Rose-coloured times
Yesterday was a positively brilliant day filled with the best ever exam results from my students, and the boy had exam success too with a mention in the financial times. Topped off with a fab meal at The Bell with two new friends and neighbours, I have been on cloud nine for the last twenty-four hours.
Good moods do great things, you know.
By request, I’ve posted a little sneak peek here of the new class, Learn Something New Every Day. Remember these are little pages in a small format book, and you’ll realise just how easy it is to achieve an entry every day. {By the way…I know that page includes a little polaroid-style print, but don’t fret—this isn’t something you need! I was just playing with my little instant camera but in the class we explore lots of different ways of getting photos onto your daily pages.}
But because I am in a good mood, I’ve got a free place to give away. You have to comment here to enter. Sometime over this three-day weekend I will put all the names in a jar and draw one to do this course for free. {And I don’t know about you, but when I am shopping, free is my favourite price.} And because I would never want to make something annoying for those of you who signed up straight away {thank you!}, if you comment you will be put in the draw too. If you win, you can choose to give the class to a friend or have a refund of your class fee. It’s all good.
Spread the word!
And have a brilliant weekend.

Hi Shimelle,
Very excited to see another class from you, and if you are mad enough to run it at the start of term, I guess I am mad enough to take it (teacher here too)! I think I saw you at V – watching Divine Comedy at the 4 Stage…

25 August 2006, 22:18
Quick question, on the front of the album I think the words “something new” are stamped onto blue cardstock…what stamps are these? Really shouldn’t be asking for help to shop but I’ll live life on the edge!!

26 August 2006, 14:35
So there I was thinking that I wasn’t going to do this class, that I didn’t have time, and I would have to pass it by, and then you show me those pages, and I’m like Hmm….. Maybe I need to find the time. Maybe I could really do a small page every day…. Maybe this is what I need to actually get scrapbooking again…...
26 August 2006, 14:37
Never tried a class before, Ooo shall I have a go, lol – so worried I’ll not be able to keep up. Love the sneak peek :)
26 August 2006, 15:33
