Catch Up and New Class!!!

Well, it was an amazing weekend, I have to say.

I hosted my first (of many, I hope!) "SWB" Nights - that's Saturday Women's Business, in case you weren't sure!  Got rid of hubby (he didn't complain, I can assure you!) off to the movies for the night, then brought out the stamps and inks, and papers, and bling...and the coffee & nibblies - and of course dinner!

Totally awesome time - with me finally falling into bed somewhere in the region of dawn!!!  Time flies when you're having fun, and I can only say that "FUN" was an understatement.

So...if you are interested....you had better email me straight away to save your place.  Considering how far out we each stretched, it's really imperative you do book your seat!

NOW - what's on this weekend at the House of Eclectic Creations?   Well, I'm doing a box of cards...okay, it's not really a box, but it's BETTER!!!

First of all, we're going to be making a few really cute little cards!  I've used my favourite Sale-A-Bration set here, with what have to be the best colours to combine

These are just so cute, and so darn easy to make.  I actually did all four of these (including the colouring too!!) in under an hour.  Just think how many you could do 'in advance', and never be caught short again with that "last minute card" for that accidentally overlooked love-one!!



So, after making these cuties, I figured that I really needed something to put them in, so I whipped up a "Card Holder"....better look down!


And here it is....this is what we're going to be making to keep our little cutie cards in!!  What do you think?  Too cute, huh!

This holder can be whipped up in no time, and once you have made one, you'll have a problem stopping yourself from making more!!

So, here I am, with my cutie-cards, and my cutie-card holder....

I know, I know....what does the end product look like?

Ta Da!!!

NOW....you had better be emailing me and booking your seat! 

Class runs 10:00am-2:00pm

Cost:   $20.00 (supplies included)

Bookings are essential, as space is limited!

What on earth are you waiting for???  EMAIL ME!!!

New Classes & Times

As many of you know, I've been teaching classes from my "craft cubby" every second Saturday.  Well, it's time to change things up a bit, and add some excitement to the mix.

So....

I'm adding to my class timetable.  I will still have my classes on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month, but now I'll also be hosting the SWB on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays in the evenings.

What's SWB?  Saturday Women's Business!  From 5pm until....late!  $10 for the evening; BYO supplies (or I will have a few things available to purchase on the night); byo dinner, or chip in and we'll get Pizza or Chinese, or Indian delivered!!

You MUST email me to confirm your place, as seats are already being booked out - this weekend...I have ONE left (and I only announced the idea on Saturday).

So what are you waiting for?  The invitation doesn't get much hotter than this!!!

Saturday Class (27th February)

Oh dear, the weekend just screamed past so quickly, and here it is Monday and I haven't posted the next class information.  SORRY!!!

I am doing a "Garden of Flowers" class.....something a little bit different than a standard card, but so easy to make that you'll have Gardens growing everywhere.

Have a look at the Garden below - it's not mine, but isn't it beautiful!!! 

So, email or phone me, to book your seat....you will have so much fun making a garden, but without getting your hands (too) dirty!!!

February Classes

Hi All

Due to ongoing health issues, this weekend's class will not be going ahead. Both daughter and I have been laid flat with flu, and I have developed tonsilitis. Doesn't bode well for visitors, that's for sure.

Apologies, but there WILL be a class on the last Saturday of the month, and stay tuned for what we are making!

Haitian Disaster Relief

On 12 January, 2010 a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, leaving in its wake devastation so overwhelming that the Haitian people and their leaders can only look for help from the outside to cope.

In the past, when terrorists attacked the Twin Towers, when a tsunami struck Indonesia, when a hurricane destroyed New Orleans, and when wildfires ravaged Australia, Stampin' Up! demonstrators stepped forward and showed their commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.

This time is no different.

From now until 28 February, 2010, you can partner with Stampin' Up! to make a difference in the lives of those who continue to suffer from the effects of this devastating earthquake. Stampin' Up! will set aside $2 from the sale of every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set and donate that money to the American Red Cross' Haiti Relief and Development Fund.

The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need

I too, like many other demonstrators feel strongly about the support we can offer, and as such am donating my demonstrator discount. This will means it will be $7.80 per set that I can contribute! Contact me today, to ensure your order is made, and that support goes where it is truly needed.

Glass Class

Okay,

My next class is NOT what you would call normal by any standard. I wanted to try something different, alternative...'new' for me.

So, I grabbed some frosting paint, ribbon, stamps and contact adhesive (you know, the stuff you cover books with !!), and found a very cute way to create a gift using an old jar or two.

Now, I'm holding the 1st Glass Class on January 30, from 10:00am sharp. The class is $25. This includes the class kit, paint as well!!! To make sure your place is kept, you must email me. (Otherwise I will not be able to supply your paint!!!)

RSVP no later than January 22nd, or you'll miss out on the most fun you've had in a long time!

You'll have enough supplies to paint and decorate two jars (I used old Moccona jars!), as well as make a gorgeous card, and matching cute little tag.

Update

This past weekend was a bit of a wash-out for me. I've been playing with a few ideas, and tried something a little "out of the ordinary".....worse luck the products I used didn't work at all, and it was pretty much the most outstanding failure I have had to date.

Not to worry...I've been put in touch with someone who I am hoping can help me, and point me in the 'right' direction.

I can't say much more about this, because this project is ( I am hoping) going to be a total "WOW", and do not want to give anything away until I have everything done.

Sorry...but no peeking!
