Hi Everybody!
I am sorry I haven't visited much of you this week - I hope to get some time over the weekend and make a few visits - yesterday I had my first "workshop" with the students making the bookmarks! We had a good time and managed to make 30 bookmarks - well they are not finished completly - they don't have the ribbon on yet but the basis is made and I am very proud of all my girls - they have showed quite a talent!
The bad news is that initially we were suppose to make around 70 bookmarks but the number of invited people has now gone up to 120 so I am a bit worried - I will have to make a lot of them myself over the weekend and we will have another "workshop" next week....
Here are some photos from yesterdays mayhem - I think all my punches were out, papers, scissors, glitter, gems....have a look and be amazed that I am still here ha, ha.....
These are my 3 lovely helpers - students - Natalija, Ana and Laura!
This is the mayhem on the table...
This is the spraying unit.........
This is the cardstock unit......
Stash on every available space.....
And the girls admiring their lovely work........
This is our yesterdays work on display......
We did stamping, embossing, punching coloring, quite a few techniques considering that all the girls were first time crafters......
Oh yes a few of you asked what flower was the blue one ( third photo down) on my WOYWW post - it is called tradescantia!
Ok I have a load of books waiting to be catalogued and another 80 or 90 bookmarks to make so wish me well...
Have a lovely weekend ....we are still up in the 30 deg C......sunny and hot.....
Hugs to all of you....

Ooh chilly and damp here now, a bit grim really! Looks like you had a good time too, the bookmarks are great! Can I help any? Make a dozen or so..would the post reach you in time?
ReplyDeletewow D - Looks like you girls were having fun... You might have converted some of them do you think? You'd probably make a great craft teacher and maybe something to consider doing in your 'spare' time???
ReplyDeleteAnyway - glad you are having great weather - its rubbish here...
Let us know if i can make a dozen or so - and what sizes they need to be...

Wow - don't they look fab all laid out like that - your book borrowers are in for such a treat, I do hope they appreciate them and all the hardwork that has gone into them. When you said students I imagined much younger children! glad to see that they did so well with the crafting.
