Motivation Mondays - 6 Weeks with Elsie Flannigan!

Monday, October 27, 2008

It's Monday.

I'm so tired after a very busy weekend. I spent most of the day Saturday working on new stuff for my shop. (None of which is fully ready to go yet). And Sunday I was up bright and early to climb the CN Tower, in support of the United Way. All I wanted to do after was go home and sleep, but I couldn't. It's my boyfriends birthday today, so we celebrated yesterday with a huge buffet dinner, followed by going to see The Roots in concert with Gymclass Heros and Estelle. An excellent day, but I am sure feeling the effects of little sleep today!

So anyways, Monday's I often do a feature here on Inspired By Hand called Motivation Mondays, and I was sure feeling the need to dig deep today to find my own motivation! So I started out like I often do, surfing around to my favourite blogs, seeing what's new with the people who inspire me. I made my way to Elsie Flannigan's blog, and was soooooo excited when I saw her post from yesterday! Elsie announced her brand new Online Course would be available for sign ups today! So, for an hour this morning I stalked Elsie's blog waiting for the official information and sign-up form, and as promised at 10am CST the details were announced and I jumped on it and snagged myself a spot in her course!!

Here are the details as described on Elsie's Blog:

This is a 6 week online class (beginning on November 10th and wrapping up just before Christmas)! I have a personal goal of making most of my Christmas gifts this year & I hope that this class will inspire some people to create handmade gifts as well!

Each week you will enjoy 5 new projects, which you can work on at your own pace. Projects come as tutorials, videos, step-by-steps and/or downloadable PDFs (whichever is most appropriate for the specific project!). All projects come with lots of photos & inspiration!

These are a few of the projects we will be creating:
-Scrapbooks (5 mini books and 1 12x12 album full of handmade embellishments!)
-Creative Photography Tutorials
-Felt Doll Patterns
-Embroidery Patterns (including a holiday set I created exclusively for this class!)
-Handmade Gifts (journals, stockings, toys & charms!)
-Holiday Decor Tutorials & Patterns
-Felt Charm Necklace & Bracelet tutorial
-Holiday Gift Wrap & Tag Tutorial.

*Each week also includes a private chat and journaling challenges!

If you are looking for something really fun and inspirational, to motivate you and your creative side, I encourage you to jump on this and take part. It's a pretty low cost for tonnes of great inspiration, tutorials, patterns and more, led by one of the most upbeat and creative people I have *met* online! Don't wait, Class is filling up fast!
