Fee: $45
Teacher: Cory

Photobucket

Cory has created an amazing accordian album with a shadowbox cover featuring the latest holiday line from Melissa Frances. This book looks even better in person - the images here really don't do it justice. Don't be deterred by the length of the class. There are a LOT of pieces and techniques involved in making this album and it will move at a brisk pace.

Tues. Dec. 16th 1-4pm, Fri Dec. 19th 4-8pm, Sun Dec. 21st 1-4pm, and Tues Dec. 23rd 1-4pm

Dress up your packages with a little extra flair this season. We'll make it easy by providing papers, ribbons, tags, stamps, rub-ons, and other embellishments and a whole lot of IDEAS! All you have to do is bring in your presents and before you know it, you'll have beautifully wrapped gifts that your recipients won't want to open!



My Goals for 2009 - Kid's Craft Project
Tuesday December 30th
2-4pm
Fee: NONE
Teacher: Lauren

School will be out and the kids will be complaining that they are "BO-RED" so why not bring them by to do a little craft project and let them release their creative energies? This project will take about 20-30 minutes (more or less depending on the child). They will be making a fun board detailing their New Year's resolutions or Goals for 2009.

The Nestabilities frames will be pre-cut and pre-embossed for you but there will be a demonstration on how it can be done with a Cuttlebug. Accessories on the cards are subject to change. Please bring your favorite adhesive to class. If you own Copic markers, please bring your own set to class for your personal use.

"Start the Year Right" All-Day Crop
Saturday - January 17th
10am-8pm
Fee: $15

Everyone's always saying "I'm SO behind! I need to get caught up!" Well how about starting the year off with 10 hours of uninterrupted cropping? You can get those holiday pages done and start fresh for the new year! (Okay - so 10 hours may not be enough to actually get caught up, but we can always have high hopes can't we?) As always, we'll provide cool goody bags and fun prizes for the mini-contests we'll have. Our goal is to keep this crop low-key and relaxed so you can de-stress after the holidays. You'll be on your own for meals. However, we will provide drinks and light snacks throughout the day.

My grandmother passed away

I don't think there's ever a good time or way to say goodbye to a loved one. Unfortunately for my mother, she didn't really get that chance. Her mother passed away on Wednesday in Japan and she has been trying to get back home ever since for the funeral. My grandmother was in the hospital for many weeks and her health quickly deteriorated over the weekend. The funeral is today. I think my mother will be going back for the 49th day service and I'll try to join her. I always thought I would be able to take my boys to Japan to meet their great-grandmother. I always thought there would be more time.

I'm rambling now. It's kinda how I have been feeling.
Big apologies to all I owe projects to and pictures will go up later tonight of January's classes at Memories Live On.

Will be back with another post shortly.
