EXTRAVAGANZA 2010

Do you know where April went?!! Oh, that's right. It went to a beautiful home on the Pend Oreille river for a weekend scrapbooking retreat. What an awesome weekend it was. We had room for a couple more people....maybe next year you can join us. The following weekend we spent at camp Twinlow. It was a great weekend with an entire different group of girlfriends. Awesome, I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks for the wonderful birthday.

May is EXTRAVAGANZA time! Do you know what EXTRAVAGANZA is? Along with my dear friends Crystal & Bonnie, we decided to create an event highlighting techniques and ideas for scrapbookers/stampers/cardmakers. We invite a variety of teachers to share their specialties. In addition, we have tables set up for non-stop cropping. Attend as many technique classes as you want. Changes on the agenda for this year include: hands on make-n-takes, a Cricut class, one-day attendance option, dinner Friday night, lunch on Saturday, snacks, bigger prizes, and additional hours on Saturday. We expect it to sell out quickly. Go to the website www.inspiredcreationsx.com to register. DEADLINE TO REGISTER: May 7, 2010.

April is my crazy month!

Yes, my birthday is in April. It has always been the one month out of the year that my life endures major changes....both good and bad. This year they are all going to be good!

April Stamp of the Month "Flower Pot" has got to be one of my favorites! We are going to be planting flowers all month long. Come join me on Saturday for Open Crop 10-7. We will be playing with the Caboodle Workshop on the Go kit. The colors of this kit say "Spring."

March Open Crop/Workshop

Join me on Saturday, March 20th for an Open Crop/workshop. We will be using the Veranda Workshop on the Go. To purchase the kit, please call me by Tuesday. If you prefer to make the 2-page layout and 3 cards but not purchase the WOTG, the cost is $15. Please RSVP!

Happy St Patricks Day! Giving my son, Patrick an extra big hug when I see him next.

Weekend Retreats!

First of all, I would like one of the March constant campaign offers for myself. It is an amazing offer. It is a great month to purchase a consultant kit. What are you waiting for?

Next, wow, you are not going to believe the response I've received about a weekend scrapbooking retreat! It can't get here quick enough, we seem to be a group of women who need a break, now. It has grown into 2 weekends in April, verbally reserved, hoping to sign the paperwork this week....and almost full! Exciting! Happy Birthday to me.....

The next few months are going to be full of fun events. March includes the Veranda WOTG and Open Crop on the 3rd Saturday, Briana's Tru-fit Folio workshop on Saturday, March 6th, planning the April weekend retreats, and preparing for the Inspired Creations Extravaganza May 14 & 15. It was a huge hit last year and we are planning for an even bigger event this year.

You Rock February to the Veranda March

February has been the month of "You Rock" workshops. It has been a popular paperpack. The stamp of the month (Piece of Cake) is the cutest and most loved in quite some time. Do you have yours yet? Hurry....only available thru the month of February. I would love to keep creating with it. The time has come where I must move on to the featured kit for March. Veranda will take center stage for March workshops and classes. March workshops will feature embossing and ribbon techniques.

****Please note-Open Crop will be on the 3rd Saturday in March. Make plans to join us.

Do you want to get away?

I'm working on a weekend getaway for the 16-18th of April or the following weekend. My email has been sent...just waiting to hear back to see if there is enough interest. Looking for a minimum of 10. If you would like to join us, let me know asap.

What about a scrapbooking weekend?

I'm starting to plan a weekend getaway in April. Want to join me? Fun, fun, fun, and more fun.

Let me know if you want more info.

Superbowl, Scrapbook, Saturday, Sunday, Sheryl

What are awesome things that begin with the letter "S" for $200 Alex.....

Great Saturday workshop at Diane & Gina's. Met some ML gals I've heard so much about. Angie was able to make it too. Yeah, Good day. The "You Rock" paper kit is very popular. I'll post pictures of the pages and cards hopefully tomorrow. The page kits will be available for purchase next Saturday 2/13/10 at the Open Crop.

I promised a few people I would have tru-fit folios available on Saturday, too. It's going to be a fun day. Join me 9 a.m. until ? 7? 8? 9?

You Rock!

Preparing for a big workshop Saturday morning at Gina & Diane's with the "You Rock" Workshop on the Go kit. This kit is awesome.

Friday night workshop

Wow! Great workshop with Yvette and her friends last night. We had originally planned to make tru-fit folio albums using the "You Rock" paper pack. Since we made tru-fit folio albums previously, I made the executive decision to try something new. Instead we made a 6x6 accordian album. I could tell a few people had their heart set on creating the tru-fit folio album---so I promised I would provide them with the materials at Open Crop on February 13th.

Stampnutt Unit meeting

Great meeting at Crystal's house last night. We have some great ideas to share. Upcoming 2010 events include the Inspired Creations Extravaganza in May, the Inspired Creations Escape in October and we may try to fit another event into the end of July or first part of August.
