#PaperTrail Day 10

Today was busy from the minute I woke up! I escaped unscathed from Motel 6 and headed out for the Inspiration Station. I ran into some traffic where they were tearing up the road and it was super bumpy. I could almost hear Scotty gritting his teeth but we made it with 10 minutes to spare before class was to start. Luckily I was able to park right across the street from the store.

The store was built with metal facings-you can see them just to the left of Debbie-  kind of an early version of siding. I had never seen anything like it. There may or may not be a resident ghost- glad it did not make an appearance today…

I ran in, set up and we were off!

First up was a class from 10-12, then a demo from 1-3, and another class from 6-8. It was BUSY! People were in and out all day long. The first class went really well- we used my Sizzix 3D flower dies to make the project below.

As soon as that was over, the demo/make and take started. We made the Sizzix Mini- Album and there were lots of great ideas exchanged. Finally there was a lull- we sat down, took a breather and had some dinner. Then it was time to set up for class at 6:00! We made the Friendship Box again…

I was happy to meet Kim, who created these really cool Sizzix Artist Trading Blocks  and will be teaching them for their Block of the Month club!

By the time I packed up and got to Sturbridge, it was almost 10:00. Tonight I decided to stay in the Scottish Inn in Sturbridge. It was the name that got me- Scottish/Scotty. I like this hotel- the number on the door is neither chipped nor written on a piece of masking tape which can only be a good sign, right?

 I really enjoyed meeting everyone and I applaud Debbie’s customers for supporting their local scrapbook store. Many thanks to my sponsors- Sizzix, ClearSnap and ThermoWeb for the supplies we used in class today!

Don’t forget to come back tomorrow night for another update on the #PaperTrail!
