Thanks Ladies



A big thankyou to all the ladies who attended my first ever product launch party. I had a wonderful night and judging by all the laughing and smiles I think everybody else did too. We certainly had a full cottage of scrappers and shoppers and socialites. And I forgot to get the camera out, doh. What sort of scrapbooker/blogger am I? (please be nice when you answer that, lol).
Congratulations to Karen who won the lucky door prize (and she said she has never won anything!)
If you would like to attend the next one to scrap please call and put your name down soon as places are filling up fast.
And congratulations to Carrie for winning the challenge last month. I have got a photo of the winning layout and i will post that soon.

Sorry Jane and Kylie


I have put up a new class calendar for February because i forgot to add Jane's 'ME' classes. Woops.

And you will notice that we have some new 'technique' classes starting with Kylie. Kylie will be showing us a great new technique each week that will give our pages that extra 'WOW' factor.

The hour long classes will be fun and informative and we'll get to take something home each week. Please support Kylie by booking in to her classes each week. Check out Kylies blog to and see the cool stuff she does

"ME" Classes & "ME" Book
The highly inspirational Jane Marin, artist, photographer, healer and life coach, developed the "ME" classes in 2002.
They began as a series of classes where participants could dedicate an album entirely to themselves - something which she noticed almost never happened.
The classes have since evolved into a journey of self-discovery and healing with each participant taking from them what they wish, whether it be:-
-to record their personal history
-to experiment with a variety of art forms
-to create a journal for personal growth
-to initiate a process of healing or even
-to discover their life's purpose

Classes include a combination of art therapy, collage, journaling and scrapbooking to create a wonderfully colourful record of the participants' life, on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
"ME" classes have now been produced in book form, which includes 52 worksheets and much more, based on the "ME" Classes and is available at The Creative Artz Cottage.

If you would love to join in on a "ME" class to see what you can get out of it then give us a call to book in, the classes run each Monday at The Creative Artz Cottage.
If you would love to but can't make a Monday class or would prefer to work on your own , then pop in and grab your copy of the "ME" book.
Please go to Jane's site isisrising.com.au to find out more
