Upgrade

I am upgrading to a new desktop and will not be online for several days while they copy everything on this laptop to the new machine. Call me if you need to place an order or sign up for an upcoming class. Be back this weekend.

Mowing the visitor center

Can you imagine having to mow the roof instead of the lawn. This was the visitor's center in Anchorage. Just a really unique building.

Big Shot Class #1

Do you have a Big Shot and aren't sure what to make with the dies? Are you thinking of purchasing a big shot and what to know what to do with it when you get it? Then this class is for you. On Thursday, July 7th at either 10 am or 6:30 pm we will be making 2 projects using the big shot and dies. Class fee is $10 or free with a $50 purchase. Class size is limited to 6 and RSVP with payment is required. Free catalog with your first $50 order. Call or email today.

Dressed for the weather

This is what Jeff King looks like when he is running the dogs. Can you imagine? But I guess with the weather they go through they need it.

Puppies

One of the side trips we took in Denali was to the Husky Homestead, home of 4 time Iditarod champion Jeff King. I got to hold a 6 week old puppy. He really loves his dogs and it shows. The kennel was so clean. He did a presentation of what he wears when he is racing. I'll post that tomorrow.

Just a reminder!! The last chance lists of stamps and accessories is getting low. If there is something you want from the current catalog, please email or call ASAP! I'll have new catalogs for my current customers on July 1st and if you are a new customer you will get yours for FREE with your first order.

Yea, my favorite

Looking out of the hotel window I spied my favorite coffee shop, Starbucks. The trip got off to a good start.

Glacier Ice

This is a picture from Anchorage. It was in front of a tour business. Glacier ice, couldn't resist!! The beginning of the most awesome adventure. I will post several pictures each day for the next couple of weeks. Will also post my class schedule. Since I am now retired I will be having classes during the day as well as evenings. I look forward to seeing you in class. I will have my Alaska scrapbook finished by the end of July so you can see all the wonderful sights I saw.

Almost home

Hello. We are in Vancouver at the end of a fabulous two week trip through Alaska. I will be home on Wednesday for those of you who have orders waiting. I will be posting pictures at the end of the month.

Thanks to Dawn Olchefske I'm able to show you the new incolors. They are fabulous. I will be putting the In-Color club together when I return from Alaska. Please go to Dawn's website to see the comparisons of the colors. I will have the new catalog for my current customers the first of July.

Memorial Day 2011

Remembering American Veterans with honor and thanks.

Time off

Good morning. It has been awhile since I've posted and I'm sorry for that. It is the end of the school year and I am retiring. I've been cleaning out 30 years of teaching supplies. My daughter teaches K and will receive most of them.

I am taking time off from classes and will post updates as I have them. Beginning July 1 I will be offering classes during the day as well as evenings. I really want to amp my business up this next year and you will receive the benefits. Schedule a workshop after July 1 and I have a special gift for you. Call or email to secure your date.
