I cannot believe that my last post was in December and now January is almost over.

I did not get anything posted on this blog, but I did have a busy January.  Taking Christmas decorations down and packing to leave for Arizona seemed to take more time than usual even though I didn’t have as tight a schedule as last year.

Creativation was on here seemingly before I got a chance to unpack.  Had an unbelievably fun week with most of my pals from Scrapendipity.   On Thursday and Friday, we were all busy with classes, which were without exception simply wonderful.  It is really a special treat to see crafting celebrities in person and to watch them work in class.  Included were classes from Altenew, Lawn Fawn, Gel Press, Dyan Reavely and Faber Castell.  Then on Saturday, Sunday and Monday we drooled over all the new products coming out.  Sandra flitted from booth to booth,  sitting down to make dozens of Make and Take projects.  It was all I could do to keep up with her.  We hung around the Ranger booth, learning about the new alcohol inks and Oxide sprays from Tim Holtz.  We were clearly visible in our Canadian buffalo plaid shirts in several of the different companies’ videos being made of Tim’s demonstration.  Shameless, we were.

Here is a photo of some of the loot we received in the classes and some of the Make and Takes we did.

I did have some time to do some crafting including this layout of us with Tim Holtz…………………………………I know…………………shameless
