Holidays are Approaching

Howdy Crafters!  The holidays are coming up and are you ready?  We know we're not, we are a bunch of lazy turds.  We want to get some classes going so are minds are racing with ideas.  We want to know what you would like to make.  We are thinking about making Christmas tags (acrylic or cardstock), cards, wreaths, mixed media and more.  We are willing to work with groups, one on one classes or special orders.  We are posting a pic of some tag ideas.  Please let us know if you would be interested in coming to a class.  Let's get off our bums and get to crafting.

Need Your Input

Hello fellow crafters!  We are trying to get our heads together for class ideas.  We want to know what you would like to do.  Some ideas we have are Basic Stamping 101, Copic Coloring, Card Making, Mixed Media Canvas, Jewelry Making and more.  Please give us some input.   We are trying to get our classes together for the holidays.  Help us get our craft on!

More Mixed Media

Another mixed media piece .... this is on canvas board.

So much fun to do these pieces. Simple steps. You would be amazed how easily this comes together.

Come on ..you know you want to do one. You'll have some great fun.

Mixed Media

 Mixed media piece titled " Two Became One ".  Enjoy. This could be a class if anyone is interested. So simple to do- cut and paste could get this on canvas. Your hands will get messy , but so worth the mess.

Working on Shadow Boxes

What a great day!  I was able to get together with some friends and have them work on their Shadow Box Book projects.  They both decided they wanted to do something a little different than what we had planned.  They wanted to use the theme Fall and Halloween.  They both came out great.  Donna and Brooke worked really hard all afternoon.  Here are a couple pics of their projects.  We are getting our heads together to come up with some new project ideas for the holidays so please stay tuned.  Hope everyone has a great week!

Board Meeting

Morning Crafters!!  The board of HHC's took off for the weekend.  Tammy has the best boss ever!  He let us use his home in Angel Fire, NM.  It is beautiful there!...and very cool.  Most days got up to 77 degrees.  Tammy and I both were celebrating our birthdays and Prissy was our present.  LOL!  We had a great time.  We all considered this our monthly board meeting.  We took some crafts to work on.  Tammy & I practied our Copic coloring and Prissy did some sketching.  It was great.  We also spent a day in Red River and did the tourist thing.  We all hated to come back but we had too.  We have some ideas running through our heads so please stay tuned for details. 

What's Going On

Just thought I would pop in to show you what I've been doing.

I started drawing a series of "Skelly"  friends . They are" Esmeralda and Edmund ". I'm currently working on making stamps from Esmeralda and Edmund. For now they are canvas paintings.The other two thirds of this Happy Hour group share a birthday (which makes it very easy for me to remember B-Days). I wanted to share with you what I shared with my two friends.

If you read any of our blogs you know Tammy is the tech helper to Freddie and I. She is in the know when we have NO clue of how or what to do. We would still be using a string and a tin can for communication if she was not here to help us. Here is her very own Esmeralda as " Techno Chick ".

I truly hope you have stopped by Freddie's blog to see all the treasures he creates. You will not be disappointed. Lots of goodies to look at over there at  Just-A-Craftin. So here is Freddie's Edmund appropriately " Just-A-Craftin ".

     Happy B-Day my fellow Happy Hour Crafters.
