Not much time for stamping this week so decided to use Family Day morning to get creative with some of the Sale-A-Bration Sets . Here are some of the cards I put together this morning. Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day and is enjoying this nice sunny weather we are receiving for Family Day!
So my goal for this year is going to be to try and post at least once a week and try to have a new sample each time.
As well I will now be offering a monthly class at my place and will post the upcoming class at the beginning of each month.
The Love You Much Bundle Class a couple of weeks ago went very well and we had a fun day of stamping!
My next class is called “Crazy for Cupcakes”
The London Regionals are coming up in March and I can’t wait! I am looking forward to learning new ideas and meeting more demonstrators.
It has been a while since I last posted. I was busy working up in cottage country for the better part of this past week. Was hit with some of the snow they got, but was lucky enough to be south of Orillia by the time the worst of the storm hit on Friday.
This means that I made it to Provincial Annual on time. I had a fantastic week-end meeting new friends and learning new skills that I will be applying to my unit program planning.
Last night we were entertained by the Drum Cafe. They were so much fun and we had lots of laughs and fun.Who knew that drumming could be so much fun!
So it has been a while since I last posted. I have been putting my new supplies to good use. I made a number of bookmarks last week-end towards my swaps for Provincial Annual coming up.
Tonight was Brownie Enrollment. The girls were so excited to say their promise in front of everyone. It was great.
Have just about finished my skirt. I only have the bottom hem left to finish off. It is exciting that the skirt is definitely wearable and I learned so many thing during my classes.
I have put together some of my ornaments from the Star Bright Kit and from the new Country Living kit. They are as nice as they look in the pictures and again they are quick to put together.
I received my latest order from Stampin’ Up! and boy was I excited to check out all of the fun new stuff. I put together my Create-A-Calendar
and found it to be a quick easy gift to make for someone. I also started making some of the items in the special Country Living Kit
There are some great supplies in there, that I didn’t even realize I would get. I will be busy for a while with all of my new papers, stamp sets, punches, etc. The next task will be where to store it all.
I am hoping to start working on my snowflake garland this week if I have time, although I have some sewing to catch up on as well before my last class Saturday morning. So the garland may have to wait until the week-end.
What a nice week-end we are having. These beautiful fall days bring back fond memories of raking leaves into a pile to be able to jump into them when we were younger.
My skirt is almost complete. ;I will work on the lining this week and then next Saturday we will do the finishing. I had to take the skirt in at least one size this week, but it fits nicely now.
The Toronto Sailing and Canoe Club Banquet was last night. It was a great chance to catch up with friends and we had a great dinner.
Happy Halloween! There were some fantastic costumes out there tonight, but sadly we didn’t see very many children coming by to trick or treat. We could not have asked for nicer weather. It is hard to believe that we had snow only a couple of nights ago.
Tomorrow is my second last sewing class and hopefully we will be able to take my skirt in enough to fit properly as at this time it is about 2 sizes too big. Funny how following the pattern I end up with a bigger skirt than I had aimed to make.
We got to see some beautiful new pictures of our little niece that my sister-in-law had professionally done. The photographer took some amazing shots, so now the big problem is narrowing down the ones we want to order (I would love to get a copy of all, but the wallet doesn’t agree with that!).
It has been a busy week so far. Last night I went up to Barrie after work for a meeting to plan the summer program for Doe Lake Girl Guide Camp. We worked into the wee hours of the morning (1:30 am) getting ideas down on paper. It took us a few hours to get home since the snow was coming down straight at us along the 400. We pulled off at Bradford and then made our way over to Yonge to head the rest of the way home. It made for a very late night and quite the adventure.
Tonight was our Brownie Halloween Party! There were some very creative costumes. Another unit had invited us to join in their fun and the girls had a great time. We started off with a mummy wrap contest and then moved on to some science experiments and bobbing for apples.
Sunday evening I managed to get a large portion of my skirt finished so it is giving me more time to do work on some of my other crafts.
I am looking forward to my latest order from Stampin’ Up! to come in as I ordered an ornament kit, some great Christmas stamp sets, felt snowflakes and lots of paper and punches. Can’t wait to have fun with all of them. I am planning on making some garland with the snowflakes. I am also waiting for my calendar kit, so it will be fun to decorate a calendar for the coming year. It may even end up being one of my Christmas presents this year.
So far this week-end has been very crafty for me. I decided to try and finish our wedding scrapbook as we were married 2 1/2 years ago so it is about time I finish it. I was playing with flocking last night and had quite the mess going!
This morning at sewing my skirt finally started to take shape, so I am starting to feel like I am getting somewhere, and that I might actually get this finished by the end of the classes. After sewing I went over to Caroline’s to make 10 different Christmas Cards (posted above). It is always fun stamping over there and we made some beautiful cards.
