1st Fully Decorated Cake

Well, these cake decorating classes are paying off! My first decorated cake turned out great! Now, on to the next phase.

My New Venture

Okay, so I'm taking this cake decorating class. So far it's been fun, but then again, I've only had one class......lol. Later on this week I will post my first decorated cake. I'm really excited about this. Especially since I've never been much of a baker! Stay tuned and let me know what you think about my weekly creations! Plus, if you have any tips, they will be greatly appreciated.

Card Drive

I will be hosting a card drive at Michaels this Saturday from 1 to 5. All cards made will be donated to be sent to the troops. A very worthy cause. The cost is only $5 (supplies not included). Come on out and join the fun. Those of you who are thinking "I can't make a card".....YES YOU CAN!

If you cannot make it to the card drive, but have cards that you want to send, please send me an email at OColeman@hotmail.com so I can give you an address to send them to. Hurry ladies, our time is running out. I have to have these cards in the mail no later than November 11th. I'm counting on you all!

Card Drive

November is going to be a very busy crafting month! I will be doing a CARD DRIVE on Saturday, November 5th, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Let's support our troops! All cards made will be donated to be sent to the troops. Supplies are not included but its worth spending $5 - $10 to let someone know that they are being thought about.

Birthday Cards

I've been pretty busy lately, but I had to take some time out to make b-day cards for my sister and co-worker. I think they came out great! I used the Forever Young and the Celebration cartridges.....these were super easy! I'm learning new techniques for ribbon and I am dying to try all of them.....lol.

Card Drive

I will be hosting another card drive on Saturday, November 5, 2011, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Michaels on Hurstbourne. Come and show your support for our troops. The cost is just $5.00, supplies not included. All cards made will be donated to be sent to the troops for Christmas. MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!

Scrapping Space

Well, after finally buckling down, I tackled my scrapbook room and finally got it cleaned and organized! I am so proud of myself....lol. Now if I can just keep it that way.

SATURDAY - SEPTEMBER 24, 2011 - 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

I've been slacking off here lately but now it's time for me to get back into my scrappin'. I took a stab at making my own paper. I'm pleased with how it turned out. I'm going to keep working on it until I get it right. Those of you who know me, know that I'm gonna keep at it!.....lol. Feedback and helpful hints are always welcome!

NO CRAFT SHOPPING IN FEBRUARY!

I have entered a SOC challenge for the month of February! I have pledged not buy any craft supplies for this month (February).

It's going to be hard seeing that I have made it a habit of going to Hobby Lobby, Big Lots or Tuesday Morning on my lunch breaks. Now what am I supposed to do?? Plus, I'm teaching at Michaels two times a week...OMG! That means I have to walk in Michaels EIGHT times this month and cannot even window shop....the agony!

The rules are:

*No shopping in any store-Micheal's, AC Moore, Hobby Lobby, Archivers, and etc.

*No online shopping

*No window shopping

*No HSN shopping

ONLY USE WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR SUPPLIES!!!!!

I posted on the SOC site that I would do this, and I will. For the month of February I am going to make a list of all the things I THINK I want and/or need. If I still want and/or need those items come March, I will go get them. If not, I will cross it off the list....again, money saved!

STARTING TODAY, If you want to participate and you are not a member of SOC you can join this site of wonderful, talented women at http://scrapsofcolor.ning.com/. Or, if you just want to leave me a comment, please do so. We CAN do this!

Last Week

Last week turned out to be a great week! I was offered an additional SDU teaching position. Now I will be teaching two scrapbook classes! Yeah me! I found a great site http://scrapsofcolor.ning.com/, (see badge below). The ladies on the site are WONDERFUL! I see now that I will have to get better with posting!

New Friends

I've started my teaching my scrapbook class at Michael's and have been offered the opportunity to teach classes at another store! Attendance isn't what I want it to be, but I'm working on it. In the meantime, I am meeting some WONDERFUL ladies. I want to take this opportunity to say "THANK YOU" to everyone that I have met and talked with. While my start is slow, these ladies are making it pleasant and I know in the long run it will be worth it!

SIX HOUR CROP

I will be hosting a six hour crop at Michael's (Hurstbourne Lane) on Saturday, January 5, 2011 from 1:00 to 7:00 p.m. The registration is only $5!!! Come join the fun! There will be door prizes and shop while you crop coupons!
