Greetings! I hope all of you had a special and blessed holiday season! I can’t really say I was at all sorry to see 2023 pass into history, as it was a pretty rough year for us. But blessings still abound and we are filled with gratitude for those.
I’m starting this crafting year in February, with another of my annual new years workshops I call “Stock Your Stash”. Many of us are getting low on our supply of cards, after the year ends, and I love having some new cards in my “stash” so I don’t have to worry about birthdays I forgot until the actual day, or an unexpected life event that needs to be eased with a handmade card! This year my workshop features 7 cards, for which I all used a birthday greeting. I will also be supplying class attendees with blank greeting pieces so they can use some of their cards for events other than birthdays, if they wish. I went for different styles, with some working as more masculine cards, and a variety of color themes. These are all fairly quick and easy cards – still beautiful – but designed to fit 7 cards into our workshop timeframe easily.
Those of you who are local, this workshop will be held Saturday, February 17, at Ben Franklin Crafts in Grass Valley, from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm. I have a display up in the store with all of the cards on it. You MUST pre-register at Ben’s, and you can do that by going in, in person, or calling at (530) 273-1348. Class fee for the 7 cards is $35.00. Here’s what we’ll be creating!
Hope you enjoyed my entree into 2024 and I’ve inspired you to dig out the craft room, put the holidays away, and dive into this new year! And, if you’re local – I’d love to have you join us for the workshop! Seating is limited, so reserve your spot SOON!! Big hugs! Janice
