Cards for the November 18th class.

Learn to make 2 Waterfall Cards and using the same stamp but make 2 entirely different cards.

You will need to bring the basics supplies plus pop-up dots and double-sided foam strips, sold at FKS.

You may also bring your own color pencils or markers.

You will make a bonus Bag and Tag.

And as always, a little surprise!

Cards were displayed at the store Friday.  I forgot to take a picture, but I will remedy that tomorrow afternoon.

Halloween get together at our home was a blast!  It was laid back and relaxing.  The cutest trick or treaters!  Good food and good friends, what more do ya need!

Happy Hallloween!!!

Getting ready for our get together and all the trick or treaters!

This is on of my favorite days!

Turned in the cards for November card class.  I'm hoping to have them on display tomorrow.  We will be learning to make waterfall cards.  These are so much fun to make!
The next couple days are some of my favorites.  Tomorrow is the Halloween Party at school.  I love seeing the children in their costumes.  They are so excited to have you guess who they are behind the mask!  I haven't decided what costume I'm wearing.  It's too hot to wear my Tigger costume, so I will either be Raggedy Ann or a doctor.  So I must go and make treat bags for my students and prepare my costume, whatever it will be!  Maybe I'll be the character that requires no ironing!!!

I'm happy to be back home after a wonderful weekend in Princeton, IN.  I have learned soooo much!  My head is still spinning.  I went down by myself but met alot of really nice women. This is the first time I've been in a class with just store owners, designers, and instructors.  I was like a sponge, just listening to all the ideas and about the other scrapbook and rubber stamps stores in the midwest and yes, Ontario, Canada!  The classes on Saturday were open to everyone.  I met alot of great ladies from the Princeton area.  I learned alot about Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists.  Did you know you're not suppose to shake them to get the glimmer off the bottom?  I'll tell you another time what to do instead! I learned some basic techniques using the Copic Markers on Saturday and then Sunday I spent a whole day learning about Copic Markers.  WOW!  Sally Lynn McDonald was awesome (our instructor for 2 days).  I am so grateful for this opportunity to learn from such a talented lady.  I ended my experience this weekend with, TADA, Copic Marker Certification!  My name should appear on the website in about 3 weeks! 

Back to reality, I need to unpack my stuff and start a load of wash!  I can't wait to be artsy 2morrow!

A big thank you goes out to everyone who came to card class today.  I hope you had a great time.  I'm sorry if I seemed a little scattered brained today.  I seem to be having this problem all week!  It must be the Too Much To Do And Too Little Time Syndrome!  Does anyone else suffer from this syndrome?  Maybe we could form a support group, but that would just add one more thing to our lists!!!

We had a great time yesterday watching Greg play baseball and then the family picnic.  He did a great job in the baseball game.
Steph went skydiving today!  I couldn't believe she was going to do it, but she did!  We have the pictures and DVD to prove it.  I was kind of worried but after seeing the DVD of her jumping, I think I want to go!  It was pretty cool.
Getting things ready for my week at school. Tomorrow I'm going to prepare the card class and clean up the art studio.  Yikes, it looks like a tornado went through it!  I am starting to get excited about my trip to Princeton, IN.  I'm going to take classes on Saturday and then the Copic Marker Certification Class on Sunday.  I talked to the owner of the LSS and was told there were people coming from Ontario to take the class.  There will be quite a few people from out of town.  It's always good to meet new friends.The teacher doing the Copic Marker class is also a designer for Tattered Angels (I think that's the name).  I'm going to learn how to use those misty colors sprays we all bought and don't know how to use!  Hopefully I'll come back with some new ideas!  I also found out there are antique shops in the town.  Hopefully I'll get a chance to do some shopping!
