Peanut, (one of my weeny dogs) always feels a need to get into the action!
Anyway, my friend's fiance is selling his house and this will not fit in my friend's house, soooooooo since I fell in love with this beauty at first sight, he agreed to sell it to me! How cool is that??? Reminds me of something I'd find in a French farmhouse.
I've been putting dishes and glasses in it a little at a time, it holds a TON of stuff!!!!

Monday Oct. 18 card class
When I teach a class, I come up with three designs using stamps and supplies we have in the store so that the cards can be re-created easily with supplies that can be purchased that day.
After teaching between 8 to 20 women how to construct the cards I design for class, I find that the next day I can come up with some things I can improve on, or at least do a little bit differently. At home, relaxed and free to use whatever I want, I can come up with revised cards using personal stash that we perhaps no longer carry in the store but that I would still like to use!
These are the class cards;
The third card is pretty much the same and I liked it as is, but I colored some of the apples different colors.
The class "notes and leaves" card was really different because I did not have enough leaf stickers for both classes, so I just used it as a sample card and I really like how it turned out! Same thing with the squirrel. I had plenty of the May Arts ribbon for the class card, but not enough Paper Co. ribbon that I used for the sample. If I did these over, they would be really different again, since I can't seem to make the same card twice! That's what I love about my hobby, there are never ending choices so it's pretty hard to get bored!

Creative "Bug"
Oh how I love when that happens!!!
Miles invited Syl and I to another fabulous flower arranging class at his shop, Fiori Floral's, new location.
We made a gorgeous fall arrangement with hydrangeas, roses, spider mums, berries, scented geranium leaves, orchids, apples, oak leaves...oh my! Unbelievably gorgeous! My pictures will not do it justice.
I forgot to bring my camera so I didn't get any shots of the new shop, but it is REALLY nice!
Anyway, this class spurred a bout of creativity in me today to where I spent the day changing furniture around to make room for a new addition!!!!! Can't wait!!!!!! I'll post when the big day arrives, and no, I'm not having a baby! ;)
