Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! As I say "until next year" to the holidays, I look forward to the many things to come. I'm going to be joining the spouses group for DH squadron. I hope to be a great asset for the spouses and families of our airmen. Haley will be finishing the first semester of 6th grade homeschooling. We are looking to surpass 6th grade during the second semester and hopefully start the 7th. Aim high;). I also look forward to new classes coming to Michaels this Spring. There will be a couple technique classes that will be added to the class list. It hasn't been officially rolled out so I can't give any details but I am so anxious to share them with you. Until then, I look forward to hosting Crop Night on Jan 15th from 3:00-8:45pm. Wow! 6 hours of scrapping fun. I hope to see those of you who are in the area in attendance.

Today I led the demo for the Pinewood Derby cars. I did some research on it the day before so I would know something about them when I did the demo. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it is a event the Boy Scouts of America hold every year. I was able to make the pennant and display some products. Unfortunately, I didn't have any boy scouts come in to participate in the demo. Now that I am more knowledgable I can better prepare next year by trying to get some scouting packs to participate. Here is a picture of the products that were displayed and the pennant that I made.



To make use of my time that I had during the demo, I made a couple of cards for Valentines. I wanted to try and promote my scrapbook classes. The cards came out pretty cute in my opinion. They were really simple and took few supplies.



Both cards were made using products from K&Company, the Valentines die-cut cardmaking pad and a pack of die-cut cardstock. Other supplies were: Tombow adhesive runner, EKSuccess scallop edge punch, foam adhesive, and the Basic Narrows ribbon.

All in all, it was a good day for the demo. I learned a lot about the Boy Scouts and Pinewood Derby. I was also able to generate quite a bit of interest for the classroom program at Michaels.

Tomorrow? Mmmmm....I'll be posting some projects with my new Cricut cartridges.

Until tomorrow, have a funky crafting evening!
