so, that class.

okay, okay. i've put it off long enough, don'tcha think? it's time to talk about what's been keeping me so busy. it's that class that i have coming up...........and i can't wait!


jan 13th is the day it begins over at debbiehodge.com and it runs twice a week for 5 weeks! you'll walk away with 10 downloadable lessons to complete in the comfort of your own home, and at your own pace, and in your own time! it's suitable for beginners, intermediate AND advanced scrappers, card makers, & paper crafters. i will be available during the 5 weeks for questions, to share ideas, to help you master the techniques being taught, etc.

but, wait..........that's not all!

when you register for the class, you'll get a coupon code to use at my favorite online store, Scrapsupply. wendy has been generous enough to make the coupon code valid for 20% off, your ENTIRE ORDER, and you can use it not only once, not twice, but THREE times from now until the last day of class.

but, wait.........that's not all!
you know how fun it's been here with the giveaways every day!? well, believe it or not, i still have a multitude of stuff i need to move outta here. so there will be lots of fun giveaways during class too! and BONUS ideas between classes! you won't want to miss it!

AND, it's only $25!!! what's even better is that debbie has set up a lovely little system in which your family can purchase you a gift certificate for Christmas!
