| Wow..happy Winter I should say! We have about 16 inches of snow here in Rainier! It really is beautiful, mostly because we do not have to go out in it today...the kids H.S. is cancelled today and my husband is also home and I have cancelled work for myself. So it is a play day for us! I hope you are all safe and warm as I write this. Lots to tell for Jan and into Feb. Just came back from my first retreat that I co hosted with the gals from "Scrapyard Chicks" It was a 4 day event at the Fall Creek Retreat Center ouside of Raymond. Let me tell you what a blast we had! the facilities were the best ever, lots of room, tons of food, (too much actually) and so much room to crop.....It was really really great! And the surroundings were beautiful too. We are talking about doing another retreat with them...possibly in July. Classes for January: 1ST Wed of each month we play "BUNCO"...it is open for everyone, $5.00 gets you in and we donate most of the money to the Susan G Komen fund 2ND Friday of the month I have my "scrapbook club" also open to everyone. $20.00 gets you 2 double page layouts that I design and then I kit up and we put them together, together. I also try to teach a new technique each month. This month Scrapbook club has been changed to The 3rd Friday because of the retreat! Jan 21st 2012 Saturday, is a fabulous Album mini using the Echo Parks "Wintertime" paper....(seems it was planned perfectly)...check out he the classes page on the website for more details Jan 28th 2012 Saturday is another cool class ...it is a "Artsy altered Heart Box" very cool, using some fun techniques with "glossy accents"...see picture and description on website. I would like to start up the Used Product Sale (UPS) again...please let me know what you think about that! This would take place the last Friday and Saturday of the month, you can bring in slightly used and unwanted scrap and card making supplies and sell the at the store...actually, I would sell them, you price them and you get in-store credit for what was sold. But since my new store is so small, you would be required to do the pick up Sat after the sale. I cannot store any of your items. Please give me feed back for this idea. 4Th Friday of each month We are going to start a new club....It is going to be called "Project Life my Way" The club is FREE There are NO rules, we will just meet at the store at 6 pm (or earlier if you can) and work with the product we already own, get our photos into an album. and journal as we see fit.....not on every page, not in a particular place, lets just get together and socialize and share ideas...I have already started, please feel free to come by and see the album that I have started! You will be inspired! We are also starting another club...this is going to be a "CHALLENGE club"...each month you can buy a kit...$20.00 and everyone gets the same kit. In this kit we will have paper, card stock, embellishments such as ribbon, flowers, die cuts, bling etc. And you will create something. Every ones will be different. You may have created a mini album, and someone else may create a double page layout or a wall hanging or and altered project. You are limited only by your own imaginations. We will then meet at the same time next month and SHARE with the group what we have made, and pick up our "NEW" kits. That is all for now, take care,,,,,,, stay warm and safe............ spread kindness! Jodie Sharin Memories |
