Halloween Workshop - October 1st!

Here is a sample of the projects we will be making at the Halloween workshop on October 1st!  The 3 x 3 cards are the perfect size to slip into your child's lunch for an added treat on October 31st or just to share with any ghoul or goblin!  Then we will be making 20 of these scary sour cream containers filled with treats!


There are a few spots left!  Don't miss out on this spooktackular workshop!  You can email me at timmygal@hotmail.com to register.

Upcoming Events

Hi Everyone!

It's hard to believe that today is September 1st already!  I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and was able to take lots of pictures.  The fall season means that the local Crops will be starting up.  The first one on my calendar is the Renfrew Crop on September 17th.  This crop usually fills up fairly fast, but as of Monday there were still a few spaces available.  If you are interested in attending, let me know and I'll put you in contact with the organizer.  I will not be attending this crop as a vendor but will still be available for orders and hope to have the space to share my Big Shot, dies and punches.

The next big event will be the Croptopia 'Autumn in the Valley' weekend retreat at the Best Western Inn and Conference Centre in Renfrew on Oct 15 - 16th.  This is an amazing 36 hour crop and includes 2 yummy lunches, 2 evening snacks, 6 feet of cropping space, door prizes and a registration goodie bag.  There will also be free make and takes, demonstrations and the use of lots of cropping tools!  It's a great time to relax, meet new friends, spend time with old friends and complete pages without interruptions, chores or work!  You can check out all the details at http://www.croptopia.com/.  This event I will be attending as a vendor and will have a supply of Designer Series Papers, Cardstock and adhesives and other product for sale.  If there is anything you would like to order in time for this event please contact me by September 30th.  I will also be placing an order by September 9th if anyone is in need of anything.

November 19th - Christmas Card Workshop
It's that time of year!  What better way to keep the commercial aspect out of Christmas and still send Season's Greetings to everyone than to make your own Christmas Cards.  On November 19th join us to make 20 beautiful cards and 10 Christmas Tags.  You will make 5 different designed cards, 4 of each.  There will be three different designs for the tags and you can choose which to use to make your 10!  This workshop will run from 1 p.m. to approx. 5 p.m. and light refreshments will be served.  There will also be a door prize.  If you have a friend register with you, you both will be able to make 2 extra cards at no cost!  The cost for this workshop is $35.00 and pre-registration is required by November 1st.  Payment can be made by cash or PayPal (I'll send you a request by email).
