Today I thought I would post one of the sets of cards I'm working on for a birthday gift, well actually completed, but finally took a picture to post.  Let me know what you think!

I'm stamping a variety of labels so they can attached depending on the intention of the card.

Monrovia Classes -

Spring classes at my local community center will be starting soon.  Hooray!!  April 4th is the first class, Beginner Jewelry, which will run for 4 weeks followed by 4 weeks of Intermediate Jewelry classes for those who would like to continue once they have the basics.  You don't have to worry about having your supplies for the first class because we'll go over the tools, materials, and some suggested projects.

Due to many requests I will be teaching a one-day Mixed Media class on Saturday, April 20th.  It will run from 10am - 3pm, with an hour lunch break.  I hope to have some samples on my blog shortly, but if you're interested, here is the link to the brochure with all the information.  City of Monrovia Spring Brochure link

I have really enjoyed meeting and teaching so many nice members of my community.  I hope you'll sign up, it's a nice way to learn something new and make new friendships.

Getting into Christmas - just kidding.


I'm getting ready for the annual boutique at the Shakespeare Club in Pasadena.  My goal this year is to complete either projects started or bring to fruition ideas that have been percolating in my head.  Since I already had the spa fizz balls purchased as well as tea lights and matchboxes, I was determined to get unstuck as to how to bring together the idea.  My biggest dilemma  was how to keep the chocolate separate from the perfumey parts.  Done, done and done!!! 


Spa Bag w/o topper greeting.  Rose scented.
This first picture is after everything has been packaged before I got the greetings on them.  I only used one SU! DSP because my goal was to only use what I had available and not order anything more until my stash was depleted. 

Next hurdle was trying to figure out something cute with an explanation.  I was able to think of something basic but still wanted something fun and with a little rhyme. My friend MaryBeth always creates clues with rhymes for her Easter so I asked her if she could think of anything.  She did!! She's the best.  I'm sure I don't have to tell you which topper is hers.


Spa Bags finished.
