It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
There are so many ways to give back. But recently I found out that our local Elks Lodge in Yucca Valley does just that. They have a craft fair they hold in October every year. Well, this year is no different. But I have learned something. Not only do they host the craft fair and vendors can sell there for a fee. But non-profits are able to set up there at no charge. It’s a way for the Elks to give back to the community. This allows those in attendance to learn about the community without extra cost.
So on October 1 go see what’s happening in the community at the Elks Lodge in Yucca Valley.
And no, I won’t be vending there. I will be at the Farmers’ Market, but a member of my team will be there. Go support and see what all is happening.
It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to show you how to emboss resist and faux watercolor. And in there I will throw a bonus in on how to color with an entire clear block.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
Today I want to show you a partial coloring technique. The product is used in the normal way but not the stamps. When you stamp you have to think that the stamped image is continuing after the mat. Then you color only a portion of the picture.
This gives an incomplete picture of what is supposed to be there. Do you like this technique?
It’s Technique Tuesday! Do you know you can make your own mask or stencil?
Take a piece of Window Sheet and die cut it. You might need to run it through a few times as Window Sheet is a bit tough to cut through. You now have a mask or stencil.

So let me know where I am going and when. I look forward to what ideas you have to share with me!
Open Day
If you are working on a project, need help with the online class, want to pick up some adhesive, or just stop in to say hello please put the Open Day on your calendar.
It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.
I’ve been reading up on farmland. No, I am not moving to plant crops. But as much as farmland has been in the news I figured I should read a bit on it. I like to know enough so when things come up I can at least understand the basic vocabulary. But what does this have to do with rest? You’ll see. Keep reading.
A piece of land can be used several times before it needs to rest or lay fallow. When it lays fallow this can mean that it lies completely empty, that it’s crop is traded out for a different one, or that the soil is worked and replenished with manure and added minerals.
So how does this relate to us? If you need to rest do so. But depending on what’s coming next will be dependent on how you rest. If you are planning on doing something physical you might want to incorporate yoga, stretching, or a light workout into that rest so you stay mobile. If you have a mental challenge like a huge test then you will want to eat right, get enough sleep, move, and maybe even look over your notes.
It just depends on what is coming next as to how you rest.
