Well here it is. It's been awhile again. I haven't been very good about staying on top of this, but I really am trying! Here are a few
samples of some of the things I've been working on. It was like I was going away every month for awhile. July I went to Valley Forge for CKC Convention. Had a great time with a couple of friends 
and took lots of classes. Some were ok and some were great. Still haven't had a chance to implement them into my own classes. The whole purpose of taking them! September we finally did our Hoover leader's weekend. That was also lots of fun. I taught them how to make a paperbag album. We did some outdoor cooking, died a t-shirt, learned about chocolate and of course ate lots of it too! And did lots of eating! Then in October was my annual Octoberfest. So I was back at Hoover (that's where my September outing was). I taught the paperbag album again but showed them some different and interesting ways to add even more photos to the album. I also taugh
t another class on different ways to wrap gifts. Some were very simple, others had more steps to them.

This woman's daughter was turning 16 and they needed a book for all the guests to write something to the special guest, so I came up with this book. I absolutely love the book. She gave me the paper that matched the invitation pretty well and I covered some chipboard with it and stamped some of the pages inside and had to "bling" it up a bit. I did an RSVP pen and added bling to that as well. The whole thing really "sparkled"! I hope Annie was as happy with it that I am.
My next project is to finish the marching band scrapbook that my daughter and the rest of the seniors gave to the director. It looks nice but needs just a bit more. When I get that back and finish that, I'll post a few of those pictures as well.
Happy crafting! Cyndy
