I got these roses on our anniversary from my hubby... I think I should always have roses on my dining room table! They just make me happy. Aren't they fabulous?!! And they're from Wegmans... the best grocery store around. :) The buds open so perfectly...
I've been a busy bee, doing my "homework," working on the new classes I'll be teaching this fall and into the new year. I'm so grateful for the companies that are so supportive of my classes... they have gotten me the samples I've needed of new product to work with, even to the point of taking samples down from the CHA displays! Some still have the velcro from hanging on display on the back! A lot of product is so new that it doesn't come out until into the fall, but I needed the samples to at least make the class project with... so a huge thank you!! October Afternoon, Crate Paper, Jenni Bowlin, Graphic 45, 7gypsies, Unibind, Basically Bare, Hambly, Anna Griffin, American Crafts, and May Arts have all be so generous with supplying me with what I need to design the best classes I can for my students!
Here's a peek at my design room with all its creative chaos...
Piles everywhere, just waiting for transformation! I'm feeling so inspired! For my Christmas album class I think I'm going to be mixing product from several companies to make a vintagy, nostalgic album. Here's just a tiny peek of my playing so far...
The picture on the right is a peek of another class with a rich mix of prints and textures using the Random collection from Crate Paper. Can't wait to show you more and tell you what it's about!! I'm very excited about it!
The third class will be really special using the Farmhouse collection from October Afternoon, but not with a farm theme (unless you want to use it that way!) Our hardcover book album will be... oh, wait... that's still a secret!
Hope to see you in class! :)
Hi, Debby! I've been looking forward to seeing the peeks of your new classes - they look wonderful! Save me a seat!

The christmas book paper looks like something from the old wizard of oz books! And with all our chickens now laying a farm book would be great, though we live on the lake,lol are you teaching these in Fla? So I can book in advance? I think I hear your Mom calling!

Dave must have taken your tablecloth to Wegmans so the roses would be an EXACT match... Beautiful!!!
