New Classes Booked!

I have been having a great time creating, planning and spending time gearing up for the busiest season for me! I have so much going on and my calendar is getting full! I just added a wonderful Altered Jewelry Class at Scrapbook Territory on Saturday August 14th at 2pm. We'll make these two beautiful altered jewelry pieces and you'll have a ton of fun creating!


I am also going to be teaching a really fun class at my home in Walnut Creek. Its this beautiful Altered Box. We'll play with the gorgeous My Girls Paperie Papers, cute mini Fairies, buttons, flowers and ribbon! This class will be on Sunday August 22nd at 1pm in my home. I'll have a mini shopping area with all kinds of fun goodies as well! To sign up for this class, see HERE on my website or just email me at theartlife@yahoo.com. Hope to see you there! These are the best days to me... I love the intimate crafting time. I promise to have more at my home this fall!

This weekend is the Art and Wine Festival in Alameda, My August Schedule is Jam packed so see sidebar for all the upcoming events, and I hope to see you soon!

Been Creating and Playing!

In two weeks, I'll be participating in my first Art and Wine Festival in Alameda. This is going to be a big step and I am excited and nervous about doing a two day show! I have to start organizing and figuring out what I am going to show. It can't be a "Scrapbooking" book, its going to be more of an Artist booth, so I am bringing all my jewelry along with a bunch of ready-made crafts. I starting making these magnet boards which are also dry-erase on the back. I think they are super cute and perfect for a gift for someone. I don't want to make things that are too expensive, I want people to be able to take something home and feel like they got a great deal and love what they purchase.
I have also been hosting crops along with Nancie at Scrapbook Territory. I really love doing this! I love spending time with friends, and creating, so this is definitely a win/win situation and we'll keep them going through the fall! I have a great 10 hour crop planned for August 28th and its already almost sold out! I am thinking I need to do these more often.. maybe every other month instead of every 3 months.. hmm... I started a Project Kit of the Month club starting with July 15th, and I am really excited about it. I am making these affordable at $20 per month, and you'll receive a ton of product, along with instructions to make the pictured project. This month will be Maya Road Large Bottlecaps which you'll receive two full collage sheets, a bottle of stickles along with tons of other fun things to play with. These are projects you can get done at a crop and give as presents. If you'd like more information, see HERE. I have a ton of ideas which I'd love to turn into mini kits, so it's going to be hard to choose just one each month! Stay tuned near the end of a the week for a giveaway here on the blog!
