Wonderful Washi: I've been having a very crafty time with my collection of washi and paper tapes. In this class you will learn a minimum of 10 different techniques using these lovely little tapes plus a project for the next time you are entertaining guests. We will also be completing a one page layout using washi tape. The class fee is $7.50 + materials which you provide. I will post at least a week before the class with a materials list.

Ladies' Day Out: Six uninterrupted hours of crafting and socializing . . . and it's free!!!

Design Strategies: Do you ever wonder where to start as you stare at your blank page? Do you believe you are not as creative as your friends? Are you in a rut? Do you feel like something is missing or wrong with your layouts but you don't know what? Relax and take a deep breath. I am going to teach you some exciting design principles to get you back on track. Once you understand basic layout design principles, scrapbooking becomes easier and more fun. You will be loving your scrapbooking again.

A Taste of Canada ~ Fiddleheads

I do enjoy fiddleheads.  They have a green bean-y, asparagus-like, pea-ish taste and they are just fun to look at. From Chateline Magazine: HOW-TO It’s Almost Fiddlehead Season! Here’s How To Cook This Springtime Veggie Properly Fiddleheads are a Canadian delicacy, but undercooking them can lead to food poisoning by Amy Grief  Updated Apr 9, 2019 Fiddlehead season is short, so when you see the adorable green curlicues at your grocery store or farmers’ market, buy them while you can.

Week #2 Challenge: Paper . . . and I mean ALL of your paper.

Annual Organization Challenge Week #2   How did you make out with last week's challenge? Did you find your work table? Here's this week's challenge: Your challenge this week is to  S.P.A.C.E.  your paper - - and I mean ALL of your paper: cardstock, patterned paper, specialty papers, and all those SCRAPS! SORT:  Bring all of your paper to one area. Sort it all into piles: KEEP, SELL, DONATE, TRASH PURGE:  bag up, and assign a price to paper bundles that you want to SELL at a garage sale or online, and put the bags in the garage sale box.
