I am blessed!

I feel so fortunate to be able to enjoy my hobby of scrapbooking and meet new friends at the same time. After all that is part of scrapbooking, sharing with others. So last weekend when Dilia asked me to come over and "play" with her I jumped at the chance. I met Dilia when I worked at Michael's, and she has since followed me to Scrap-A-Doodle.She is so eager to learn and was willing to share her beautiful home with me.

I usually hate to get the mail because it is usually bills, Except Christmas time, but yesterday I received this beautiful card in the mail!

I could recognize instantly that she had made her own envelope, it is beautiful, with a scalloped edge and fancy address label. Great job, Dilia, I am so glad you are having fun with your new Cricut!!

I also have a new opportunity to teach a class to "newbies" in a couple of weeks. It's not going to be like my usual classes where I teach a technique, it is more of a lecture. So, I have been working on my notes and trying to remember all of the important details that someone new to scrapbooking needs to know. I am so excited to be getting my name out there more and I am looking forward to more jobs in the future. If only I could bring myself to start on my own wedding scrapbook. What? It's only been 11 years!! One of these days I will just sit down and get it done!!

I hope everyone is well.

P.S. Please keep the family of Zach McBride in your prayers, he was killed in Iraq this week and was raised here in Bend. Although we didn't know him, his family lives in our neighborhood,and we know how the loss affects the family and friends.
