I'm totally game to offer my home for a class, but it's in Phoenix, and I live in a fix-er-upper (more on the fix than up side) but there's room for 6-8 peeps come fall (my son and family are living with us now, waiting on a house to be finished, and you could even stay with us if you're game. I love Deb/Frenzy, too, so don't want to tread on that relationship ... <br /><br />ToniDesert Mermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070486873031751418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-44564943971551099122013-07-07T13:37:14.316-07:002013-07-07T13:37:14.316-07:00Kelly, this is something you might consider in the...Kelly, this is something you might consider in the future.

I ...So sad to hear about another store closing :-(<br /><br />I sure have missed your classes at The Art Bar. I was blessed to have taken a few of them and had the best time at each one.<br /><br />There is a store in San Diego, in Poway, that offers some mixed media classes. Your classes would fit in well with their store. It's called Stamping Details.<br /><br />There is also Gee Gee's Stamps N Stuff in Carlsbad.<br /><br />Another one to try is Paper Tales in San Diego<br /><br />Also I believe Jenny Doh is hosting workshops at her studio in Santa AnaSuzannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-57197325065325092472013-07-05T17:54:19.171-07:002013-07-05T17:54:19.171-07:00Kelly, I'll put together a list of shops I'...Kelly, I'll put together a list of shops I've passed along the way from NM to Maine and send it to you as soon as possible.<br /><br />However, I have no connection with any of these shops, just bought stuff from them or admired their wares.<br /><br />Starting off is NM where I did live: You might check Artisan with 3 stores.<br /><br />http://www.artisan-santafe.com/<br /><br />When I lived in Taos I know that the Santa Fe shop often gave classes.<br /><br />Big hugs,<br /><br />ZZoe, ontheroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149680542541770465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-33518491743877183222013-07-05T17:39:01.869-07:002013-07-05T17:39:01.869-07:00HUGE thanks to everyone who has stopped by today. ...HUGE thanks to everyone who has stopped by today.

Here in LA we used to have so many. Have you approached Impress Stamps in Washington? At one time the Tukwila store was the main one but that was long ago. I know the Seattle area still has some stamp - and surely many scrapbook/art - stores. They haven't won yet. Keep at it. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-2036491873615571252013-07-05T14:13:29.014-07:002013-07-05T14:13:29.014-07:00Hi Kelly, I've been meaning to write to you fo...Hi Kelly, I've been meaning to write to you for awhile. I read the blog every day and also had a terrific time with you recently in my hometown of Niles. What treat, to be with all of you in Maria's fantastic studio. Thanks to her, as well!<br />As to your "Help Needed", I wonder sometimes why the stores are closing, too. I'm sure it involves $$. You have so much experience in various venues over many years and you're willing to do what it takes-is it worthwhile to consider having a space of your own where you can leave your supplies and perhaps people can come to you?<br />I imagine you could still travel, as well.<br />I was amazed to hear that so much is closing in southern California. Maybe you will be the only game in tow soon!<br />I am glad to help you in anyway that I can.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746059440008617535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-81588860165548086052013-07-05T12:51:35.430-07:002013-07-05T12:51:35.430-07:00I 2nd the motion for Rhonda H.'s ideas.

So many closed when the big box stores came to town. And even Archiver's is in bankruptcy but they should come out of it. There is a cool store in Bloomington Il called Scrapbooking Studio.

I loved the two classes I took with you a few years ago in the Boston area and would really like to help, but I live in NC now and haven't even really settled in enough to know of any cool stores here (well, sidenote - if you're ever in the area you'd love The Scrap Exchange, and it *might* even be a good place for your classes).<br /><br />Anyhow... if there is anything else I can do - such as endorsing you on networks link LinkedIn or Klout - I would love to do what I can. You're definitely one of the very best teachers I've ever had the pleasure of working with, and an all-around awesome person, so I want to help in whatever small way I can.Betsi Goutalhttp://www.eccentricitysupplyco.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
