Well for me if someone had told me that I would hop on an airplane and fly for 5 hours to attend a paper craft technique I probably would have laughed. As much as I love creating scrap book pages, cards and learning techniques, up until now I have done that from a U Tube Video.
When my sister from Kamloops sent me a link to a class she was taking in Vancouver using a brayer I booked a flight. I also wanted to spend some time with my sister and for both of us do be able to go to a class together was exciting. She actually booked us into 3 more classes while I was out there. It was fabulous and I even had time to swim in the ocean.
Arriving at the destination for out first class was a vacation in itself. It was in Granville Market. a trendy tourist place in Central Vancouver. The atmosphere was one of excitement, children laughing and screaming waiting for the Children's market to open. This was our first destination as well. A room upstairs in the Children's Market set aside for a group of women to participate in a Christmas in July theme. Christmas theme meant making a Christmas card. So cute. This class also led us to the discovery of a cute little stamp and srapbook store.
Our next class was the reason for my spontaneous flight and vacation. It was at Scrapbook Warehouse and as I have been there before I knew we would have to go early to browse. We did that of course but went the day before to browse and shop then early for class to browse and shop and even found time to shop after the class. Jessie Hurley was the instructor for this class and it was fabulous. This girl has a really talent and A LOT of patience. Jessie was also the instructor for the next two classes we participated and they were in Burnaby. When I left I felt I had a new friend and Jessie has since flown to Ontario and taught four classes at One Crazy Stamper which I signed up for immediately. I cannot wait for her to come back here.
This spur of the moment trip to see my sister and take classes was so much fun and think we might have to make this a yearly event. Sis it's your turn though, come fly to Ontario for some more creative excitement.
