FEBRUARY 2017 CTMH Workshops & Specials

Hello Friends~

Happy FEBRUARY!!!  Can't believe we are already a full week into February.  Unfortunately, I've been under the weather as we begin the new month.  Our bodies have a way of making us slow down and get the rest we need whether we want to or not.  I've been around so many people, co-workers, and patients who have one bug or another, and it eventually caught up to me.  It completely zapped my energy, not to mention any creativity I had in me...I would have loved to have 4 solid days creating artwork!  I'm on the mend now, energy is back, and I'm getting back in the groove of things.

I closed out January with a full house All Day Crop, thanks to everyone who participated and joined the fun!  I wish 12 hours of creative time didn't go by so fast!  We officially broke in the new bar area with lunch, dinner and of course happy hour! Hoping to have many more of these events in 2017.
 



Interested in knowing when your favorite papers from SE1 will be coming in the months ahead?  February is Sugar Rush, March will be Dreamin' Big, April will be Hello Lovely, and May will be Some Kinda Wonderful.  A few other events, such as Card Buffets are in the works too!

Feel free to share this blog post with your friends who LOVE to stamp, scrapbook and paper-craft.  I always appreciate your referrals...and I'm happy to reward YOU too!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued friendship and support...I do appreciate YOU!
