Later in the day I went to the home of someone I met while checking out the clearance bins at Michael's. She told me that she had Design Studio but didn't know how to use it so I helped three Design Studio "newbies" get started (her sister and a friend were there too). We were quite a sight to see with laptops and Cricuts all lined up - we had to download and update the software on all of the computers and also update the firmware on the machines so that took a while! Then I could explain the basics so they could get going with welding their words. We had a lot of fun and I did a bit of enabling (don't you think everyone "needs" the snowflake cart When It's Cold Outside?). So, in addition to the online classes, I have started making "house calls" for Design Studio help (but only in the local area).
Once I got home again it was late. I started a post about one of the swaps I mailed but then I realized that I needed to review the rest of the comments for the Original Scrapbox EZ View Giveaway. By the time I finished, it was after midnight and the entries were closed. I haven't heard a final tally from Rachelle yet, but I hope we made it to 12,000 visits so the charity will get a Desk too! I drew the winner at about 2 a.m. and I have sent an email. I'll post the name here as soon as I get a response from the winner.
ETA - I have heard back from the winner with all of the information required. Congratulations to Kitty from North Carolina.
There was no time to do a video today - but I have high hopes for tomorrow! In the meanwhile, I left a sneak peek at another project that you will see soon. Now I just have to get some sleep!
