Happenings and Classes

Hi Stampers,

Well, as of today, my house returns to normal.  All of the grandskids and kids have been returned to their respective homes. The last two kids went home today. It was a fun summer, but can I say tiring.... non-stop for the past 6 weeks. At one point we had 6 kids, ranging in age from 4yrs to 15yrs. My whole classroom was a campsite! Loved it all! Now, to focus all my attention and get caught up on my business....

Here are the Creative Opportunities for August.
Trying something out for classes this month - A Day of Creativity, 2 classes in one day. See classes and guidelines below.

All classes held in my studio in Highland Park unless otherwise noted.

Hostess Club/Card Class
You will make 3-4 cards/projects that are easily duplicateable. Great for newbies. Also great to build your stash of ideas to use again and again.

Meeting options:
For August, club dates are the 2nd and 3rd Sundays
1.  1st Sunday meets at my studio in Highland Park at 1:00pm
2.  3rd Sunday meets at The Church On Pearl, 1520 Pearl St (16th), Santa Monica, CA 90405 at 4:00pm

Non club members - $20 class fee or place a $30 product order, then your class is free

Club memberships -
Commit to 6 month membership (# of months is based on # of members. Minimum is 6 month)

If you can't make it to club, orders are to be emailed to me. Club projects will be given to you in kit form.

One month is your hostess month where you get extra free product of your choice based on membership sales.  Collect outside orders or bring friends that day to boost your sales!

Schedule Change

Hi Stampers,

The Open House scheduled ​for this weekend, June 3rd, is cancelled and will be rescheduled. Somehow, I thought I could prep for the open house and prep to go out of town during the same week! What was I thinking?!

I'm excited for you to come create and have fun with the new catalog items, so I'll reschedule. Thanks for understanding. Sorry if I caused any inconvenience to you.

In the meantime, happy stamping!
Gayle
