Today I decided to cultivate my Craftie Bob Pinterest Boards (http://pinterest.com/craftiebob/) Pinterest is a great tool for craftie folks, acutally its a great tool for anyone who wants to remember the wonderful things and I ideas they see online. I've had it for a couple of years now, and utilized it with a little bit of planning/orginzing in the wedding but now its time to it help me in my SU crafting life. I'm orginizing my boards into Stampin' Up! punches & stamp sets I like and have. This should help me when deciding what projects I want to demo and the make & takes I'll offer in workshop. If things go well maybe it will even inspire some to host workshops with me or try one of my card classes! It'd be a great tool to help my hostess decide on the kinds of cards they want to see done in person.
If you read this and you have a Pinterest, let me know and I'll check it out!
-Craftie Bob!
Not a very exciting post, I know. But I am trying to keep up with my craftie things online and every little post helps me with that! Even if I am the only one reading them :)

Craftie Bob's 1st Official Post
Today is 2 months sign I signed up to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and Saturday will be 2 months since I officially became one! I figure it is time I do my first Craftie Bob blog post. (oops, I was a little bit late adding this post!)
So what has Craftie Bob been up to for the last 2 months? Well I have had my 1st Open House on July 1st. I believe it went well, with about 10 people stopping by. I did my little spiel about Stampin' Up and why I have come to love it so much and then we did 2 Make & Takes: A "Pick your occasion" Patio Party card and a Patio Party Bookmark:
Also a 1st for July - My 1st Workshop, hosted by my friend Katie. We did this on July 22nd and even though we had a bit of a bumpy start with many late arrivals and a forgotten step (on my part) everything ended well. For this workshop we only did 1 Make & Take - another "Pick Your Occasion" card (they are just so versital) with the July Special Reason To Smile stamp set. We used colors from both the 2011-2013 & 2012-2014 In Colors. And here is what we got from people unleashing their creative sides:
Outside of my workshop and open house I have been busy at work trying to organize myself. I was going to add a picture of that but its not quite organized anymore (had house guest staying in the craft room.)
And of course I have been busy encouraging all my friends and family to find their creative side with me as their "creative coach!!!"
Let's hope the next 2 months go as good as the last. No scratch that, let's hope they go better! And I'll try my darnest to keep better updates too :)
