Alt Online Classes + Bing

Last month I took two Alt Online Classes: DSLR 102 and Turn Your Blog Into a Brand (and Then Into a Business!). Each class was 60 minutes and completely worth the minimal $15 registration fee. The presenters were professional and shared a wealth of knowledge in an easy-going, non-confusing way.

This month I'm excited to take two more Alt Online Classes, and they are FREE thanks to Bing. #thanksbing

Last week I volunteered at Theplace2b, a safe haven for homeless and displaced youth. I took my supplies and we handmade thank-you cards for them to use. Below are some of the finished goods.

As you can see, my old "O" magazines were put to good use. I think Oprah would be proud!

Providing positive relationships with caring adults is an important part of serving with homeless youth. Volunteer during after school hours and provide a positive and caring adult presence!

On Saturday, I will have a select number of cards printed on Smart White from French Paper Co. in Niles, Michigan. French Paper uses 100% green, reusable hydroelectric energy to produce their paper. Also, when you print on French Paper you get to use CSA Images for free!

Thanks to French Paper Co. and CSA Images!

New Items for Handmade City

Custom hand painted initial bags will be available to order at the Handmade City Craft Show on December 4th. Choose the initial and style (Plain, Knitting or Books) and I will have them painted and ready for Christmas!

A little bit smaller than the re-useable grocery sacks, these bags are the perfect size for carrying books, magazines or knitting supplies. I use mine to carry my office shoes to work in the winter when I'm wearing my much needed snow boots. Put another Handmade City item inside and give the ultimate custom, handmade gift!

Two framed Heart Map pieces will also be for sale at the show. One features Quad City Area hearts and the other has Chicagoland hearts. Come early if you would like to purchase one of these!
