It is that time of year again where we get back into the swing of things and offer more classes and do more events inside and outside of the store.

Januray 2010 Events Calendar

The January calendar is now on our website. We are offering many classes this January. We are also offering the the Happily Ever After (HEA) classes again, for all you brides to be. As for the Knitting 201 and the Sock-it-to-me (knitting class) we have changed out the projects with different patterns and yarn. Mini Book Club for January is adorable, as it is a recipe book made from a Kaiser album and Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird Line. I will definitely be taking that class.

Season has created some new pieces for each of the beading classes, that include wire wrapping. Cricut Classes are returning, as well and always seem to be popular after the Holidays, along with Scrap Days & Nights.

Crochet 101 is still being offered, and our Crochet Night will start up again, being held on each Tuesday night from 6pm to 9pm at Meeting Grounds Coffee Shop located in the front corner of our store. Sit & Knit is held on Thursday Nights each week at the coffee shop as well.

Oh I almost forgot... Card Chaos is back on the calendar as Sarah Lynn needed a break from all the card classes we offered in November. She is well rested and has some cute card ideas for January. We hope to see you in one of our many classes.

Gypsy Demo this Sunday December 20th!

Genna, our Cricut instructor will be here this Sunday, December 20th from 11am to 1pm demonstrating the Gypsy. Stop in and let her show you how it works. She can also, answer any questions you may have. It will be taking place at the end of aisle 12. We will also be having a sale on a lot of the other Cricut products that are available. See you then!

Cricut Swarm Registration has Begun!

We had so much fun at our first Cricut Swarm that we have scheduled another one. Unfortunately, it is the same weekend as Little Falls Craft Sale, but it was the only full weekend that was open between now and the end of the year. You can find the Cricut Swarm invite here. Registration did start today but there are still openings. We are looking very forward to the event and hope you will join us.

August Class Calendar

You can view the August calendar here or download here. I have been busy working with instructors to get more classes lined up this fall. Our knitting, crochet and Cricut classes will be starting up again in September. I hope to have September's calendar ready to post the first part of August. Pictured is the project that will be completed in Mini Book Club in August. Nicole did a great job designing this one and just wait until you see the mini book she created for September. It is my favorite one yet! Be sure to check out the August calendar to see where Crafts Direct will be hosting free make & takes for your kids, and stop back to check out September's calendar.

Classes, Classes, & More Classes!

I have been busy working on May's Calendar of Events, and I am pretty excited about what we are offering. (It will be posted once I have dates finalized.) Our classes have been going over extremely well, and are planing on offering classes on specific projects in the near future. Season, who works in the Beads & Basics Dept is going start teaching our beading classes this May. She is a very talented person and came up with some pretty amazing projects for the beading 101 & 201 classes. Here is a sneak peak...

The turquoise Tassel necklace is the Beading 101 class project and the copper pendant necklace and earrings are the beading 201 projects. We still have openings in some of our classes we are offering this month, such as Mini Book Club, Crochet 101, Rosemaling, Cricut 101, and Knitting 201. Every Tuesday we have Open Crochet Night and every Thursday Sit & Knit. Check the calendar for more information.

14 Days of Love: Day 13 and Day 14

Day 13: LOVE Frames - (That I forgot to post yesterday) These were a cinch to make. I took 4 3.5"x5" brown frames, cut down printed paper to fit in the frames (I used My Minds Eye Quite Smitten Line), using the vinyl word Love, I cut apart each letter and applied one to the glass of each frame. Placing the frame for the V horizontally. I embellished the Frame for the L by tying a little ribbon around the frame. These frames could be left up all year just by changing the paper.

Day 14: Valentine's Day Card - I still have to make a card for my sweetie, but here is an idea that you can make with some scraps of paper you may have lying around. The card measures 4x5 and the strips of paper are all cut to 1 7/8" wide. The stripe and the red w/ pink hearts are 2 3/4" long and the others are 2". Adhere them to the front of the card leaving a 1/8" border on all sides. I cut the heart from Bazzill cardstock, on my Cricut machine, you could certainly free hand it if you don't own a Cricut. Add a little ribbon and adhere to the front of the card using 3-D Dots to give it some dimension. Last, just stamp or write your message on the inside. Hope you all have a Lovely Valentine's Day.

We hope to see in one of the many classes we offer. Pictured are a few of the classes we offer, Mini Book Club, Knitting 101,and Card Chaos.

Saturday, May 31st, Cricut Demonstration

I just wanted to remind all you scrapbookers, and non-scrapbookers for that matter, that if you are interested in either of the Cricut machines and how they work, stop by this Saturday, May 31st and visit Genna anytime from 10am to 11:30am at the Paper Crafts Demo Counter for a demonstration or if you have any questions about either of the machines. Be sure to check out the great Cricut specials that we have online at http://cricut-craftsdirect.com/ and we hope to see you this Saturday.

Cricut Demo!

For all of you that have been inquiring about a Cricut class, we have actually scheduled a free demo. We decided to do it as a demo at the paper crafts demo counter so you can actually see how the machine works, since it is more of a visual & hands on learning experience. This demo is for those who already own a Cricut or Cricut Expression machine and have questions or for those who are looking into buying one and what to see how it works and all its features. The demo is on Saturday April 19th from 11am to 1pm. You can stop by anytime during that 2 hour period. We will be offering another class on the Cricut Design Studios Software early June. The exact date has not been decided, but we will keep you posted. We hope to see you then.
