That is if I don't count the instruction sheets and photos. I am running low on printer paper so I have to go back to Costco and get some. Darn I wish I had remembered that I was running low on paper when I went there on Monday. I had a make up class last night that was cancelled due to snow last month. The kits weren't complete as the vendor didn't ship some of the product. That is so frustrating for the instructor let alone the students because you plan to finish the project in class because I know if I don't, it gets put aside and then I forget what I was doing or what tips the instructor gave as part of the class to make things easier when putting the projects together. Fortunately for me it looks like all my product for my kits are here. I did have to make a substitution on the flowers for my chipboard book but that happens when you work out of your own personal stuff. It might be dated or the manufacturer has removed that item from their availability list.
ETA: Here are a couple of pictures of the cards I will be doing later this month.
Though I did take a few hours off to have dinner with my scrapping friends I managed to get my class instructions done on my book. I stopped by the store to pick up my class sample on the way to dinner because I couldn't write the instructions by looking at the photos. I stayed up late last night to get through some of it but mostly because I hadn't heard from Steve and he wasn't home when I got here. No note, and no idea where he was. Two hours after I got home I sent him a text and still no response. So I called him and he said he was on his way home. Of course by this time I was a little miffed but very glad to see him when he walked through the door. Yes, it is a guy thing to lose track of time when working on stuff (plane) but it is still irritating to us women who need to know our loved ones are safe at all times...
Yesterday I was handed the card sample kit for the Basic Grey line "Bittersweet" and oh my goodness these cards are so cute! I finished them a couple of hours ago and I am going to drop them off at the store here in a bit. I also started assembling my kits for my classes, so I have stuff everywhere and I need to put my Christmas stuff away too. Gee... Here is a picture of the first class I will be teaching...
I am scheduled to teach three classes possibly four and I am taking two. I have to get with it as my first class will be in twelve days and I haven't put my class kits together let alone written up the instructions. The kit part is easy it is getting the instructions done that is going to be tricky since my class sample is already at the store. I normally write them as I make the sample but this was not meant to be a class to begin with and after the girls saw it in the store they said "It needs to be a class" so now it is. Gee, I am such a sucker for "please"....
My nephew Jesse turned 21 on Tuesday and the family got together at Boon's Treasury for dinner, drinks and merriment. He was a real good sport about all the teasing and drank all the best wishes (alcohol form) that were given to him. Sarah said later she received some "drunk texting" from her cousin. :)
This is has become the chant of many people this past year. As a good many people are now in search of a job because of the economy. Many companies are downsizing, using smarter business practices and realize they can't afford to pay their employees so now their employees are looking for work. That unfortunately includes my Sarah who was set to return from maternity leave part time this next week. She stopped in to say hi at the office and to get some stuff to work on for next week when she was told she was laid off. Stunned and upset she called me. I went over to her place to console and give help in anyway I could. When I got there she was still visibly upset but seemed to have resolved somethings already and by the evening she already had some leads on new jobs. It also looks like Nate and her have figured out a way for her to work part time so she doesn't have to pay a babysitter. She is such a talented and smart young woman I think she will be just fine.
We just got home from spending the evening at Lisa and Bucks. Sarah, Nate and Cash were already there when we arrived. Lots of laughs watching the top 100 All Time Rock songs on VH-1. Then we played Scene It, the Friends version, which Nate and Sarah won. We did have a bit to drink but the designated driver, me, stopped early in the evening. This time it wasn't me they made fun of it was Bucks turn. :)
