Right: Back to School
Ready to go back to school?
Ok, really I wouldn’t mind a bit more summer…but time keeps on going, so we make the best of it. One of the highlights of September has to be that back to school feeling. Even if you’ve been out of school for years, you can buy yourself a new notebook and feel like life is a little bit new.
Learn Something New Every Day is the first class for our autumn term. Over the month of September, we’ll make thirty entries in this small-format book designed to getting your eyes open to observing your world.
Worried about time? Fair enough. It does take time to make an entry every day. But the pages are small (6 inches square) and we’ll use some short cuts to keep your supplies to a nice small collection and we’ll focus on summary journalling rather than documenting each day with a full report. And every day you have the option of just duplicating the example page, so that could even eliminate your thinking time. We’re talking minutes every day here.
In this class, you get:
*An introductory shout-out to get you going
*30 daily prompts with full colour samples
*The chance to chat and share your work with other artists
*Posting access on the group blog
Class begins September 1. Don’t be late!
I’m sorry, this class is now sold out. Please e-mail me if you would like to prebook a place on this class for a future month.
Any questions? Just stick ‘em in the comments & I’ll get an answer to you asap.
Feels great to have something enjoyable for back to school!

No problem Rhi—you could download the prompts early and take them with you if you wanted to work on them while you were away, or you could wait to start when you returned and just have your book start that day instead of on the 1st of september. :)
22 August 2006, 21:47
Love the new site! I am so excited about the new class! Looking forward to it!!
23 August 2006, 10:44
This sounds fun! Is the aim to use limited supplies to complete an album?
23 August 2006, 10:49
Mel—yep, the supply list is both quite short and adaptable to your own stash. There’s the option to buy the supplies to make it match the sample album but there’s also advice on how to customise it to your style and stash. :) Hope you’ll join us!
23 August 2006, 11:08
Sounds great – but is this scrapping, art journalling or both?
23 August 2006, 11:11
Love the new site…anything pink has my vote! Looking forward to this class – it will be my first so please be gentle!!
23 August 2006, 11:14
Hiya Liz,
This album can be done in either style to suit your taste. It’s a bit of a hybrid…since scrapbooking is normal paper craft with words and photos in an album (yes, we’re doing that!) but journals are books we write in every day to record bits of our lives (yes, we’re doing that too!)...so I guess we’re in a grey area.
You can make the pages your own – go as graphic or as artsy as you like.
23 August 2006, 11:15
pmk—no problem! and welcome and thank you!! i always love new faces!
23 August 2006, 11:19
Hi
I have just paid but I would like the prompts to go to another email address.. How do I do that?
23 August 2006, 11:21
Hi Vikki! Just let me know via email where they should go. No problem!
23 August 2006, 11:38
Just signed up, this will be my first class. I’m hoping that it will give me some me time because Septembers always so busy as I work in a junior school.
23 August 2006, 11:46
Hello! I’m knew to all this but would love to give it a go! It sounds interesting! The only things I’m worried about are a) having enough bits & bobs and b) having enough time to do it!
23 August 2006, 11:59
Cool! I’ll prob end up doing a bit of both when i’m away, not every prompt, but not nothing at all either!
Thanks shim, looking forward to it!
23 August 2006, 12:21
Hey Shim!
Love the new-look site, it’s looking great! :oD
23 August 2006, 12:33
Site looks fab, Shim. Class sounds inspirational.
23 August 2006, 12:33
I really love your classes, but am still unsure what this one is like. Any chance of seeing a sample page?? Thanks!
23 August 2006, 12:57
I just signed up!
23 August 2006, 13:49
Julie, I will see what I can do. Stay tuned.
23 August 2006, 14:06
I am away the last week of september – how much “stuff” would I need to take with me to complete on time.
23 August 2006, 14:11
Not much Staci—especially by the last week, you’ll have a handle on what you need for each page. You’d just need a few bits of paper, plus pen, scissors and glue. You could always add a few bits later if you wanted. :)
23 August 2006, 15:09
I see there is no other choice. No use resisting. hits paypal button
23 August 2006, 15:23
sounds great ! Is there a cutoff date for signups, Shimelle?
Thanks :)
23 August 2006, 15:39
Hi Shimelle! I can’t wait to take another class from you. Will we get the supplies early so we can get stuff ready before the 1st?
Thanks for another great class!
23 August 2006, 16:37
I’m excited to finally take an on-line class with you! I’m worried about time since I’m a teacher, too, but Sept. is a full month, so I know I’ll have lots to write about!
23 August 2006, 17:39
I’ve signed up (now feeling very nervous!)!! What supplies do we need?
23 August 2006, 17:44
I’m very interested but am such a visual person, could we get a sample of what one of the prompts would be? Also is this a scrapbook or a journal? Thanks!! It sounds very exciting!
23 August 2006, 19:28
Well this has come at exactly the right time as my husband is working away during the week for a while starting 4th September!!!!!!! Sounds great – all booked up and ready!
Love the new site Shim it’s gorgeous!

23 August 2006, 22:56
Looking forward to this one. Be good to have an on-going project.
24 August 2006, 08:18
Well I’m here now and on a scrapping roll so let’s keep it moving. The supplies look interesting. Here goes…another bashing on the plastic card!
24 August 2006, 11:23
cheque is in the post – can’t wait to start. Love the new site btw :)
24 August 2006, 22:46
Hi Shimelle! Boy, Atlanta feels like it was years ago! Did you get my signature off without rubbing yourself raw ? I just signed up for your class. I’m looking forward to this NEW way of scrap/journal classes (I’ve never done an online class). Glad you’re home safe-and-sound! Hope “the boy” is well. Two boob salute!

Sally mentions the supplies – have I missed something?
26 August 2006, 01:16
Hello, I just signed up. This is my first time, though I keep a sketchbook. More of an art person than a scrapbook person, though I happily do both… I am sending you details of the email account I would like you to use, and I am away on 21 September until about the 25th… can I get those day’s prompts before I go? Will be taking basic sketching supplies with me to the coast…
26 August 2006, 13:50
Hi,I’ve just signed up (and am very excited)!!!I would like the emails sent to another email address. Where do I email?

Just heard about the course and am very tempted…. how much time do you reckon we would need each day?
26 August 2006, 18:23
Hi just found your website and think it’s fab. Never done an on-line course before and am really tempted by this one. What’s on the supply list?
26 August 2006, 20:17

26 August 2006, 23:00

27 August 2006, 13:38
I’ve never done an online class before, and I’ve never done this kinda scrapbooking before, but I am reeeeeally looking forward to it!
27 August 2006, 17:37
Right have stopped dithering and signed up for this. Now I’m all excited.
28 August 2006, 08:09
Just signed up for this, I did the Christmas journal and it really helped me stay up beat during those horrible first days of the new year. I’m hoping this little book will help beat the back to school blues
28 August 2006, 10:04
This sounds great – something to look forward to every day, not sure I will have the time, but promise to find some time every single day. Saw this on UKS and thought I would sign up too
28 August 2006, 13:25
Have signed up. This is my first on-line class. I’m away from5th to 12th Sept so hope to download prompts and take them with me. Is this possible?
