classes...

7 November 2007

Over the last few weeks... (actually months)...Ive been taking some classes locally.... the group is made up of some friends who I have socialised with since coming to Barmera.... who asked me to teach them a little bit about scrapbooking.

.. SO....I put a kit together for each of them... and we had our first class.... there was three girls to begin with....and we created a very simple layout.... as this sneak peak shows......the were immediately hooked...and wanted another class....so I out together another kit... our group grew to four girls....and we created another layout....

....now they decided that they would like to meet regularly and the number has grown to five girls.... so the next kits were either boy or girl...and we did this layout... sneak peak..boy...
and sneak peak girl.......and so last night was baby layout night..... I honestly had no idea how much I would enjoy taking these classes.... getting the products together is time consuming...and planning in advance is also time consuming....and I think if anything ... I would be out of pocket.... but I have loved sharing it...and seeing how excited they are by every new technique...and layout.

So...next class is Christmas mini albums...

    Hi Mardi!! I love the baby lo very simply you. What a neat idea - you could sell those kits....?? You should try some ear candles. They are fabulous!!! you just get em from the chemist, it may help a little.

  3. Hello gorgeous.

    I wish I lived closer - you'd have 6 in the class then! Good for you for sharing your love of scrapbooking Mardi - there is too much negativity around the place atm, and I am sure these ladies are thrilled with what you are showing them!

    Sorry your ear is still giving you troubles. I hope it clears up soon.
