I'm back!!!

Finally back after a long crazy fall and holiday season.  Several trips, some fun and some very sad.. My cousin, Chester Schuman, lost his battle with melanoma in December.  He will b e greatly missed by his family and friends.  

 Oh my workshop has suffered greatly.......such a mess.  I plan on starting the clean-up this afternoon.  This is going to be a long project.  I will continue to work on new projects as I clean and sort.  I did finally finish "The Men in My Life", my latest book.  Using a vintage payroll ledger for the cover and tons of ephemera.  A great book for celebrating the men in your life. 

 The class is on February 20th, 6 - 9 PM at The Happy Scrapper.  Class size is limited  so check it out and sign up. 

Now or never........off to the basement to start...........helpppppppppppppp.

The Wizard of Oz

My vacation was wonderful......hard to believe I have been back two weeks.  Seems like yesterday.  
Down to some business......my book, Musings, went very well.  I did forget one page of printing but the ladies will get that very soon.  I'm having huge computer issues. 

My next class is the Wizard book....finally posting some pictures.  It runs next week, October 4 & 5th, class fee is $55.00.  This includes all the printed material, all the paper and embellishments.  There is still an opening so call the store The Happy Scrapper to reserve your space.... Back to work for me.  All my printing is done for the Wizard but now I begin to get the kits together.

Off to play....

Summer Days.........

It's so hard to believe that summer is winding down......but with the cooler evenings you know its August.  I loved the heat this summer after our long winter but do so enjoy autumn.  Very excited about all the fun projects roaming around in my head.  
The Circus book class is going amazingly well.........all the ladies are working hard.  It was so quiet at one point it scared me........LOL!  They finish up tonight and I believe some will be very close to being done, shocking I know.  Thanks ladies........this has been a great class.
I hope to post pictures of my new upcoming class....... "Musings".   I used PinkPaislee's "Butterfly Garden" paper.....a soft feminine line of paper.  Now if I could only find the book!  I know I'm disorganized but this is ridiculous even for me.  LOL  Wish me luck.

Off to play............

Holy Summer Batman!!

Tell me it isn't so.........can it really be August?  My circus book , LeCirque - Come to the Circus, is scheduled and will run August 16th and 17th, from 5 to 10pm ( When you register and pay for your class you will receive a handouts  of the  paper dolls that are used in the book.  This will give you a head start cutting out the dolls you want to use. ( We won't be spending class time doing this.)  There will be several flowers to make and stickles galore to use.  Come join in the fun at  The Happy Scrapper.  Stop by and see the book for yourself.

Happy Birthday Kim!

It's my daughters birthday.  So hard to believe how quickly time passes.  Seems like it was just a few years ago that she came into our lives.  So on this date she and her family are heading out for a fossil dig.  I'm sure there will be great pictures and stories to tell. 

Also a sneak peak at my next book........... It's 99% done.  Soon I will have the class information available. 
Enjoy this great day......
