My friend has told me about a new store that has opened up in Temecula. We are thinking of getting a group from church together to take a "field trip" up there for a Girl's Day Out. They have craft stuff of all kinds and it is more unique than Michael's or JoAnn's offer. Gosh, I better start a little savings fund for this trip now.
Last weekend I was invited to a holiday card making workshop by another friend at church. I learned a few new techniques and certainly came up with some new ideas.
Once I finish the Christmas cards, I am going to start making individualized business cards for Patience, my daughter-in-law. She has a most delightful baking business and these cards will be perfect for her. The Paper Source makes great colored cards and I can just emboss the ink with the cutest cake stamps right on the pre-cut business cards. Gosh, I hope the substitute assignment desk does not call me in to work. Right now I work 2 days a month, maybe a 3rd day if someone is out sick. It is soooo sweet!
I am also learning to use Copic markers. I am using a "how to" book to try to learn. I did take a class once, but I need more help that what it offered. I need remediation! Anyway, it is a super fun hobby. The thought that, "Oh, think of how much I can save on all the cards I need to buy," is a joke! I spend 3x as much on the fun stuff to make them! Well, I guess it is a better past time than drinking or gambling! Now if I would only spend this much time on working out!
