Have you thought about how you are going to preserve your holiday memories this year?  I've already gotten started using newly published photos of our grandchildren Hunter, Jillian and Wyatt.  I did these pages in a snap using Studio J software - love it!

Please join me the weekend of December 8th and 9th as we close out the year with a few last minute holiday cards (we will be using the new alcohol markers on one of them!) and we will begin to look forward to the new year and new CTMH products. Class is at 2:00 PM both days. $10 and I provide everything.

Please RSVP to me at nonnysnyder@aim.com.

Space is limited so reserve your seat as soon!

Get Ready for Father's Day!

I was hoping that the newsletter would be a nifty way to get news to you and for those of you who have successfully received it, I hope that is true. However, I know the newsletter is not safely reaching all your inboxes, so I apologize for the repeated information.

I hope you will be joining us for our next card class scheduled the weekend of June 9th and 10th. (2:00 PM both days). We will be making at least two cards that can be used for Father's Day wishes (or a masculine birthday greeting). The class is $10 and I supply everything you will need to create your own handmade cards. Please RSVP at your earliest convenience by emailing me at nonnysnyder@aim.com since space is limited.

Congrats to the Graduates!

I love this time of year - full of accolades for a job well done and promises for a bright future.  A hearty and loving congratulations to all of my friends and family who are walking across the stage this year . . .
