my favorite part of teaching is seeing what it inspires people to do. the hours of thinking and planning and WORKING and worrrying and all of the not sleeping to get it wrapped up in time are totally worth it. i admit that i was a little anxious when my divide and conquer workshop went live at two peas. there is a LOT of theory in the class. a lot of teaching people to look at minis in an entirely different way. so seeing people take those concepts and run with them? it kind of rocks.
when i came across nicole reaves' finished album, i was blown away. nicole got married in hawaii 8 years ago - before she was a scrapbooker. she had photos, memorabilia, and some notes - and hadn't done anything with them. and now they are showcased in an amazing album. here are a few of her pages - you can see the rest on her blog! thanks, nicole, for letting me share this here!
my divide and conquer workshop is still available at 2peas... and i am currently working on a second workshop to expand the concepts and bring you even more inspiration. i'll have more details on that late next month. ;)
i made two trips to junkstock this weekend - one alone, and one with matthew and the boys. it was a good venue to intoduce the boys to the joys of junk. =) there were a mix of booths in a farm on the edge of town, and it was spread out enough that we didn't have to worry about sam knocking things over. ;) i went hoping to find a coffee table and a piece for a corner in our bathroom, but left with mostly letters. i reeeeeeeeeeeeeally wanted the piece above for a coffee table, but let's be honest - it + three boys would = DISASTER.
happy thursday! lots happening around here today.. sam's preschool is hosting a spaghetti dinner for the kids + dads/special guests, and me and alex and ben have some minecraft costumes to try and put together before a halloween fun night at ben's school tomorrow night. wish us luck!
