I usually don't like to teach because it stresses me out - I worry so much about every one being happy with the class. My class on Saturday went very well though which made me so happy! Every one seemed to like the project and they were all working at their own pace (I think I could have left and no one would have noticed - haha!). I love seeing the familiar faces of the women that come to most of my classes - here are some of them:
This is Lia and Gemma. They became good friends by taking classes together. Gemma came in with this amazing tree project she made for Lia - what a gift! Each little drawer for the days of Christmas pulls out with goodies inside. It was just absolutely beautiful and now I want to be good friends with Gemma too (hee hee). She is so talented!
And here are the secrets to a class going well! I had to hand deliver cookies to get them to eat them though - they were so busy working (or maybe my cookies weren't that good?!!!)...
One side of the class and the store in the background - LOVE these lamps!
Here is Wendy - very pregnant and still willing to sit for hours - such a trooper!
A few more of my regulars:
Thank you to every one who came! Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy taking pictures to fill your albums! Suzy
Your class looks like so much fun...definitely looks like it was worth the wait!
And the advil pic make me laugh!

It was so much fun... did you see my comment on the Scrapbook Oasis BLOG? I am still on the same page in the kit I was on when I left the class. The kits and color copies are so good I know I will have no problem getting finished... It is of course just finding the time this TIME of year...to finish.... Thanks Suzy.

Suzy, I enjoyed the class so much. It inspired me to do my very first Christmas album. Every page is perfect and beautiful and I can't wait to get all the Christmas photos done this year so I can finish this project. It was so nice to finally meet you in class. You're such a great and talented lady. I admire your style -- cute and fun. Like I said, I hope you can teach another class again at Oasis... maybe a Valentine's/LOVE album. Thanks for posting that photo of me and Lia. It will be remembered for always.

Advil - well, every time I have taught or taken a class, I have a terrible headache half way through it. So I brought advil just in case and thought some students might need it too. I didn't need any this time though because I never got stressed (or maybe it was because I took 2 on the way in the car to prevent the headache from coming on!). Luckily none of the students asked for any either - a good sign I think! suzy

I loved your class and the project. I needed the break to scrap also! I tried to complete the album yesterday but it is not quite finished but should be soon. Now I have to get out my other decorations!!!
Thanks again for a great class.

You ARE tall. I can tell by the angle the photos were taken from! Now I'm imagining being that tall myself... oh yeah... I've even lost a bit of gravity... and girth...
Ok! you can have your body back now... I need some of those "yummilicious" cookies!
