

Below is a card I made today from this week's OWH Sketch #219.

Scrap-In, Saturday, April 5th

Join me this Saturday from 2pm to 8pm at the Michaels in Dekalb for some scrapbooking and stamping fun!  The cost is only $5 per person and you get a table to yourself.  You will also be able to use some of the classroom tools.

It's just like your typical crop.  Bring whatever your working on and enjoy the time to get them done.  Bring some friends and make a party of it.

Space is limited, so call the store ASAP to reserve your spot: 815-787-0823 or go to Michaels.com and find this event under classes to sign-up on-line.

I hope you can join us.

April Is Here

Now that April's here, I'm hoping it starts to feel like Spring.  I love this time of year when the flowers start to come up and the grass (hopefully) turns green soon.

Below is something fun for this month.  See if you can come up with a card for each of these events and send it to somebody.  But before you do, leave a comment below and send me a picture of the card front..  After all it's National Card/Letter Writing Month!
