I had to share these, I thought that they turned out SO cute! The paper is Capn Jack from Rusty Pickle, the stamps for the map are Purple Onion Designs and the red bling in his eye is Heidi Swapp. I hope the ladies love them as much as I do.

Wow, my class pictures are up on the store's site before my blog. Let me take a few minutes to catch up for those that pay attention to this place. (Sorry I have been a bad blogger)

This is my Rusty Pickle Eggs Mini Book Class. It was the sneek peak I gave you last time I blogged. Saturday, March 24th from 2pm-4pm. $15.00. Space is limited.

These are two pictures from my Sesame Street Colors Board Book Class. This is scheduled to be on Friday, April 20th 10:30-12:30. $15.00. You will need to bring 2 pictures for each color. (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple)


This is my Time Layout. This class date is still being worked on since we had to order the chipboard. Can you see Tammy and Christine in it?? :)
There are a couple more classes sitting here, but I haven't gotten the ok for them just yet. I'm almost done with my Mom mini book and I'll have that up. It is like the Eggs book, but using SEI's Winnie Walls.

This picture is from Tuesday when we got the 3 or so inches of snow. Reed and I got to play hookey from school. It is snowing again today, so I thought I would share this snowy day pic. I think we have atleast another inch or more on the ground.

Here is it, your sneek peak...
Yep that is it. If you want to see more you will have to visit the store or wait. Isn't that paper yummy? You just can't go wrong with Rusty Pickle!! This line is called Chocolate Bunny.
Just got off the phone with the store, this class will be offered on March 24th from 2pm-4pm. $15 There are only 12 spots available. So get them while their hot! 314-487-8131. http://www.forkeepssake.typepad.com/
Wow, it's been a while since my last post. Things are busy, busy around here. Earlier this week, I went and applied for another job. I am officially a teacher at For Keeps Sake in South County. (St. Louis) Looks like my first class is going to be at the end of March, unless I can get something else put together before then. I am working hard on that, plus I joined their design team. So that is 2 DTs I am currently on. I am having a blast! It is great to be able to do what you love and share it with others.
I got to meet Theresa Tyree, she is one of the Swappin Divas that I have been talking to on the internet. She is also a new instructor at FKS. Check out her blog http://mymiraculouslife.blogspot.com/. She has a lot of great stuff there AND she is getting ready to have a challenge with a great RAK.
She also has the link to the What Paper are You Quiz. Which I thought was quite funny. I am Bazzill cardstock, LOL. Here is what it said, "Your style is pretty laid back. You enjoy straight linear pages and although you don't mind experimenting with all the newest products, your favorite pages always seem to be the ones with solid colors. With 130 custom textured and over 300 total cardstock colors to choose from, you're sure to find what you need in bazzill paper and you like it!"
I'm uploading the pictures of my first class and will give you a sneek peak in just a minute. I hope you love Rusty Pickle!!

Sorry for being such a poor blogger lately. Things are always busy around here. We had a great snow (I still have to load the snowman pics in) and over on TwoPeas they had CHA in Spirit Day. A bunch of us put together challenges throughout the day to do for prizes. It was SO much fun! I was completely wiped out and I only got a couple LOs finished. But I wanted to share them with you. I am still working on some others.

Been busy at work, I volunteered to move classes. I am now the head teacher for the toddler class. Should be a lot of fun, I have been working extra hours to get everything the way I want it. We are also knocking down 2 of the walls where the old office was and I get that extra room. Woohoo. So I will probably be working this weekend too.

School is crazy, I just finished a 3-5 page research paper and now we are onto 5-7 pages. He already said that our last one will be 13-15 pages. I am SO not looking forward to that.

I am anxious to get to the store and see what Ann has ordered from CHA. I LOVE getting to play with all the new product. It has been a while since I had to work for the store.

CKC (Creating Keepsakes Convention) is coming up in April. I am already signed up and will also be TAing a lot again. My schedule is:

Thursday night- TA 5:30-9:00
Friday- 8:30-10:30 Rusty Pickle Everything Mini Album
Shop Shop Shop :) Maybe TA a bit
6pm-8pm- Card Swap

Saturday- Acrylic Mania II 8:30-9:30
