Copics Training

Hi Ladies,

I am soo excited because I will be attending the Copics Certification Training in TWO WEEKS!!! I have wanted to attend this training for over a year, and it is finally coming to my area! I honestly do not know what that will affect as far as my You Tube videos go, but I think I will always be a Multi-Media Artist. But, as I learn more about Copics, I can also teach you what I know!! As you know I love to dabble in alot of crafts...hahaha! As long as my pocket book can handle it. But, Copics are awesome and I really want to use them in my projects. So, watch for something new by the end of June because I will be totally excited to share it with you!!! Take care!!!

Rain, rain go away

Seems like Spring Showers are here, or should I say thunderstorms? I guess that gives me more time to craft. I've been working on my goals for this year, and so far, I have two of them completed.  The next one is to get published. I don't really need to do it for fame, or fortune, or even recognition.  But, it seems to be a big deal to say you have been "published".  I am happy just to be doing my own thing. So, amongst my other scrapbooking aspirations, I will be submitting my art to various magazines. If anybody has any tips for me, just leave me a comment or email me. Thank you, and have a glorious day! :>

ANNOUNCING NEW MONTHLY SWAPS!

Hi Everyone-

***SWAPS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR JUNE, YOU CAN NOW SIGN UP FOR JULY**

I'm so excited to announce a few new swaps on my blog. These will be monthly ongoing swaps for beginners and advanced crafters. When I first started papercrafting 16 years ago, I participated in every swap I could so I could learn from different people. So, this swap will include a swap group for beginners. I have heard many people say they won't swap because they are scared to swap with advanced crafters, so this will help them ease into it. They are both tag swaps because mini albums are too big, and tags(the larger 4-5 inch ones) are perfect because they are small and quick. So here are the 3 swaps. Sign ups start today for June Swaps. Rules are posted at the bottom of this post. (NAMES WILL BE ADDED AS PEOPLE SIGN UP.

EMAIL ME TO SIGN UP AT PinkScrapper99@yahoo.com

1.   Once you sign up, you are committed. Please make every attempt to finish on time and mail tags on time. If you do not follow through, you won't be able to participate again.  I will excuse for unusual circumstances though.  Why so strict?  I have heard horror stories of people never getting their swap items. So, I do not wish to disappoint anyone.

2.   You mail 5 + 1 for the hostess(ME), EXCEPT for the One on One swap.

3.   You mail to me and I will coordinate tags and ship the exchanged 5 tags back to you.  Please include a second envelope and enough return postage in your envelopes so I can mail it BACK to you.

4.    Mail to me by June 15(15th of every month and I will mail out on the 20th of each month).

5.    Please try to follow theme of swaps, but don't run out and spend money to do them-get creative! You need not use the newest papers or embellies- just have fun!

That's it. If you have questions, just ask me, I am happy to help you.

Mother's Day

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I wanted to have something really special to say for Mother's Day, and I found a site with some meaningful quotes.  I hope you enjoy them, these are a few of my favorites!

**A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.  ~Tenneva Jordan
 
                (Ok, how many times have you done that? :>)

**A mother understands what a child does not say.  ~Author Unknown

                        (This is so true isn't it??) 

**Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love.  ~Mildred B. Vermont

HAVE A BLESSED MOTHER'S DAY EVERYONE!!! :>
