First, at Mystic Paper (the blog) - my favorite paper crafting store ever - really, it is such a neat store!! I'll be teaching four classes and introducing a fun ongoing theme that I hope to continue for a long time. Don't we love books? And Art? So this is "The Literary Artification Society", a book club with a creative twist. Read a book, then make a project inspired by it. I had a lot of fun creating these projects - I hope folks will want to join in. These summer classes are actually for pre-teen girls (and older - moms and sisters maybe?), so the books are youth books. For more info, go ahead and look in at Mystic's blog. There's a recent post all about it!
First class - reading accessories
Second class - Mermaid collage tote bag (The Tail of Emily Windsnap)

Third class - Princess looking glass (Princess Academy)
(I forgot to snap a picture of my project before I took it to the store,
so I have to use theirs!)

The other place that I'm teaching is called Blissful Living Studios (the blog). I'll be teaching things other than paper crafting there - sewing in all it's varieties, making jewelry, and many other creative living ideas.
These projects focus on re-purposing and recreating! I love to find a great deal at the junque shoppe and make it useful, clever, and elegant. :)
I have quite a bit going on with Blissful Living Studios and their store, Domestic Bliss. It's an absolutely gorgeous place, and I love it also. My exciting endeavor with them is really progressing...more later on that!

I know your classes will be a huge success - and so much fun!
I love your blog. I was wondering if you could put more info. about your backside bags. I would like to make these for my daughter's daisy girl scout troop and/or for party favors for her birthday. Did you line them with fabric for the inside? I appreciate any information you are willing to share. Oh, and I made your rice krispie treats just like you said. Yum! Samantha
Howdy, Samantha! Just shoot me an e-mail and I will reply with instructions. I'm so glad that you like the backside bags! :)
Have Fun!

Hey Whitney! You sound busy! I just wanted to tell you that I saw your article in the newspaper. You are quite the renaissance woman!
I wish I was in Mesa to take your classes, they sound really neat-o!
For the craft stuff, I don't really know what is popular around here. I just need to do stuff to keep me busy so I don't get homesick. I am thinking something fun and simple.
Everything really looks like great fun Whitney! I love the apron... what a clever idea. Wishing I lived much closer!
