I'M BACK

Hello crafting friends, it has been quite some time since my last post. A lot has transpired during this period. Unfortunately, Covid-19 resulted in the cancellation of many of my card classes. On top of that, we encountered some additional challenges. Our home was severely affected by a terrible weather event, causing leakage in the roof and resulting in the growth of black mold. Consequently, our insurance company relocated us to a hotel room. Regrettably, many others found themselves in similar situations, so what was initially supposed to be a few weeks turned into a grueling six-month stay in the hotel. 

Despite the numerous hardships we faced during these six months, I firmly believe that there is always a silver lining if we search for it. For me, the positive aspect of this ordeal came in the form of friends and creativity. A dear friend whom I met through my involvement with Stampin' Up! many years ago provided unwavering support and encouragement. Whenever I felt down, she knew exactly what to say to lift my spirits and keep my creative juices flowing. I found solace in crafting at a nearby coffee shop, where I was joined by my wonderful group of ladies. Eventually, when our home was restored to its previous state, we made the decision to downsize from our spacious and beautiful four-bedroom house, complete with my beloved craft studio, to a smaller residence.

We have recently settled into a new residence, finished unpacking, and I have set up my craft room. Due to limited space in my studio, my classes are now smaller in size. However, we have already completed some remarkable projects and shared many enjoyable moments. I am feeling optimistic and excited about providing more frequent updates. I am excited to participate in the yearly Quota Craft and Gift Fair, scheduled to be held at the Sleeman Centre Chandler on Saturday, October 7th and Sunday, October 8th. At our booth, we will offer discounted prices on retired Stampin' Up! products. If you are a Stampin' Up! enthusiast seeking a fantastic bargain, make sure to visit us. Apart from the sales table, we will also conduct workshops on both days.
