I think it would be fun, not only to learn something but just to hang out with you. You have such a great outlook on life - maybe some of that would rub off on me! Go for it girl!

Let me tell you my story (I promise to keep it short!LOL!).... I, like you, hate failure! So I started this stamping/blog thing in September last year. I applied for several design teams without luck, so this was the next best thing. I got into the swing of things in the bloggin' world....then my LSS had a sudden opening. The girl who left did alot of classes/projects. I thought - WOW!! Work and do what I love (day job is BORING ACCOUNTING!!- just to add the drama effect). So I'm available 2 nights and Saturdays - great! Just the amount of time I have available in my life. I did ponder it awhile, asked DH (who doesn't REALLY understand), but not too long. Then when I got my "feet wet" at the store, I said, "Hmmmm, I think I'll try doing a class!" Me- right! I was encouraged by the gals there and so I did it! I was definitely nervous! It went off without a hitch, well, maybe a small one, but learning is part of life - right? I love doing it and am glad I took the plunge! I don't have nearly as much talent as you do and I know you will hit the ground running. I wish you courage - It will be GREAT, you'll see!!! I wish I lived there because I would take every class you had! **HUGGS** GOOD LUCK!! Girlfriend, are you kidding???

Definitely GO FOR IT!! Doing something that you LOVE....AND getting paid for it...what could be better?!! The owner will do the advertising...how well are her classes typically attended? Be sure to hang a flier advertising your next class and maybe have the shop owner make a bunch of copies to insert in all bags with purchases. Can't hurt! You may begin with a small following, but with your enthusiasm, knowledge, and creativity, your classes are sure to be sold out in no time! Sadly, I don't live close enough to consider coming, but I'd be there in a heartbeat if I did!! I envy those that live close enough to attend!! ...and what would I like to learn? Anything! But why not begin with birthday cards, thank you cards, or occasion cards? Barbara Silly, you’re certain to be a success! Definitely GO FOR IT!!

My local (110 miles away round trip) SS is asking me to give a class. I gave one class there once a couple of years ago. This is a new owver and very nice. Since I work full-time and live so far away I was rather reluctant to give up my weekend time with my hubby. But I caved. Wish me luck. My fear is that no one will be interested and I will have to cancel the class!LOL! May 10th for my first one. She wants me to teach whenevre I can. Good Luck with yours! You do such fabulous work I'm sure it will be great! I am faced with the same dilemma. My local (110 miles away round trip) SS is asking me to give a class.
