Addiction

Oh wow, where did my morning go?! I did my morning work and thought "Oh, I'll spend a few minutes working on my planner." It's almost 1 pm! I clicked "Save and Quit" in the Studio and stared wistfully at the confirmation pop-up. "No! I'm not sure I want to quit!" Someday I may have to join a support group but right now I'm enjoying it way too much!

Yes, I really am crazy enough to talk to my computer.

*sigh* Now it's time to go do some work and other things on my to do list.

Yay! We had fun at the open house and now I have a workshop to conduct tonight as well as one this coming Wednesday evening plus I'll be at an informational booth during the day. (It's Rain Day!) We're trucking right along.

I have a few projects actually in the works now. One is a surprise for someone. I'm also working on a planner (Organization is key!), a couple of projects that will be turned into other crafts and some fun pages for framing.

Word of warning! You will get sucked in and spend hours in your studio! I was up way too late last night playing in there. I promise though you'll see the results of at least some of the projects embedded here. Stay tuned!

I'm so excited! Tomorrow is the big day! Off and on today I've been working on materials. (I do have other work I have to do too. ) It's been fun though to explore studio, work on some designing and just dream about the possibilities.

I'm sooo glad I have the premium studio too. There are just so many more options. It really helps. I hope those of you attending are ready to see a sampling of the possibilities.

Once I get the binders together I need to figure out what I'm serving as refreshments and make sure everything is set to go. (Refreshments aren't really hard but I love to plan things like that so I make it more complicated than most people.)

It's time for the first step.

I'm holding my grand opening for Heritage Makers! It's July 22nd at 7 pm and I'd love to see you there! The address is 63 W. Franklin St., Waynesburg, PA 15370. Whether you have ideas or not on what you can do, don't worry. There is a wide variety of projects and potential, really, something for everyone!

Projects I am planning:

• A planner for next year. - One thing I plan to do to help me remember birthdays? Each month in the planner will include a photo or photos of people who have a birthday that month! For instance, my sister and nephew both have birthdays in January so I'll include photos of both of them!
• A storybook for my oldest nephew's kindergarten graduation.
• Storybooks to help my nieces and nephews learn.
• Wedding book for my sister's recent wedding.
• Storybooks for each one of the kids, extra ones for the milestones!
• I also hope to write some small original stories for the kids! I think it will be fun to create stories with them as characters and think too that they will love to hear and/or read a story about them!

I think I'll stop the list now. :) It's a bit overwhelming and this blog post is meant to talk about the open house and not my projects! I just get sooo excited thinking about them.

Anyway, I'm holding a Grand Opening Open House to introduce myself as a Heritage Makers consultant and help my attendees begin preserving their memories all while having some fun!

Bring a friend and stay awhile. Refreshments will be served and we'll have plenty of samples available for you to peruse.

I'm incredibly excited about embarking on this journey. Not only indulging my own passion for photos and then doing something with them but helping others do the same?! Awesome.
