Yep, yesterday I drove to Midlothian and took the Certified Fiskateer Demonstrator training from Wendy Jo!

Can I tell you I had NEVER been to a crop, so you know what I brought with me? My camera.

Yep, I took NOTHING to scrap but I had an AWESOME time.

I got to hang out in a room filled with some of the MOST amazing women I have ever had the honor to meet.

PLUS I got to learn all about Fiska-tools I have owned but barely ever used!

I brought home tons of goodies and today I am gonna clean the school/craft room and start making use of my new favorite toys!

I'm so jealous. I wanted to come down to that crop but date night was the same day. Can't wait to see your pages and be invited to one of your demo's.

Congrats. Glad you had some fiska-fun.

Ladies let me tell you I have been cleaning like mad since I came home and have had no time to craft.

As I purged rooms this summer our "garage sale" stuff found its way into the school/craft room (remember our garage floods) for the sale that will never be. I had grand schemes of actually having a garage sale. Seeing that October is approaching RAPIDLY I don't think it will happen this year so I am packing up and taking stuff to the local thrift stores.

I never realized how much stuff we had!

The "baby" is 2 do I need to keep all his clothes? No.

Homeschool books abound, but I have determined that the library needs them more than I do, and if I ever need them I will know where to find them! So if they are not part of the curriculum, they are OUT.

Same for clothes I hoped to one day fit back into, when I get back into a 12 I will deserve NEW clothes!

I am not even going to waste time with eBay, I figure the good Lord will bless me in other ways besides money, not to mention that tends to be an excuse to hang on to stuff!

SO by the end of October you should see pictures of my CLEAN and craft ready workspace!

Hobby I am hosting a Crop on Oct 23-24 you can come spend the night w/ me if you can stand a 3 ring circus!
