Fancy Fold Bear Birthday Card

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

 Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.  I am anxiously waiting for things to get normalize and I can resume teaching my card making class again. 

Meanwhile, I have been busy hosting the monthly online Help A Hero Club's meeting with a small group of PV Peninsula High School's students making Iris Folding cards. We hope to raise more money from the sale of these cards to make donations to Operation Gratitude soon.  We were selling the cards at the PV Peninsula Library Shop, but the library has been closed and not sure when it will be open again. 

These cards are also available at the Aloha Bungalow located at 1799 S. Catalina Ave in Redondo Beach, CA 90277. The shop owner is a PVPHS alumna. So if you live in the South Bay area, please stop by to support this cool little small business and for the good cause.

On a happier note, two of my family members and one of my ex-coworkers are all expecting their first baby in late February, June and August. So, I have been busy making these baby items. More to come!

Ta ta for now! Take care,

Connie

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.
