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!

Feedburner Issue

To all my subscribers, I apologize if you are not receiving an email of my posts!  I am not receiving emails when I post, so I'm not really sure if any of my subscribers are receiving emails!  I have been trying to resolve this issue for about 8 hours with no help from Feedburner at all.  I tried subscribing with a different email address and although Feedburner states they've sent a confirmation email, I didn't receive it!

Feedburner is telling us that they've changed some type of format and many feeds are ending up in junk/spam folders (but not in mine!).

Hopefully, they will correct this issue someday.....we are not alone, this is an issue with many bloggers.  (Maybe the only way you will see this post is if you happen to be cruising through blogs in your spare time!)

Again, my apology...I wish I had a way to correct this problem.

Thanksgiving - Warm Wishes

Very early for Thanksgiving, I know!  I've been in the mood to stamp the last few days, and this is a card for Thanksgiving.  The stamp set is a very old one from SU called "Window on the World" that I have probably only used twice before!

Halloween Cards - 3" x 3"

I know, I know, it's early for Halloween, but we have 13 grandkids, plus a few other kids who get Halloween cards, so I start early!  Below are twelve of the 3" x 3" cards I made, all slightly different!

Halloween Card #13

The first twelve cards were 3"x3", but this one is A2 size. 

Halloween Card #14

Another A2-sized card.

Halloween Card #15

The last Halloween card!  This is also A2-sized.
