CS Long Island, NY workshop

[EDelValle]

anyone else going to Misha's
workshop tomorrow?

[Hasmom99]

No, just a tad too far. I went to the one she and Kristen had in Delaware over the summer. Let us know how it is. I'll be curious to hear if Dinah discusses the new forum.

I had planned on it but then had the whole job loss issue.. They should be having a blast.

How did it go Elizabeth?? Or are you still there?

[EDelValle]

I thoroughly enjoyed the day, there
is something about spending time with
like minded people that totally relaxes me.

We did a group of ALSB pages, with pages
from different kits, using the Idea Deck for
the formulas, a make and take, (the Passport
Portfolia made with the sheet of colassal paper,
just folds, no glue, origami on a large scale)
We did tags with different techniques using the
watercolor crayons, I am going to need to practice
these more, here at home, I tend to over spritz
with water. AND, wonder of wonders, I made a Journal
Book, with sewn signatures, a first for me. For some
reason i always felt intimidated by just the thought
of creating a book using signatures. Not so intimidating,
when you have someone giving you blow by blow
directions (Dinah) I came home feeling very accomplshed.

So, if you ever get a chance to participate in a workshop
I would recommend it

Sounds fantastic, I am glad you had so much fun.

Glad you enjoyed yourself. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Those are the same things we did with Dinah here in Sac. They are really good fun - and though the intention is to sign up more crafters, there's really not a huge "pushy" sell at all for it.

I'm hoping to organize another one sorta in this area in the next few months.

Sounds like you had a great time. I should warn you.... once you get going on stitched books, it's hard to stop! I'm working on star books for Christmas presents this year...... loved the buy 3 projects, get one free sale... instant present ideas!
