Have you stamped letters to add dimension? The size of the Party Alphabets Dies works well for this technique.

Copy and paste this image to start your November camera roll.

At the end of each month, I upload my cell phone pictures to my PC. It's organization time! Now is the time to decided if your pictures will be scrapbooked, archived for the future, sent to friends & family, or trashed.

I keep monthly folders on my PC to categorize the images. Have you heard of Craft Some Joy? Laura, a Creative Memories Consultant, has an excellent system with folders for pictures. It has been a life saver for me in reducing photo overload.

Do you enjoy organzing or crafting more? 🤔

Ever since I was little, I found much joy in labeling boxes my toys and closet items. The problem was that it took me so long to organizine, my bedroom was usually a mess!

Isn't it wonderful to have so many tools available for our craft supplies? Read about my organizing tips by checking out the link in my Facebook introduction under All.

Do you enjoy any hobbies besides card making? 💖 Today, I watched Pat Sloan's goodbye YouTube video, which I will link in the comments. It was a sentimental journey that made me reflect on my years as a hobbyist, educator, and entrepreneur.

My crafting background started when I was little. When we were at our cabin, I rode my bike three miles to the local dump to collect colored glass. I have no memory of where I learned how to make my "works of art," but I would crush the glass to design a faux stained-glass candle to give as gifts and sell.

Then in 7th grade, Mom taught my cousins and me how to sew sleeveless blouses. My sewing skills improved through middle school, high school, and college Home Ec. Instructors: Mrs. Quinn, Mrs. Hansen, Mrs. Gerard, and Mrs. Jensen (Proud to claim the same college instructor as Nancy Ziemen). In 1976, I taught FCS until retirement.

Some of my proudest moments are seeing former students start their own businesses! One student went to school for fashion design; another started her own upholstery shop; and an entrepreneurial student designed and sold pet collars. The list continues with child care services, gift shop owners, art show exhibitors, cleaning services, and restaurant ownership. A former student is also a children's book author. Words of praise also go to the many students who are involved in community service. Commendable. 😍

Is this a good time to mention how valuable Career and Technical Education (CTE) is to our students?

Over the years, I learned to create and construct garments, sew quilts, develop the art of stitchery, and expand my culinary skills. Another passion of mine was gardening, which ended after I fell and found this hobby physically difficult. Scrapbooking and card-making began when we purchased our home Up North. Paper crafting allowed me to meet wonderful hobbyists in the area. Lastly, after social isolation during COVID and the invention of Zoom, I participate in the virtual world of sewing and crafting with friends.

Thank you, Pat Sloan, for sharing your journey to retirement. What have your hobbies been throughout your life? I would enjoy reading your stories. Please share them in the comments.
