Cards For Kindness Initiative

Hello everyone,

Hope you are doing well and staying safe.  As one of my favorite grocery clerks said "Every day seems like Ground Hogs day!".  It is so sad and so true.

It has been a while since my last post. So I decide to post some photos of the cards I sent to Scrapbook.com to support their "Cards For Kindness" global initiative. I am planning to make as many cards as I can to send in for this great cause! If you want to join, you can read all about the initiative in the link below.

Take care and be well.

Winter Card Making - March 23, 2020 (Make-up Class)

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all staying safe and doing well. Since we did not get a chance to finish our last class meeting for the Winter Session, I will be mailing you the materials for the cards shown below to make at home. Instructions will be sent to you separately via email, and I made sure that you will be able to complete the cards with the supplies that you have on hands. Please email me if you have any questions.

Take care and be safe.

Winter Card Making - March 9, 2020

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all doing well. An email was forwarded to everyone in class earlier in the week, but I want to include it here anyway.  As a cautionary measure, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District has decided to close all schools from March 13 to April 3, 2020. Thus, our last class meeting scheduled for March 23 will be canceled. At this time, the district is planning to reopen after Spring Break on April 6, 2020.  I will let you know as soon as I receive any additional information regarding this fluid situation.  Thank you for your patience.

Below are the cards we made in class this past Monday.  Please take care and stay safe.

Hope you are enjoying the nice weather we had this week.  Below are the cards we made from our last class.  It was probably not very wise of me to give the class too many choices.  Lesson learned.  See you all on Monday, March 9, 2020.
