But before I do...

One more to go

but will leave that until tomorrow, a little teaser....

Book of Me - Rusty Pickle

As promised here is the picture for the Book of Me class!

Sorry re the quality, I am as you have probably have guessed a nightmare when dealing with most things but computers being my least favourite thing in the world, so all things technical get the better of me!

Rusty Pickle

The above kits can be purchased but I need to know before Wednesday midday if anyone wants one as Lance leaves on Wednesday for the UK, email me if you are interested!

Class 4 - 7 pm Class - Book of Me...or then again it could turn out to be a book of something totally different, if any of you are like me and tend to hide behind the camera!

Class 7 - 9 pm - Pop up Pocket book!

Photos to be revealed tomorrow as I can't access these from home as Windows 7 doesn't like the file - blah!

Update on Lance

Okay I have spoken to Lance and the idea is small and initimate classes to be held in the shop, two classes 4 - 7 pm and 7 - 10 pm, approximately, so lots of individual attention and anyone who has been lucky to experience a class by Lance will know that you laugh from start to finish. I have the photos of the classes he is proposing to teach and out of the four classes I'd do them all, as they're all really lovely but I will try and choose wisely for everyone. All of the classes are mini books.
So hopefully this makes things clearer and let me know as soon as if you want to attend.

STOP PRESS STOP PRESS

So I have a little email form celebrity scrapbooker Lance Anderson of Rusty Pickle fame, and he is wondering if any of you would be interested in doing a class with him on Tuesday 2nd March (time to be confirmed but trying for an evening)class details to follow but needless to say all of his classes that I've been lucky enough to attend have been fantastic.

Just putting my feelers out to see who would be interested in attending as he's coming a long way and would need good numbers to commit, but we could be one of his last classes if he decides not to continue teaching after the very sad close of Rusty Pickle goes through and us Aberdeenshire girls could put him through his paces and leave him with ever lasting memories of fabulousness!

So email me on simply-create@btconnect.com if you are interested....
