April 2022 Happenings

Hello Crafters!

I have no idea where the month of March went. I had so much going on it literally flew by. With the new Annual Catalog coming in May, April is a transition month. I’ll be taking advantage of the Demonstrator perk to pre-order items from the new catalog this month. Watch for creations made with some of the new products!

The All Together and Waves of The Ocean Collection of products remain available to order  while supplies last through 5/2/2022. After this date only the Stampin’ Blends from All Together and the Waves of the Ocean bundle will remain available to purchase in the new catalog. Click on the above links for details on these collections.

Here are the April Happenings:

Looking Ahead:

I'm ordering the new Annual catalogs to hand out mid to late April. A few of you will be getting a copy directly in the mail. I know several of you want a catalog, but if you don't hear from me and want to receive a copy, let me know.

National Scrapbook day is Saturday May 7, 2022- Last year I did a video. This year I thought I’d have a low key in person event. If 3-5 people are interested, I’d be happy to open my home up to a day of scrapbooking (10am – 7pm?). For a small fee (to be determined) I’ll share (2) 12x12 layouts: 1) using 6 x 6 paper, 2) making a pinwheel design. Everyone will receive supplies to make their own. Attendees will decide how we want to handle lunch closer to the date. I’m thinking Subway from Door dash (separate fee) RSVP on or before April 29 so I can know if I have enough interest and order supplies if need. 

May Quarterly Card Class - Saturday 5/21/22. 10am – 12pm

•  Payment is $24*, payable when you RSVP on or before 5/14/2022
• · We will make 8 cards, 2 ea. of 4 designs, all supplies provided & precut.

* Due to product price and shipping increases, I am increasing my card class price to $24 effective this May, 2022 class. I carry cash change and also accept PayPal/Venmo payments. 

Have a fabulous April. Hope you are planning to create and send out Easter cards to family and Friends. I have Easter cards available to purchase if you need any. There's also May Day on May 1st. Consider sending out floral cards (Instead of May Baskets) to celebrate the anticipation of summer!
