| Greetings!
She's back!! And boy was she missed - my girlies have invited themselves over for tea and lunch and the rest of us have been over for dinner twice ... and they only arrived home on Thursday night!
We are well prepared for our Mega Crop weekend but that doesn't mean that Lilian's first week back will be restful. Besides the few last minutes tasks we are already planning for our next card classes and crop nights ... are you registered? |

Spring Mega Crop Weekend
THIS WEEKEND!
Friday to Sunday
April 15th to 17th
Location: The Turner Center
Are you ready? Are you excited? Are you registered??? We are still able to squeeze in a couple more scrappers if you've not yet committed to giving yourself a weekend full of scrapbooking. If you decide you'd like to join us then please get in touch as soon as possible! Those who have been to our weekend before will be familiar with the layout challenges we that we offer. You have probably also noticed that we haven't provided measurements for our Sketch Challenge - don't panic because we've geared this challenge so that virtually any size photos will work including 4"x6". For those who prefer to have exact measurements they are as follows: 3 - 4" x 3.5" (horizontal), 3 - 4" x 3" (horizontal). Again, please keep in mind that the sketch we have put together will work with any combination of photo sizes both horizontal and vertical - there's lots of room for interpretation! Our prep is pretty much complete so all we have left is shopping and set up ... how about you? See you on Friday night! |

Those Pesky Knots!
Knots in your thread are not always a problem - sometimes you want to make them! Such is the case with French knots which are often the perfect, subtle embellishment for needlework and paper crafting. But someetimes it takes a bit to perfect your technique so here's a little help.
Click HERE to link to the perfect tutorial - available in written/photo image form and also as a video tutorial.
If you're still having difficulty drop into the store
and we'll give you a demo!
