Finally letting out a breathe of relief...

First I'd like to thank you lovely ladies for your kind words.  I was so stressed out about this first club party and then when I lost my voice, I thought I was going to have to cancel.  I had to put in so much work in both my house and getting all my supplies ready, I didn't want to have to cancel, by some miracle, (thanks for the prayers) I was able to use my voice.  Not normal by any means, but I was able to get out a little noise.  So what a relief!

Last night went really well.  I think the ladies all enjoyed themselves, and I learned a few things too.  I feel more and more confident on what to do next time and what works, what doesn't work.  With that being said, let me tell you how it went. 

 I had originally thought that the "shaving creme" technique would take up plenty of time, but when I could finally step back and see that everything was taken care of and I had a few minutes to breathe, I started thinking that I wanted my clients to leave here happy and feeling like they had gotten their money's worth, so of course it's 5:15 p.m. and I decide that I need to have a second card to do.   The party was set to start at 6:00   I tryed out a few things and I didn't like how any of them were turning out, so now it's 5:40 and I'm really stressing out.  Then the thought hits me, "Check out my friends blogs for ideas."  You ladies always have such cute ideas on your blogs!  SO I came across this one on whatareyouinking.blogspot.com and I had it! 


I was able to put together a card instantly and the ladies loved it.  I told them that this card was good because you can use your scraps of paper, which is exactly what I did!

Here's my card: 

Over all for my first club ever, I think it went pretty well.  I think everyone went home with their cards pleased.  That was my main goal, that they like what they were going home with.  I also gave them their own SU bags that I picked up at...for pete's sake, my mind is totally blank.  Anywho, they got their bags, and a little treat pouch that I put together.  (Thanks Dawn for the tutorial.)

DA!  CONVENTION, the SU bags I picked up at convention!

Thanks for stoppin by to take a look!  As always comments are appreciated and welcome!  Have a great weekend!

  1. Love the extra card. I am happy you had a good experience. I often think, boy, this card is hard, it's going to take forever for my class to make and then they speed right through it. Great Job!!!!!
