Where have I been? Computer crash....

Terribly sorry to all of you out there that like to pop in and check out my blog. My computer took a dive...a big one! We couldn't get it past the start up page, the screen went completely blank. I finally had to do a system recovery and in doing so, lost ALL of my pictures that were saved to the hardrive. Luckily, a lot of those photos were also saved in numerous online photo galleries, facebook and this here blog.
 Now that that rant is over, once again I do apologize for being absent and in that time....something amazingly awesome happened! I got my own car {which in itself is pretty cool}, but I went job hunting as well. I took a sampling of my work into Michaels and just wanted to see if I could get a job on the retail floor. I love Michaels...it's like a home away from home for me. The manager asked if I wanted to instruct scrapbook classes. I said that would be awesome. So I applied for that position and now ladies, I am currently a certified SDU scrapbook instructor here at the Michaels in my town. I teach the basics in scrapbooking in a four week course. The curriculum covers everything from photo storage to using color to journaling and penmanship and embellishing. So much fun stuff and it's great for beginners and for advanced scrappers! My classes will start in August and I am offering three different time slots and days. Wednesdays from 3:30-5:30. Fridays from 6:30-8:30 and Saturdays 12:30-2:30. So classes will start August 4th, August 6th and August 7th. If you live in my area, go to the Michaels on Sisk Rd. and get yourself registered. It's very inexpensive too!! I hope to see you there. I am sooo excited to teach this class...so tell all of your friends and come on by!
