I signed up for all the Friday workshops, can’t wait!
Congratulations, Michael! You are the winner of this week’s blogpost giveaway! A big thanks to everyone who participated in this week’s giveaway! Get ready for the next giveaway on our next blog post!
Would love to attend the creative journaling workshop! Hopefully someday my partner and I can take a trip out there during the sidewalk sale.
As a constant learner and re-learner, FP 101 would be the one I’d choose (now to see if I can move a meeting!)
I’m planning to attend Decorative/Creative Journaling, but I’d also love to attend Exploring Ink in Unique Ways with Alexandra Richardson if it wasn’t for work.
Alexandra Richardson’s Exploring Ink in Unique Ways…is the workshop that I would definitely attend. Wish I was going.
I would definitely want to go to creative and decorative journaling as that’s what I love to do!!
I am most interested in attending “Create Stunning Handcrafted Cards: Stamping, Embossing, and ZEBRA CLiCKART Marker Techniques w/ Ivy of Zebra Pens” since it has been a while since I crafted any cards and I own a lot of ZEBRA products. It would be great to explore and see if I can discover new projects with a brand I support.
Exploring ink with Alexandra would win out, though there are many great classes to choose from!
I’m attending the “Fountain Pen 101” session, but I’m also tempted by the exploring ink one as well!
I am torn between Laurie’s calligraphy 101 and the journaling class! What a great line up!
I’d be interested in the exploring ink class!
I would attend “Exploring Ink with Alexandra” to learn how to use my inks in different ways in addition to writing.
Exploring Ink with Alexandra sounds like fun!! But sadly I won’t be there that day – see you Friday!!
I would love to be present for the In-Depth Exploration of Pen Materials with Ryan. Sounds so interesting!
Since moving from Hawai’i to Texas, and enduring a tornado and hurricane Beryl where we were left for a week without power, I would take the Aloha Greeting Cards class. It is not only reflective of my culture and childhood, but a reminder that when difficult things happen, to treat people with Aloha.
