A Fun-filled Day for Sure!
(& future classes)

On Saturday, September 24th, I spent the day with eight amazing ladies at the Memory Lane Scrapbooking Store in Missoula, Montana and it was such a fun filled day!  These ladies made the 8 hour round trip drive to Missoula worth every minute and mile!  We laughed, we learned, and then we laughed some more.  I love teaching at Memory Lane Scrapbooking and that day, I taught the ladies how to make the Triangle Tantrum Mini Album.

Although November 5th is the last University of Montana home football game (go Griz!), us die hard scrappers are getting together for another great teaching and learning experience.  On November 5th, I'm teaching the "Checking it Twice" Mini Album.  Although there is a video on my YouTube channel for this project, the version I'm teaching at Memory Lane is slightly different. 

The published pattern for this mini is exclusive to Memory Lane.  To get this pattern you will need to either purchase it from Memory Lane or attend the class on November 5th!  The class is $25 and starts at 10 am.

On January 6th & 7th, I'll be teaching my Three by Three Mini Album.

All supply & equipment lists are available at Memory Lane Scrapbooking.  Their phone number is (406) 523-3957.   Both classes are already half full, so hurry to sign up!  Missoula is a great vacation spot and there is always something to do, so plan on a weekend away (warning, make your motel reservations now because of the Griz game!).

Have a Wonderful Labor Day!

Labor Day is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union.  In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, as originally proposed, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a "working men's holiday" on that date.  The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.   (Source: U.S. Department of Labor.)

To all the hard workers in America - have a wonderful Labor Day!
