We just finished the latest in our series of free Saturday seminars at Scrapbook Generation, with about 60 scrapbookers in attendance during the six sessions. This one was totally different in nature from most of the rest of the classes, because the topic was doodling. We used the Doodle Genie templates by Chatterbox, which are great for those artistically-challenged non-doodling people like me! With these cool tools, if you can trace and outline and color in, you can doodle! Everyone had the chance to use several templates, and tried out both doodling with colored markers and doodling with a white paint pen (our favorite one is by Sharpie). I think I've used the word doodling too much for one paragraph!

We've had a lot of holiday travelers in shopping today, and expect more on Monday, when we'll do holiday hours of 10-5.

Karin and I are very excited about the response to our fall retreats in Branson and Eureka Springs. Registration is at a much faster pace this year, so we're taking that to mean that we've done a good job on past retreats. If you want more info, just check the website for a wealth of facts, photos, and testimonials from past attendees.
