A Quick Teaching Update

Just a quick post to tell you that my first (in-person) teaching gig at Handmade U last weekend went quite well!

Here are a couple photos to hold you over until I get a chance to recap it all for you next week...

Journaling Tips & Tricks - Getting Started Class

You may have noticed on my sidebar I have added a "Teaching at" section. I have 2 upcoming classes I am teaching - yikes! My first ever.

I have never taught before - well, that is not true, back in my corporate office days I was a computer trainer, so I taught people Windows, Microsoft Office (word, excel, powerpoint, etc) and some other classes. But I have never taught creative courses before.

The first one that I wish to share with you today is Journaling Tips & Tricks - Getting Started through Artist Class (If you sign up you can get $10 off the course price using coupon code paperrelics - be sure to use it so you save $10 and they know I sent you!). I will be teaching along side some very creative people, such as my sweet friend Danielle of the Vintage Dragonfly. Click here to see the course listings and please let me know if you sign up!

This class will be great for someone wanting to journal and do not know where to start, as well as for an accomplished journaler to pick up some new tips and tricks.

Should be fun and will include some exclusive downloads from the Paper Relics archives of images. Many surprises await!
