Please note: I do not have a "brick & mortar" business location. I do my crafting at home and then usually instruct at a local county rec center. One of these days, I hope to have a studio with some classroom space.
I have had a few crafting get-togethers at my home, but there just isn't much room for more than 2 additional people and myself. Crafting is very messy you know, and it's hard to work when you don't have enough space to spread out. But one of these days...
Oh well, until then, I'll dream about the ideal crafting and instruction space. Keep reading to see what I'd like to have.

Some things to consider if you've got some extra cash on-hand....
.
I think I can see it....should I go to the light?...what the heck, I'll do it. There it is...a bright sunny studio with all the space I need. How are there so many drawers and cabinets in one room?....I can see everything that's in them...everything is labeled and neatly tucked away.....all the paper, paint, ink, powders, die-cut machines, stamps, embossing folders and dies and more...more than I could ever ask for.
And the next room...this must be the classroom of my dreams? Oh, yeah, this is a dream. Anyway, it's so roomy and has all the workspace and tables I could ever desire with two huge clean-up sinks...and they both have hot water. And that glowing shelf over there...what's that?...well it looks like it has all the top brands of electronic die cutting machines! I'm gonna faint.
And what's this? Some sort of book? Let's see....oh my word...it's a coupon book, full of 50% off coupons to ANY crafting and art supply store that exists & no expiration date? This can't be real. Oh right. It's not.

Transcript from one of my crafting dreams:
Site Updated 6/8/18
It's like Santa every month!
Well, maybe.
What am I talking about?
I've just been reading and looking at video reviews and websites that offer monthly subscriptions for arts/crafts and paper-crafting supplies.
SKETCHBOOK?
CREATIVE ART BOX?
PAPER WISHES MIXED MEDIA BOX?
and many, many, more.
Could a monthly box of crafting and art supplies be good deal for you?
Check out Creative Resources & Support FACEBOOK page to see what I think.
Downloaded design from Freepik.com;one of my favorite sites for downloadable graphics to use in paper-crafting and more.
And in the same vein as arts/crafts supplies monthly subscriptions mentioned above, I was surfing the Spellbinders website and see that they have a Card Kit of the Month membership subscription. Here's a link to my Creative Resources & Support page on Facebook: where I describe this subscription in more detail.

-------------------------
Sometimes good intentions just don't work out...
For a variety of reasons, I decided to cancel the Wednesday evening classes that had previously been announced. I will have only one summer session on August 18. I had planned for an additional June or July session, but between last minute decision to schedule, miscommunication errors and the county's arbitrary decision making, I don't always have total control over what I can schedule. Sorry for any confusion.
I am thinking about using some other venues for workshops and/or having some classes at my home, but I only have space for 2 at the time. I will announce my plans once I figure out what is best and/or the interest level. I am also currently doing some practicing to do some instruction/information videos on YouTube. Stay tuned and I'll also be sending emails out to announce details.
Keep on crafting!
Nancy

This last example shows the basic shape without the card backing. This "explosion card" is basically an ORIGAMI fold and there are many other fun folding ideas to explore.
