I know it's not "official", but to me, Labour Day weekend is the end of the summer. (I'm sure that many teachers & students would agree with me?! LOL). I hope that you have been able to spend some time with friends and family relaxing this long weekend!
Just a quick post to let you know that I've adapted the schedule slightly for my Christmas Stamp a Stacks – I previously added in some weekday evening times, and I have moved the December Stamp a Stack from Sunday December 2nd to Saturday December 1st, still at 1pm. This is because the Burlington Santa Claus Parade will be happening on the Sunday at 2pm, and my son will be marching with the Junior Redcoat band so I'll be out there supporting him as well.
If you are looking for some activities for yourself or your crafty offspring, please consider attending one of my many card classes, or hosting a class yourself! I have a variety of times available – please contact me to set something up. All you have to do is provide the people and I'll do the rest! It's a fun girls night out/in :)
Lastly – my monthly email newsletter will be sent out tomorrow morning, so be sure to be subscribed to get the latest issue!

I've decided it's time to offer a bit of a special for my hostesses. If you book a private class with me in September, the price for each attendee will be $15 ($5 off my regular $20 price). Hostesses are always free.
What's a private class? Well, it's a card making class for you and your friends (as many as you can fit into your space!). Just like my monthly card classes, we'll make 4 cards, complete with envelopes. I will cut everything and have packages ready for you to stamp, Big Shot as necessary and assemble, following instructions and using a sample as visual guide. Sound like fun? It is! Plus, the hostess can earn hostess dollars to spend on merchandise too!
If you are within a reasonable driving distance of Burlington, Ontario, you are within my area! Please contact me if you are interested in taking advantage of this offer, and we'll discuss details and come up with a mutually agreeable date.
Please note that availability may be limited, so first come first served! Monthly card classes or Christmas Card Stamp a Stacks are not included in this offer. Thanks.
