I guess I should start from the beginning. I decided to take some time off in the beginnnig of the year. I was working for Canon and BDs marketing. this brought me to crops all over the state but it was also every weekend. So long stary short that would not work for my family. I than decided to put all that energy into teaching classes. I started booking multiple lots of events so here is my run down.
My teaching events started on Mesa at CKC. I taught classes for Canon Creative Park. I had a whirlwind trip up one day back the next. I met many people and had a great time.
I taught at scrapbook expo in Orlando on may 22-23rd. It was so nice to see all my friends and to meet new ones. Hanging out with The tattered angels crew is also so much fun.We had a blast and the classes were a success. I had the pleasure of hanging out with Kelly Goree we always have a blast together. i love deoming glimmer mist and watching the ladies just get completely amazed by all the possibilities.
I than did make and takes at Stamp Fest demoing for scraporium in Lutx. I also taught 3 classes on my non traveling weeks. I love Denise she is such a sweet person. we had fun at stamp fest I even learnd how to stamp. I was presiing down too hard lol. This was middle of June. i met my scrap idol too Wendy Vechi. I love her work she rocks the grungboard.
Than it was off to Scrapboks N More where I taught 3 workshops on Saturday. I had so much fun Shelly and her crew are the best. the first night Friday we had an amazing dinner and than this incredible cake for Shellys birthday. I was her present to her store she is such a doll. Oh can she decorate she is amazing her house was so incredible. She gave me a choice of sleeping in the house or the RV.I have never slept in an Rv before so that sounded like a fun adventure. Oh my goodness this thing was unbelieveable i felt like royalty as I slept on a bed of feathers. I could seriously have lived in that rv. I took tons of pictures and so did Shelly here are a few pictures from the weekend. the classes featured on the slide show are avaialable for purchase. Email me if you are interested.

So that is the weekend if the 18th so what comes next lets see CHA. i drove in on Wednesday for class. I taught 75 store owners my botanical bella class. I will be teaching this class at stores all over the Us starting next month. I had so much fun for the first time in 3 + years I did not work the floor. I was able to walk the floor. I met Maggie from Cuttlebug challenge blog and she introduced me to the world of Provocraft. I was than one of the lucky ones to get an invitation to come to the gypsy Gala. There I met and talked with Micheal and Kimberly and we hit it off great. so plan on seeing lots of cool projects using the cuttlebug, cricut, gypsy, yudu machine, and the your story. I am headed to Provo tomorrow and I get to spend a few days with the Provo craft crew. I am using the Your story in my classes for Canon at the Digital Scrapbook Experience this weekend. I had honor and priviledge of staying with Elena the Scrapbook fairy queen of Scrapbook Royalty. We had so much fun as roomates she is such a sweet and giving soul. I just love her to pieces. So now its Thursday I have to leave the show and rush to make my flight.
I am off to CKC valley forge July 29-august 1st where I will be teaching 4 classes for Canon. I am so glad I had a straight flight. I taught 2 classes on friday and 2 on sautrday. after my classes on Saturday I left for Inspired Treasures where I taught my clock class. I had a blast with Shelly and than met Renee back at the event where she was vendering. I did a small impromptu class to get her kit sprayed with all the glimmer mist. i hope to be going back to the store for an encoreweekend before the end of year.
Ahh it feels good to be home but now it is time to create create create new classes must go out for a few upcoming events. I guess I should say kit as my next event is in Dallas this weekend.
On a plane I go again this time destination Scrapbook Barn in Dallas Texas August 7th-9th. I had a blast teaching classes. I taught 4 classes my summer days class, tattered traveler, family treausres, and the fun fabric covered index card holder. I had my video camera at this store.
