Y'ALL.
Life has been whizzing by me the last couple of weeks.
My calendar has been (and still is) filled to the brim. The cool part is that it's almost all friends/family and scrapbooking. And it's more scrapbooking than I maybe have ever had (more on that later this week). On one hand, I love the challenge of having so much going on, having to organize and coordinate so many fun things. On the other hand, something had to give, and it's been sleep and the blog.
Last night, I had planned to stay up an extra 2-3 hours to make a mini album for the store and write a crafty how-to. But when I sat down, I decided that a few chapters of Breaking Dawn and half a glass of wine would serve me much better. Sure enough, I was sleeping like a baby 20 minutes later.
Since I'm all rested up today, I'm back to blogging. : )
I have SO MANY crafty things to share this week. I think I have more things than I have days.
Here's the biggest thing: I'm teaching a class at Crop Paper Scissors!!!!
A few weeks ago, I was talking to Emmalie and Emily at the store about a small tag class I was asked to do, and Emmalie invited, "Well, do you want to teach that class here?" Here was my response:
"No. No, no, no, no, no, no, well, I mean, noooo, umm, I guess, yes? I mean, yes, yes, I can do that. Are you sure? Uhh, hmmm. But I've never really taught before. Seriously? Noo, sure. Yes, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay, yeah."
Once again, I was trying to talk myself out of a good thing. But Emmalie and Emily were so complimentary and gracious that they convinced me to do it and got me really excited about it. As soon as I left the store, my mind started going a mile a minute, and as soon as I got home, I took a full page of notes for the class. I'm so giddy to think about it!
Oh wait! Maybe I should play it cool, like it ain't no thaaang.
I'm teaching a class. Whatevs.
Here are the details:
What: Christmas Tags class - I'll walk you through SIX different holiday tags, and then you'll have class time to make a duplicate of each tag. You'll leave with 12 tags plus a bonus ornament! You'll have your choice of two color schemes - traditional (red, green, and black) or vintage (pink, teal, and silver). The sneak photo is of the traditional color scheme.
Where: Crop Paper Scissors, Waco, TX
When: Saturday, December 3rd from 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Thursday, December 8th from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
How much: $30, due when you sign up
How to sign up: go by the store or call (254)751-7020
I'd LOVE for any of you to take the class! You don't have to be a "scrapbooker" to take this class! You just need to be a teensy bit crafty. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments or email me.
WHEW! So that's the first big thing. Second big thing tomorrow. : )
