Creative Escape Day 1

Well girls, it's time for my report from Day 1. We left Reno EARLY this morning and arrived safely in Arizona where it was---are you ready for this?----112 degrees! It's a good thing that this event is held indoors or I'd be in serious trouble. We are staying at the Sheraton Wild Horse Resort. It is very nice and VERY big. Between finding our room, the gift shop, a restaurant to eat lunch and the location where the event will be held, we got quite a hike. Home Depot is having an event here as well and they were being served lunch when Janice and I walked by. They had a table full of treats and desserts for the Home Depot folk. No one was peeking so Janice veered over there where we crammed all of these granola bars into my purse. That's us---the Granola Thieves! Janice assures me that once the event gets going, we are going to need plenty of sustenance that we can get to quickly and easily. After eating we retired to our room to relax and prepare for a big day tomorrow. We just finished watching the movie "The Back-Up Plan" and it was really cute. We got some good giggles and I recommend it. Tomorrow will begin early for us. We have to board the Bazzill Bus for our bus tour at 8am. I don't know what Janice was thinking when she signed up for that time. She says that she doesn't know either since since she also doesn't like to get started that early. Believe me though, we WILL be up and ready to go in our best walking shoes. We will be touring the Bazzill factory and visiting their 10,000 square foot flagship store. I can't wait! I promise to take lots of pictures and get lots of ideas to share with all of you. I can see already that it is going to take more than one post each day to do it. The blog will only let me add five pictures at a time and I'm going to need to share more than that with you.

Until tomorrow----

Tahoe Paper Bag Album Class

At last I'm getting back to you all with info on the Tahoe Paper Bag Album Class. I'm also posting the pictures of a few of the inside pages. The paper bag book has 8 pages resulting in 7 different 6X6 double page layouts as well as the front cover. As I mentioned before, the title for the front of your book will be cut for you in class and it can be anything you like. I have the supplies for only three people to do this class, and two people have already signed up from my previous post, so unfortunately I have room for only one more of you to join us. The price for the class is $27 and it will be held at my home in Reno on September 11th at 2pm. I am not putting and end time to this class. Since it is being held in my home, I can work with you until your album is done to your satisfaction. My estimate is that it will take from 2 to 3 hours. The final sign up will be taken on a first come, first served basis, so if you're interested get back to me as soon as possible.

Tahoe Paper Bag Book

Here's a little sneak peak. My daughter Megan and her husband recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary with a weekend in Tahoe where they got married. As you know this is traditionally paper, so I made them a paper bag album as a gift. I have enough supplies left to make three more so I am going to offer the album as a class in my home for three people. I will be cutting out the title of your choice for the front of the album. Soon I will be posting some more pictures of the album along with some info about it, but if you are interested in the class drop me a line letting me know what days and times are best for you.

Occasionally, in addition to kits, I will be offering finished projects. I just finished these cute school layouts this evening and am offering them for sale. These are completed layouts.
