Sisters Hideaway

This was our second time to go stay with the sisters. It is a great place for a retreat. It is out in the country, just a beautiful area. The food is the best. Three days of heaven. I hope we are able to continue to go every year. Twelve of us from our church group went this year. We have all been scrapping together for so long it's just really great. They are my best friends. The sisters have this one wall that they hang up things that people make for them. I had made a page for them the first time we went and decided to make something new this year.It was woven embossed metal. I think it came out pretty well. I made some other projects but will post them later. Oh yes, the first day that we were there this dog showed up. It actually lived a few houses down the road but came and stayed the entire weekend with us. He was a really cool dog. We named him Cricut to go with our scrapbooking theme. We have such a great time at the retreats I wish I could go every weekend.

Awesome Classes

On June 26 I took the cert class at Ten Seconds Studio. Cheryl is so great, she takes time to make sure everyone is learning all she can teach in the time allowed, and just makes you feel so comfortable. I absolutely love working with metal. It was the best class I've ever taken. To make it the very best weekend ever I took the Tim Holtz class on Sunday the 28th. He is so great his classes move along so fast it leaves your head spinning. But when he says everyone will finish he means it. The project ws this cool looking shadow box frame. Tim did the inside and Cheryl taught the metal part on the out side. I have a picture of the one Cheryl did it's way more awesome than mine. The three of us(me, Deb, and Kalen) all took this class together and we all loved it. I now have almost all of the molds they sell!

Bi Tri Sometimes quarterly Update

It's my first update since June but I've discussed what a bad blogger I am before so I'll skip that and just do some catching up. GASC was a blast. Me, Deb and Kalen took several classes together the best of which was the Crafty Scrapper and Ten Seconds class. Of course. The crowds were a little smaller than in the past ( bad for shops good for shopping) that is not to say that there was not still a ton of people there.
