This is my kind-of, sort-of
quarterly update for all of my Mosaic friends and crop friends! :) It's a long one, but it's full of great
information!
1. My first order of business here is to express
to all of my friends, new and old, what a joy it has been to share this year
with you. I have always dreamed of being
able to make money at my hobby and, while I won't be quitting the day job anytime
soon, I am RICH RICH RICH in new friends and in inspiration! My heart is filled with an overflowing abundance
of gratitude for all of the various enrichments that you folks have brought
into my life!
2. I wanted to make you aware of some upcoming
events that are not yet up on any of my cropportunities groups. If you are the organizer of any of these
events, please post them to reach a larger crowd than my own mailing list! (See details below)
Saturday, November 3rd in Milford - all day Scrap and Craft to benefit Mothers Of
Pre-Schoolers at Faith Church. Sign up
NOW for this event. I do not know these ladies, personally, but I
make it a policy to share any events I know of with you ladies. Even though I am unable to attend, I wanted to pass it on for those of
you who may. Contact Shelly Keebaugh
with any questions at shelly@keebs.net
Sunday, November 4, 2012 1:30-3:30 - My next class at Stamping Buddies. I will be teaching the Falling for Fall
panoramic mosaic layout that I taught this past weekend so if you missed out,
you have one last chance! Call the store
at (513) 891-CRFT to reserve your spot. www.stampingbuddies.com
Saturday, November 10th in Kenwood / Deer Park
area - Michelle Diekmeyer and
Edith Hulsman's traditional all day Scrap Therapy Day at the Cincinnati Church
of Christ. This includes amazing
coupons and discounts with Stamping Buddies
(located right across the street from the scrap). This year the event will be a fundraiser for
local orphans. Contact Michelle with
any questions at mdiekmeyer@gmail.com
Friday, November 30 through December 2, 2012 - weekend retreat in Traverse City, MI. One of my favorite companies, Simply Stitched
page kits, are co-sponsoring a weekend retreat in Traverse City, MI. http://www.simplystitchedscrapbooking.com/index.html Follow the links on their website for the
registration form and details. Although
the forms online say the payment deadline was October 15, please note that
members of my meetup group (see below) are elibible for $100 off the registration
price now through November 3, 2012! Now
that's a sweet deal!
Friday, December 21, 2012 (maybe Saturday,
December 22, 2012)? – This
is just some wild hair notion that I got.
Since they are saying the Mayan Calendar says that the world will end on
12/21/12, I was thinking we should have a scrapbooking a’crop’alypse
party. Is anybody up for this? I know it’s close to Christmas, but we could
use it as a chance to finish up all those last minute gifts. I’ll need imput fairly soon. If we go low-key with no vendors, etc., I
could reserve Miss Bridgette’s with as few as 20 folks at $20 a head – and we
could each have our own tables (up to 30 of them) at that price. If anyone else has any other venue ideas, I
am certainly willing to keep an open mind, depending on the level of
interest. Email with your thoughts,
comments suggestions.
Saturday,
February 16, 2013 in Lebanon, Ohio. Shelly Allen's and my next
big crop day in Lebanon. Details will be
available on our blog: www.scrapbookcropandshop.blogspot.com on November 1, 2012, or use the attached form
to pre-register by November 15. This
deadline is a little shorter than our normal early bird deadline, but Shelly
and I are hoping to shop for our goody bag items over Thanksgiving weekend when
the deals are on! Don't miss
out!!!! Only early bird registrants (by
Nov 15) will receive a vendor goody bag with prizes from all of our
vendors. Classes won't be posted until
at least Nov 1, so you don't HAVE to register for classes yet, but make sure to
get your early bird cropper registration in before the prices go up and the
goodies go down. You will know you are
officially registered when you get an email from Shelly confirming your registration
and sending you a link to register for the potluck!
3. New Ways to Update! Rather than sending out
an email every time I have an update, I wanted to
consolidate the process as much as possible. Please consider joining my
(Deborah White (Hitchcock)) "Cropportunities" group on Facebook or
joining my new cropportunities group on www.meetup.com. And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
share these options with your friends.
Please note that, through Meetup, we have some great sponsors, including myself and Shelly, who offer perks such as discounts to our meetup members. Stamping Buddies is offering all our meetup members a GREAT perk right now, so make sure you mention if you're a meetup member when you're in the store!
5. Upcoming Classes
Depending on student
interest, I hope to resume mosaic classes once a month in the Columbus area at
Red Letter Journals in Grove City in January 2013. I am also planning on having a few page kits
for sale at the November 10, 2012 Holiday Open House in the Store, although I
won’t be there to see your smiling faces!
http://www.redletterjournals.com/
At, I am teaching a month
at Stamping Buddies in the Kenwood/Deer Park area of Cincinnati (http://www.stampingbuddies.com/).
Details about these classes
can also be found on my blog and the store websites.
6. Share with Me! I
want to encourage all of my students to email me pictures of any mosaics that
you create. I would love to share them on my blog.
7. Cheer for Me! Lastly,
if you are a student of mine (a mosaic scrapbooker) or are thinking about
taking my classes in the future, I would be eternally grateful if you would
consider 1) joining the Journella website; and 2) cheering for me. Journella is
an online journalling website where I (and my fellow design team
members) post our Mosaic
challenge layouts at least twice a
month. (The DT member who gets the most cheers wins $50 in free
products.) I believe that I am the only DT member who actually teaches mosaic classes and it would
be a huge
support to me if my
students would join the website and cheer for me. www.journella.com
It's free and easy and
you'll
love the features of the
site:
*
Collecting of Facebook, Twitter, and Blog postings for organizing and
saving.
* Add photos to your journal entries for better
stories.
* Organize memories by category and easily sort with the
click of
the mouse.
* Import family and friend's blog postings to your
account.
* Share your favorite stories (on story by story basis)
with others to our NEW story board.
* Read other's stories, cheer them on, and follow your
favorite authors.
* Many more new features added every month.
