Doing a little creating...

I know.. I know! shocking huh? LOL.. okay.. well not technically today.. (I have been sick with the flu since last Saturday and feel like it's turning into strep.. YUCK!) .. but i did earlier last week.. because this month for Scarlet Lime.. We had one of our Guest Artist Gals not be able to do it,        

so I decided to create a few layouts with the kits to add to the Artist Gallery. It's been months since I scrapbooked.. so it felt really good to get creative and have fun.

I also created my class this past month for the event I am teaching at in May,Donna Downey's Inspired Workshop. The event is May 7th-9th and besides the actual event, they are also offering mini- workshops the day before the event and each evening of the event as well.. and I am teaching one of the mini workshop classes.  The event is really centered around creative art.. not so much scrapbooking, in fact I am attending the event as a STUDENT.. which is the first time I have ever attended an event like this as a student! I have taught at MANY Of them.. but never just been able to relax and enjoy the classes being offered. We get to learn SO many things like painting on canvas, doing our very own Portrait of ourselves (scary! LOL)..creating a book out of fabric, making clay jewelry, and more! I seriously can't wait. I even splurged a little bit and am taking some of the other mini workshops offered.. (during the times I am not teaching)..and in those I am making a quilt piece, a purse made out of a book,  art rings, a necklace, and a couple of fun art books.. SO fun.. seriously I think I will have to go to this every year.. it's SO much more about just being creative and using creative art to express yourself.. and just have fun. So anyhow, when I was creating my class, I wanted to do more of a project type class.. something that involves more than just scrapbooking, so I created this hanging album, that involves fabric, corrugated boxes (the we tear up and paint), crepe paper, beads, glitter.. lots of fun stuff...SO Excited about this class. And I found this cute little vintage looking stand to hang it from too. So fun! I am excited to teach it, but also excited for the students because the class itself only costs $25.00 but they will get over $60.00 in product jammed packed in this class because of the AWESOME sponsors of my class!  (Chatterbox, GCD Studios, Making Memories, Jenni Bowlin, Scenic Route, American Crafts and more!)..cool stuff too and of course we will have lots of little goodies from Scarlet Lime in there as well.. so it will be a fun class. Can't wait to go really.. also because i am excited to learn about new mediums so I can come home and teach my kids.. they LOVE to do art, scrapbooking, painting.. etc.. and I think i can use some of what I learn to give them more ways to create as well.. should be fun. Here is the class I am teaching.  

Well I better get back to bed.. I feel like I have spent the last 4 days on the couch or in bed.. but I just can't seem to feel better..I started taking some meds today and hoping I feel better by tomorrow sometime.. good enough to get some work done anyhow.. hate being sick.. tired of being sick! LOL :).. have a good night!

Oh I'm so jealous! I'm teaching at Inspired too - right after you so I'm looking forward to meeting you, however I'm "working" for the whole event so I don't get to "play" like you do! You are going to have so much fun! See you in NC!
