packing up…again…

Paris
well bloggers, it's time to hit the road again!  busy around here getting everything packed up for paris and trying to fit it all in.  we have 100+ class kits, 50 stamp sets, inks galore, grungeboard, tools, and other demo stuff to get packed – hope there is room for clothes!  it's always an adventure teaching abroad because you need to make sure you have all you need.  looking forward to being back in paris to teach.  my good friend ludmilla will be there to translate my workshops (also a challenge).  i met ludi-pops a few years ago on my first trip to paris and we hit it off right away – she owns a scrapbook store in canada scrapbook quebec and is always there to help me out!

i also wanted to share this email i got today from the very talented mascha who is a creative designer for one of netherlands biggest craft magazines hobbyhandig.  check out what she did with grungeboard!  her challenge was to design bags using grungeboard so she designed these bags to hold a cellphone, glasses, and handkerchief!  wish i could read the article, but the artwork is amazing and so colorful – i love being inspired by others…
