The Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie where the workshop was held is unbelievable. You just cannot imagine the line of products that Carolyn stocks. I took my friend Susan with me and after one quick stroll through she said, "I think I'm in heaven"......and mumbled something about glad she had her credit card.
Carolyn schedules various fun classes on Saturdays and you can look at the "event" page at her web site to check that out. One event coming up in a couple of weeks that Susan and I hope to go back for is the Canvas and Metal Art class given by Cheryl Darrow of TENseconds studio. What a fun person Cheryl is.
Thank you Carolyn and Sherri for having me on your event schedule. I hope I get to come back soon......maybe with a face painting class.

oh my!!! I want to make one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My heart is pounding!
ReplyDeletehi sharon,
ReplyDeletei can see and hear how much fun was had making the junk paper journals - they are my favorite kind of bookmaking pages too, isn't life sweet?!!
Oh how funny. I just finished making something like this yesterday! I didn't bind it yet,as I'm going to use a Bind-it-all the kids gave me for Christmas and I don't have the right size rings. I thought it would be small, but I kept adding pages! I'll post pics when I bind it.
ReplyDeleteI am smiling this morning as I think about the junk paper journalks. I see that lately I am looking and looking at paper, a whole new way to look and see things of possibilities. I have saved papers for ages, before I even starting collage in a serious manner. So much like my mother who lived in the depression era and saved things like that, of course for different reasons. Things looked special tho tied up in brown paper or used paper with strings that had been saved. These things has intrigue also.
ReplyDeleteI did drop by to say how much the word EXPECT has impacted my thoughts during the day, it is therpy and I think as we encounter our problems and successes we need to use EXPECT. It gives me much
motivation. I have always had those feelings, just never put that great word into the thought process. Emelie
Oh MAN! This looks like it would have been SO much to attend - wish I could have been there. Thank you for sharing the experience through the lens!!

ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU, too, for looking at my blog and taking the time to leave a message for me! I'm still so new at this that I just now found it :) and you can't know how much that meant to me!
