Some of you know that I had intended to present a series of "Santa's Summertime Workshop" classes late in July and then again this week, too.  And I had even marked days on my calendar to hold those classes.  Unfortunately I have to confess those intended classes have fallen victim to my sometimes overly zealous habit of over-extending myself. Given how hectic my August was already shaping up to be (Stampin' Up!® Convention, immediately followed by the Island County Fair, which then became even more intense than ever before, and then houseguests I hadn't factored in, who would arrive before I was even finished with the Fair)….. well, I totally underestimated the time (and energy) it would take to get those classes prepped and ready to present.  Looking back, I should never have tried to squeeze in something that required so many hours of prep work in the weeks immediately prior to and after these big back-to-back activities already looming on my August plate.  But since I did, if you have been looking forward to those "classes-that-haven't-happened-yet", I offer my apologies for disappointing you.  I am disappointed, as well.

But the GOOD news is that I have been working like a mad-woman this week to prep those classes for the UPCOMING months!  And I'm making good progress, so please stay tuned for details.  In the meantime, I thought I'd post a few shots of some of the ideas I'll be presenting so you can think about which you might like to make.  (These are just *some* of what I've got lined up; there'll be more to follow soon.) 

And remember that if you have a full Great Rewards card (and lots of you DO!), you may choose to redeem it on one of these classes; it has a $30 value when redeemed on a class!
