FOR KEEPS SAKE WORKSHOPS IN ST. LOUIS

Hi everyone!  I had the distinct pleasure of being invited to be a guest teacher at FOR KEEPS SAKE in St. Louis, Missouri this past weekend!
This is on the wall of their classroom area...very fitting!

When you walk into the store, you totally understand how their "motto" is so appropriate!  They have a little bit of everything!  The girls of For Keeps Sake are a warm, wonderful bunch of talented ladies.  A huge shout out and THANK YOU to staff and owners: Missy, Sue, Amy, Nancy, Nancy and Timi!!!  Thank you for making my first teaching experience at For Keeps Sake so FANTASTIC and memorable for me! 

The Saturday group did the Configuration of Your Imagination Vintage Bird Box.
 
Most of the ladies who enrolled for class said that they had never done anything like this before.  We jumped right in and we played...and we played...
And before you knew it ....
the ladies had created beautiful Vintage Bird Boxes that they were so proud of.  A few of the ladies taking the class were "speedsters" and finished ahead of the pack.  They missed out on the class photo!

On Sunday, we created The Vintage Bunny Box.  I commented after we got started that some of the ladies in this class work like I often find myself doing....standing up!
Everyone was really concentrating on sculpting their little bunny faces!
 As Elmer Fudd would say, "It got "vewwy   vewwy  quiet!"
Once the faces were made, we moved on to the hats and ears.
In about three and a half hours' time ... Whalaa!!!
We've got BUNNIES!!!
Not all of the bunnies made the "lineup" because their "mommies" were shopping, but we lined up the bunnies that were left.  Are they not just adorable?!

I want to say a HUGE "thank you!" to all the ladies who took my classes!  They totally rocked the projects and I could not believe how quickly the time FLEW by!
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

BUNNIES BUNNIES EVERYWHERE!!!!

I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon than to hang out with a group of talented ladies who want to CREATE!!!  That's what I had the privilege of doing today!  I taught the Vintage Bunny Box class at SCRAPBOOK GENERATION in Springfield, Missouri!  They have an awesome classroom area and we took full advantage of that today!
Some of the ladies skipped out before I could get a class picture.  But, here are some of the ladies and their finished bunny boxes!!  From start to finish...only THREE HOURS!  These girls had it goin' on!!  Everyone said that they had a great time playing, visiting and learning new techniques that they can apply to lots of their other crafting projects!  So, THANK YOU LADIES for letting me teach you and totally enjoying my time with you!!!

And...I get to teach TWO classes this weekend at FOR KEEPS SAKE in St. Louis, Missouri!  I am sooo excited to go there and teach the Configuration of your Imagination Vintage Bird Box and this Vintage Bunny Box.

I just completed my class project for May at Scrapbook Generation.  I gave the ladies in class a "Sneak Peek" today and they loved it.  It's the Vintage Butterfly Garden Book made from Pink Paislee's beautiful new Butterfly Garden papers, embellishments and other vintage images that I added.  I will be showing some sneak peeks as soon as I get some pictures taken!  Be looking for that class on May 23rd from 12 to4 or 5-ish!!! There are already several spots taken for this class.  Call Scrapbook Generation to sign up at 417 886-0440.

Take time out for yourself to PLAY!!!  It's SOUL FOOD!!!
