Get Ready For Some Workshops!

Workshops are BACK!!!!


But why did they go away? 

 Long story short... the college expenses for Kaela have been higher than we as a family expected so I took a part time job.  If you have been with me since my hospital days then you know that I take both my "day job" and CTMH seriously and hate to schedule then have to cancel due to work obligations.

I asked Kaela's' previous employers if they needed a daytime hostess with no experience and they said yes!  So you are now looking at the newest hostess at La Finca - Allen location.   They are open on Saturdays and since I was not sure when I would be working I did not want you to buy the supplies for the workshops then have me have to cancel a week before to work.  That is not fair to you.  

I finally worked up the courage to  explain to the owners about CTMH and my workshops and crops then asked if it would be possible to NOT work one Saturday a month so that I could have time for both a workshop and a crop once  a month.  Oscar not only understood but is on board!  

So Workshops will now be on the same Saturday as Crop nights.

Create Kindness Kit = Fun

My Create Kindness kit arrived today after taking a tour with the USPS truck.  I placed my order on September 1st and it took 12 days to get to me - long story but I have my kit finally so I will be happy.  


I am having a blast with this kit and I plan on using it to slip love notes into Mikes lunch or a happy note for Kaela to find in her car or backpack.  The original kit comes with everything you need but adhesive to complete in one sitting or a crop but I am making a few changes to make them more my style.

Original Kit:

Featured Product(s): 
Create Kindness card kit, which includes:

 (1) My Acrylix® mini stamp organizer, 
(8) exclusive M-size stamp sets,
 (24) 3" × 3" pre-printed card bases with envelopes,
 (24) pre-cut 1 ¾" white circles, 
(1) 2" × 2" My Acrylix® block, 
(1) mini Archival Black Exclusive Inks™ stamp pad.

Changes I am making:


*Slate Ink
*Lemon, Willow, Emerald, and Raspberry mats for the sentiment circles. 

I was thinking of matting all of the cards with Slate cardstock but I like the pops of color better.  Another change you can make is to use colored pencils or markers to fill in the sentiment stamp images.  The kit comes with a mini Archival Ink pad so if you choose to use markers the alcohol markers will not cause your lines to bleed.  I do not plan on "coloring" the sentiment images so I am fine using my slate ink pad. 


There is still time to order your very own kit - 
I know you will love it as much as I do. 

Speaking of Crop... I hope to see you this Saturday!!!
