Just a quick update today. I have a class in a few hours and also need to put together a video for Sizzix with the new releases for the summer- can’t wait to share!
Our second day at Beautiful Impressions was fun and relaxed. I taught the Chunky Book class and also did some Doodled Artist Trading Blocks. There was a lot of interest. Funny thing, a man and wife came in- they craft together! Mary, the store owner, said they take classes all the time. Can you imagine?
I was happy to meet Donna of Craft-Dee Bowz and was able to watch the demo for her product, a handle little gadget that helps you make perfect bows. I bought one and can’t wait to use it it. In case I can’t remember how to do it when I get home, Donna has plenty of videos on her site to help me remember. Donna’s husband took this picture and I don’t know why but we thought it was hysterical but I said I would post it so here it is 🙂 Loved meeting you Donna!
Here’s a pic of Mackenzie who did a great job- she made an adorable Chunky Book for her dad for Father’s Day complete with illustrations. I couldn’t believe the details she put and how tiny she could write for a 9 year old!
I was also happy to spend some time with Leslie who is super-creative and made samples for the store- she teaches there. Then my time at Beautiful Impressions came to an end and it was time to pack up…
I left Westbrook and had a beautiful drive out to my next stop, the Scrap and Stamp Nest in Simsbury, CT. Susan and Greg had a delicious meatloaf dinner waiting for me and the best coconut pound cake ever for dessert!
Now off to get ready for class and a big drive tonight to Ohio… Thanks for following the #PaperTrail!
I definitely cannot imagine crafting with my DH…… it is difficult enough teaching him to cook at the moment! Mackenzie is one cute 9 year old and how lovely that she made a little book for her dad. Hope you have a good day tomorrow… Anne xx
I can’t imagine that either Anne. But it’s nice that they do… Mackenzie was a sweetheart- this soft little voice and so creative. Cutie pie…
Greetings from Annie Lou from Bella. I was just trying to clean up some of my dining room table before leaving for HAWAII and I saw my chunky book and thought of you and came on line to check things out !!! Did the lady at the Inspiration Station tell you about the ghosts ??? Isn’t that the sweetest store ????? Hope all is well with you. Have you been to any more creepy motels ??? Actually, Bates Motel is one of my favorite shows !!!!! Take Care …….Annie Lou
Annie Lou- yes! Very nice store… I asked about the ghosts. Debbie’s son is living upstairs and there are stories of three ghost personalities but they are not bad- just lonely. I hope you have a great time in Hawaii and keep in touch!
Many more happy trails! Looks like so much fun!
Thanks Bev- I am having a good time for sure. Thanks for following!
