7 Things

*soapbox time* People have decided to cancel the world's functions for the indeterminate future. *so.much.facepalm*

NOT HERE. All of my events are going ahead as planned for the forseeable future. We have to have something to look forward to!

1) If you are sick in any way shape or form, do not attend my events. Stay home and treat yourself like you would for any other illness.

2) If you have concrete proof of being ill with OR in the vicinity of someone ill with a communicable illness (such as corona virus), do not attend. Stay home and treat yourself like you would for any other illness and seek medical assistance as required.

3) If you are a normal healthy and properly handwashing person, please attend. This is my job, this is how I help support my family.

4) There's no reason to be panic buying things in the shops folks. Use your common sense. Use actual soap and water for your handwashing. Use a disinfecting wipe (or spray) on doorknobs/tv remotes/computer mice/other highly used objects before you got to bed.

5)The world is not ending. We all have things we need to do and places we need to go.

6) Stop feeding the panic monster and use your common sense. */soapbox time*

With that said...

I had planned on showing these at a consultant function next week but no, that's been utterly canceled.

7) Behold, the 5 layouts I've created with These Are My People Paper Packet + Stickers and Coordinating Cardstock with some White Daisy and Kraft added for good measure.

New Toolkit

With a new ideas book chockful of new tools now out, there's a change to what's required in the toolkit for my workshops. Everyone who attends my studio for any workshop must bring their own set of tools.

Why do I require you to bring your own toolkit? It's very difficult to get any significant crafting done when many crafters are all needing to use the same tool at the same time. When everyone has their own tools to use, you can craft at your own pace and enjoy yourself!

From this moment onward, the basic required toolkit for my workshops consists of these items.

Trimmer, replacement blades, Versamat, Stamping Starter Kit, Adhesive Runner, Glue Pen, Journaling Pen, Bone Folder, and Scissors.

Other items will be required depending on the workshop. You can see what's required in each event description. Check the details and see what you need to top up your tool kit, then list these items when you make your workshop booking. It's that simple!

I encourage you to build up your toolkit so you're ready to craft at any given moment. The range of products from CTMH are quality, sturdy, and reliable. I don't craft with any other brands! Pop over to my shop today and get your toolkit started before my next lot of workshops are announced!
