It's not that I haven't been doing anything...

Alright, I obviously can't seem to get the hang of this whole blog thing...
I have never been very good at keeping a diary or a journal, so it's really not surprising to me that I keep letting the blog fall by the way side...
But it's not that I haven't been doing anything.
Since my last post a lot has happened in the crafting department.

In the early part of February I became a certified PaperEd instructor for my local Michaels store and that has kept me a "little" busy.
I have been teaching several different kinds of paper crafting classes from cards, to scrapbooking, and inking techniques. It's been fun - but it's also been a little chaotic. I have been enjoying having the customers come in and take my classes, I really enjoy the art of teaching them new things and helping them to learn new skills.

I don't have pictures of all the items I've created for the classes, but here are a couple of the mini cards I've created for it:
I need to take pictures of some of the other items I've made, especially of the tags using the inking technique class, I will try to get those posted, honest!



Other items of note:
In April I; with the help of some very awesome friends, worked on some paper flowers that were cut from the Cricut machine. I didn't count exactly how many we cut out, but the results were fantastic! We made them for a friend's bridal shower for the beginning of May. We cut out and assembled enough flowers to decorate an arch, two hanging swags, plus have extra flowers to disburse among the garden of the home that the shower took place in. It all came together wonderfully and was praised by everyone at the party.
Here is a picture so you can get an idea about the flower's size.
And here is one of the completed arch.


I have gotten a few other things started in the process as well as worked on Sonja's letter project.
As soon as they are completed I will share them.

Take care until next time...who knows when... ;)
