There is a little less than two weeks to go until the big A to Z Blogging Challenge. I am getting my letters together and hopefully I'll finish at least the drafts in time. I found the last few years when I had my draft posts made it was a lot easier for me to keep up. I am going to try to get over to visit a few more people this year too.
In the meantime, I am SO EXCITED because I get to teach a class at our local RAC (Recreation and Aquatic Center). I have been trying to hold a class for the last several months but sadly not enough people signed up. The RAC requires five people minimum and I've only had one or two so the classes were cancelled. This month I have five thanks to some friends. I'll be showing them how to make card sets like this from Creative Memories.
If you are interested, you can get the sets from my Creative Memories site and make some too or you can get the ones that I already made from my Etsy shop. I also got approved to do some classes during the next season about making vision cards and dreamboards. Crossing fingers there will be some interest in that.
And along the lines of my A to Z theme, I also mailed out some cards as part of a project through the Card Campaign, a group I found during the election last year. I printed and mailed 40 postcards to old Dumpy in the White House.
The idea was to have everyone send in their postcards on the same day (yesterday the 15th) so that it floods the White House mail. It may not do any good but I have to say that writing those messages was great for my mental health. The return address is the Superior Court Building so there is no way to trace it back to me, although honestly it is free speech so I'm not worried. I said nothing that wasn't true and nothing that hasn't been said before by millions of people.
Happy St. Patrick's Day tomorrow. It is not one of the holidays I celebrate much for some reason -- mainly I'm not Irish LOL. See you again soon!
Hi, Janet!
ReplyDeleteYessum, the A to Z will soon be upon us. Seems like you are better prepared this year than you were other years, with drafts for most letters already "in the can." You will thank yourself once you are in the thick of it because, as you well know, things get hectic very quickly. No use putting yourself under pressure having to compose posts in the middle of the Challenge if you can avoid it.
I'm very happy knowing you will be teaching a class at the RAC. Congratulations! Those card sets are so attractive and quality crafted. My favorite design is the colorful cluster of wild mushrooms. I also applaud you for participating in the postcard campaign and speaking truth to power.
Yessum, I wish you a happy St. Paddy's Day as well, and hope you and my buddy Benny will keep well and in good spirits until we meet again when the A to Z gets underway the first of the month. Have a nice Sunday, dear friend Janet!
Hey there Shady! What a pleasant surprise. I know you limit your blogging time so I am honored that you stopped by. Our little Benny is doing well and we have been mostly able to dodge the rain we've been having here when we go for our walks.
DeleteThe mushroom card is a favorite of mine too and I am looking forward to seeing how the class interprets the cards and makes them their own. See you in a few weeks!
Congratulations on the class. Hope it goes well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy!
