My monthly card classes were yesterday..I love teaching these classes and have the greatest girls in my classes. I teach a morning & an evening class each month on creating cards. Some of the girls in my class have taken classes from me for several years.
After class I spent the day with my friend Connie; we went to lunch at a new spot for me "The Greenhouse" at Kierland Commons.. great food and fun restaurant. We then ventured to Scottsdale Fashion Square for a day of shopping and fun. Found some great things. Our last stop before heading back up north to the evening class was the "Sprinkles" cupcake store..let me just say HEAVEN. I have heard so much about this store and was excited to finally get to see it. they have 20 flavors of cupcakes and people wait in line to get in and purchase their favorites. I chose carrot cake & milk chocolate.. Can't wait to taste them today.
When I arrived home from class I got a call from my grandaughter Morgan. She had been in California with her other grandparents for her cousins graduation and had a great week. She was panicking because her foot was red and swollen and throbbing and no-one was at home. Her dad is in California with the boy scouts and her mom had to drive a carload of girls up to church girls camp. She was in tears and scared, so I told her I would come and get her and bring her to my house for the night. When we got home I got her all settled in comfy and put on the beautiful peaceful music to lull her to sleep. She is still asleep, so I think it worked.
Friday and Saturday I get to participate in Creative Escapes Preview Day. I volunteer for the event and all the teachers and volunteers get together on Friday and Saturday to work out any kinks in the upcoming classes. Each teacher presents their class and we participate ..It is so much fun, because we get to actually take all the classes that will be taught at the event in Sept. Once we leave the preview day, we have to sign a confidentiality agreement that we will not divulge any of the activities for the event. So all of the projects we make are boxed and sealed away until September. It's such a fun day to be with friends and take classes from these amazing teachers.
