Workshop in Centralia with the Razzle Dazzle Divas

It was kind of a crazy day today as I continued to work at cleaning out my garage.  Since it was my quarterly trip to Centralia to do a workshop for the Razzle Dazzle Divas Red Hat group and their friends, I always try to take a load to the Goodwill at the same time.  The Goodwill in Centralia is a wonderful bunch of people who always seem to be so happy to see me unlike other Goodwills closer to home so I always try to take a load there when I go.  My husband and I have been cleaning out and sheetrocking our garage both downstairs and in the bonus room upstairs.  When we moved to Longview eight years ago, we dumped everything from our house that we had sold into the garage while we built the new house and have slowly been sorting everything that didn't get moved into the new home.  I have boxes and boxes and boxes of cardstock, paper and completed cards and am slowly making my way through them all and donating or using up what I can.  Each year I have a retired craft sale and try to sell as much as I can.  What doesn't sell gets put on eBay or gets donated to other charities.  There were two large boxes for the Goodwill as well as a TV and a computer printer.  It always feels so good to get things cleaned out and organized.

My workshop with the fun ladies of the Razzle Dazzle Divas was a hoot.  I have a perfectionist in the group and you all know what that means.  Nothing is ever right and everything has to be redone several times.  We are working on her, but she is coming along very slowly.  They seemed to enjoy the projects that I brought.  I included the Ornamental Pine with the fabric softener sheets and glitter from last month's sneak peek and it was a real hit again.  Everyone just loves that technique.  I also did the Birthday Blitz card from yesterday's class of the ship from the Traveler and the Work of Art background.  The last one is a fall card using the Wondrous Wreath that Dawn Olchefske had posted to Pinterest.  It was very simple but so cool for this time of years and the ladies loved the change from the Christmas look.  I have found so many great ideas for this stamp set.  You know you will be seeing lots of cards done with it in the next several months.  I'll post a picture of it tomorrow with the list of supplies to make it.  I have my Simply Stampin' Lunch Bunch on Tuesday so will start sneak peeking those projects for you tomorrow, too.  Tonight I am just too tired to think about it.
