“Bling it on
Canada” was
fabulous. Teresa Collins was
very impressed with our city, its hospitality, talented teachers,
The Scrap Yard store, the
venue in which it was held. She has posted great accolades on her blog. Her
only complaint was coming through customs at the airport and the first question
they asked her was “Have you ever had a DUI?” ARE YOU KIDDING
ME!!!!! That was embarrassing.
“Shabby Chic” classes take a break
after the Dec 13th class. They will resume the week of
January 7, 2013
“Imagine 2.0” was
announced at the end of the “Bling it on Canada” event. The
attendees of “Bling it on Canada” had first chance
to register. The next round of registration is opened up today to the attendees
of the first “Imagine” event held last April. The event date is
April 19-21, 2013. Venue is
Red Deer Lake Community Hall (pending booking confirmation). Some format
changes are: There will be a class on Friday night so the Sunday classes can
end earlier. There will still be 6 fabulous classes in the following styles –
Shabby Chic, Grunge, Mixed Media, Jewellery, Altered Art and something new that
we discover at CHAW2013. Lori, Susan and Lynn will be instructing. Home cooked
meals and snacks provided. A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to
book your spot. Final payment is due February 1,
2013. No refunds will be provided. You
can send someone in your spot if you can’t attend. Total cost for the weekend
is $399.99.
NOTE: Basic Grey “Page-of-the-Month” class will
be the first Wednesday in January for the December layout. Who is interested in
continuing this class for 2013? I have to make my commitment soon to order the
kits for another year. This class happens once a month and you do a double page
layout using the most current Basic
Grey collection. You end up with lots of left over product to make
cards or add to other layouts you are working on. Cost is $24.99/class with a
commitment of 12 layouts.
Have you registered for the new
session of “The Happiness Journal”? In January we will be starting the new book
called “Happier at Home” by
Gretchen Rubin.
Lynn will be continuing
her shabby style of altering this hardcover book. Space is limited to 16
participants. Register ASAP.
