We had an amazingly fun day Saturday.  We got to visit with lots of people we haven't seen in a while.  The Make 'n Take was a huge success.  Here's a "phone" photo of it.

  

We used a variety of dies and a stamp from My Favorite Things. The background colors are Distress Inks.

SUMMER SWAP: We also began giving out templates for our Summer "Fishy" swap.  If you would like to participate, come by for a set of templates.

Demo Day was a blast and the Make-It-Take-It was so quick there was almost no waiting.  Our good friend, Terri, the Sizzix rep manned the Demo Bar.  Everyone loved her and she had a great time.....  so THANKS! for making her feel so welcome AND a big Thank You to Terri for helping us out this month!

Lisa got to hang out at her sign-up table for the first time ever.  I think she had a good time and I know that everyone learned a great deal about the classes to come.  And now it's time to reveal the November schedule.....

Xmas Tag Shadow Box

Picture does not do justice to this class.   AND (how many times can I use the word AND??) - this class was so popular on Demo Day that Lisa had to add an additional date to the schedule.  You will need to provide the frame (10x20 shadow box available at Michael's) but, if you don't want to use a frame, you can just make the tags to use for another project.

Lovely classes....  something for everyone.  Call or drop by to sign up for one or all.  Payment of class fees guarantees your spot in class.

That's it for now.....  Until next post..... Happy Creatin'!
