Hangout On Air Week #3

Many of you have enjoyed seeing our Hangout on Air series- “Don’t hesitate, just create!” . I have started this series by showing you projects from the Celebrate the Everyday & Sale-A-Bration Catalogs. I was asked, by several of you, if it was possible to share them here so you could see what they are all about. I am planning on continuing to bring different, exclusive, ideas through the Google Hangouts on a continuing basis, and having different guest stampers. I also plan on demonstrating projects and eventually offering interactive Hangouts with YOU!!  However, they will only be shared here for a short time.

Q- I am enjoying your Hangouts, how can I be sure not to miss any of  the Hangouts you do?

A- Just be  sure to have a Google+ account, add me to your circle of friends, and I will add you to mine. I will then invite you to

view all of our Hangouts. It’s that simple!

Here is our latest Google+ Hangout: ( I am still working out the kinks on the video quality)

Remember. If you already have a Google account, let me know and I will add you to my circle of friends & if you don’t, I urge you to join so you can receive even more projects , ideas & tips from me! I would like to thank you for watching this Google Hangout on Air and hope to include you in my circle of friends soon.

An assortment of Holiday projects

I am sharing a video that has a preview of 10 assorted holiday projects. I  learned about Google Hangouts a while ago but didn’t have time to figure it all out.. My upline asked me to participate in a Google Hangout with her and a few other side-line demonstrators. I thought I would share the video with you. I want you to remember this is our first try, but be warned, not our last!

I have been thinking of bringing classes to you through Google Hangout so I thought I would give it a try. We all are learning about this great way to share with our customers. I am posting the video here for you to watch and learn about at least 10 more holiday projects that you can make.


Here’s a look at my projects. Enjoy!
Ghiradelli treat Holder

I shared this project with all of you last week and you have loved it! Many of you have said you have enjoyed creating your own. I would love for you to send me a picture of yours and I will take a day and share them with everyone here. I will then pull a name from all those who share. The winnerr will receive a special gift from me.

You will find the video on how to make the Ghiradelli treat holder here.

You will find the Ghiradelli Treat Holder pattern here.

 
Here are pictures of the Gift Card Holders I shared:
