Glitter, Glitter, Glitter Class


Late last week, my sister Dianne and I took a trip to Corning, NY to learn a new technique at the Crafting Cottage. The class was called Glitter, Glitter, Glitter and I must say it was a "sparkling" good time!!! We were introduced to Elizabeth Craft Designs glitter products. And though it was a bit tricky, it was so much fun! Here are a couple of the projects that we did.




Our instructor, Barb, was wonderful! She was so patient with us! We were so excited about what we learned that I asked her to take a trip to Binghamton so that we might share this wonderful technique with our friends! I know that you are going to LOVE it!!! She will be at the workshop November 17th!!! Just in time to create some beautiful, sparkling Christmas cards!!!

New Scrap Room is Ready!!

The new Scrap Room is finally ready!! Thanks to my daughter Meghan and her boyfriend, we were able to get everything moved, built and put away! I just purchased another table (not shown) to complete the work space. I am more than pleased!

Stamping Station!! The highlight here is the the wonderful storage unit my dad built for my inks, markers and refills! More on that to follow as he is taking orders for these!!!


This part of the space houses the computer and printer! And my office!!! Everything at my fingertips!!



And here we have our work space. Unfortunately I took the picture prior to addition of the extra table but there is ample space for several of us to work together! I even have the mini workstation in here for my grand daughters!!

I will soon be hosting classes here so check back frequently as the schedule will be posted soon. I intend to offer a CRICUT class, a Tools and Techniques class, and a card making class. My mind is full of great ideas! There will also be open crops starting soon on Fridays!!

I can't wait to share inspiration, creativity and friendship with you in my new space!!!

Help make a child's WISH come true!!

I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer!!! Ours was very busy! We purchased a summer camp on Lake Ontario and started making some wonderful family memories there! I just love the peace that I feel being on the water! As one might expect, I took hundreds of pictures! And it is time to get busy documenting all the events of this summer!
Our first workshop for the 2012-2013 Scrapbook Season will be September 22 at the West Windsor fire hall! It is an all day event, and you are invited to come for a part of, or the entire day, whatever fits into your schedule. I have missed our time together and am very excited to share new products and some new ideas!!
This month is WISH MONTH! And we will be raising funds for Make-a-Wish - the nation's largest wish-granting organization, giving hope, strength and joy to children with life-threatening medical conditions. Creative Memories, in partnership with the Make-a Wish foundation, have created a new line of Dream products. For each Dream product purchased, a donation will be made to Make-a-Wish. You may also purchase Wish dollars. Through the purchase of a Creative Memories Wish Dollar, you can help grant wishes. 100% of the funds raised will benefit Make-a-Wish. For more information about Make-a-Wish visit www.wish.org . I hope you will join me in supporting this wonderful fund raising event!
