It’s time to start thinking about the holiday season! My Big Picture Scrapbooking “Giving Well 2008 (still in 2 hours or less)” workshop starts today and there is still time to sign up. Here’s a sneak peek of one of the projects:
Every other day you’ll get 14 days worth of handcrafted gift ideas that can be created in two hours or less. It’s designed to help you get ready for the holidays but the ideas can be used all year long for any gift-giving need you have. Plus, you get all kinds of artwork that I designed especially for each project.
If you’ve never taken a BPS class before here’s a few tips. When the class starts, downloadable audio files and handouts become available for you to print out. You can work on the projects any time you want – you don’t have to “login” at a certain class time. Along with tons of “stuff” to do, each class also has its own message board and gallery for sharing. Come join me!
In honor of the workshop I have a giveaway today. Post a comment here about your approach to “Giving Well” or if you are already signed up then let us know what you love so far or why you took the workshop. I’ll send one lucky winner a package of two of the products I use in the workshop: Paper Trunk Chipwheel and Piggy Tales Slide Book. (comments close at 9 pm on Friday, October 10)
Enjoy!
Paper Trunk Chipwheel
Piggy Tales Slide Book (Giving Well project will look different than this cute example they have on their website)
I am taking the class again this year. Loved last year’s class, and your year long class is on my birthday wish list. I am so looking forward to all you have to share this year!
Hi Kolette –
I am already registered and so excited about Giving Well 2008! I loved listening to your audio message this morning – so true what you say about personalization and connecting. Can’t wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!
Hi Kolette, I am taking your class and very excited about it!! This is my first time.
This is the first I have heard of Giving Well and I am quite intrigued with it all. I like the idea of giving homemade gift items so much more than purchasing things. From what I can see, the projects are quality and beautiful too. I’m happy to have stumbled across your site and I’m going to subscribe to your newsletter now. Thanks for having the workshop giveaway. I’m excited to learn about all of this.
I am doing this class because my goal is to give my loved ones, gift from my heart, to personalize it to each person to let them know how much I care. Looking forward to this class and wishing I would have taken last years class!
Thanks!
For as long as I can remember, I’ve made most of my Christmas, birthday & Mother’s day gifts, for my family & close friends. I look forward to getting some new ideas.
This is my first class & I am UBER excited!
The first project out there is right up my alley with buckets & baskets filled with goodies! I will actually be gathering items & baking goodies for a friend that is still recovering from Hurricane Ike for this weekend while they continue their cleanup
Can’t wait for more projects ~ yeah~!
Jenn
I decided to take your class after being in your class at creative escape. I loved the “good book” we created in class, and couldn’t wait for the “giving well” class to start. I too, am asking for your year long class for my birthday! Thanks for all the inspiration you are providing to me!
Hi Kolette: This is my first online class and I’m so excited! Can’t wait to see all the great ideas. I’m always looking to try to make as many gifts as possible all year round, and especially this year.
I loved last years class, and still hoping to come up with funds for this years.
I always give handmade neighbor gifts, and the personalization of each makes them special.
thanks for a chance to win
I’m already signed up for your class and really looking forward to seeing all your great ideas. I signed up because I’m trying to make gift giving more personal and less commercial in my family. With the craziness of the holidays coming up, we all tend get wrapped up in just ‘checking it off the list’ without much thought and feeling into the gift itself. I’d love some ideas to steer away from that! Thanks!
Hi Kolette- I took your Good Book class at CE (and I am still caught up in it!) and that made me think I would like Giving Well. I can’t wait to see all of the ideas- I love to give unique gifts. Hoping for lots of good ideas-
Andrea
I’m taking the class as well – and loving it already! One thing I always think of when I think about “giving well” is wrapping paper! I love giving a package thoughtfully wrapped. Even if it’s a small gift, choosing packaging that reflects the personality of the receiver makes a huge difference!
I signed up today and am SO glad I did! I love your style, approach and all the amazing artwork you design for us and have taken your past classes at BPS, so I knew it was going to be good before it started!
Hi Kolette. I’m taking the class and am so excited to have all these quick gift ideas. Every year I come up with handmande gifts ideas and every year they take so long to make that I end up making just one or two and buying all the rest. with your help I hope to make them all this year.
I have loved *bps* and all the content-rich and thoughtful classes I have taken this past year. I signed up today for your class and with reading and listening to your fun message I am super excited. You sound adorable. I am one of those “want to do something great” and then procrastinate and end up giving something that I am usually not super thrilled with. My fav gifts are always the handmade ones…I am a sucker for those…love to give them, love to get them. I am excited to see what you come up with and how it sparks my creativity for my own family & friends! Yes!
I am taking your class for the first time. I seem to give the same thing every year and needed some new creative ideas. Everyone will be surprised this year…in theory! Hopefully I’ll actually get some new things accomplished!
Kari D.
Hi! I was in your class at CE, the one with the baby shower!
I wish the class had been longer because it was by far my favorite! I am faithfully keeping up with my Good Book and can’t wait to learn more about this!
Hugs to you!
Jennifer L.
I’m in the class and was eagerly awaiting the first day of school… and I was more than thrilled with our first project! I’ve already done some preliminary Christmas shopping – little things for some close friends, but had no idea how I was going to tie these items together to make the gift look like more than just a jumble of “stuff”. So your very first project gave me the answer! And got my brain buzzing with tons of ideas for “favorites” that I could add – if I didn’t get any of the rest of the downloads, I would say this class was money well spent because I could do this years gift-giving with just this one idea! Still – can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next!
I took Giving Well last year and really enjoyed. It helped me look at a few things in a very different way and realize what a great gift something simple like a bunch of handmade gift tags could be for those in the office or for Secret Santa gifts. I really think as a whole we can all benefit from realizing that expensive isn’t better – it just costs more!!
Giving Well to me means the ability to give from the bottom of your heart. I already love your approach to the first project giving a basket full of things that are important to you that you would like to share with a friend. I am already planning on using this idea for a friend getting married in a few weeks. Instead, I will use it as “secrets of a good marriage” Thanks for looking at the holidays for a time to GIVE instead of a time to BUY!!! Can’t wait to see what else you have in store!
Please…please…send me a chipwheel…
No…I am kidding. Love to be in your class again Kolette.
And I need this class. I am not much for giving presents ….for Christmas that is. So I hope your class will get me in the mood for some giving.
Okay. I am very exited about what you are sharing in the weeks to come.
-elin-
Hi Kolette, I took your class last year and am in this years class too. I really got great feedback from the gifts I gave last year. I am really excited about this class. Thanks for teaching it again.
I’m taking the class because one can never have too many ideas for gift giving … and because I love to give handmade items I need a lot of ideas!
Some of the best reactions to the things I give come from the hand made ones!
I loved this class last year. I’m so excited to get started again!
Kolette….I haven’t signed up yet for this year’s clas…but did take last year’s and loved it!
With money being tight this year, we are trying to make a lot of our gifts.
Somehow, to me anyway, homemade gifts are so much more special than gifts bought at the store.
Thank you for the fun giveaway!
Julie
I have not registered but reading all the comments, it appears I need to head on over to BPS and sign up. I do give handmade things to teachers, neighbors, friends each year at Christmas and other times. (Last Christmas I gave out 75 candy boxes with the stamped nugget wrappers). Loved your class at CE. I finally finished the Good Book and even decorated the extra pages in it. I am starting on the journaling in January. Thanks for creating. Cindy
I signed up for another year of the class because I am still getting positive comments on the gifts I created in the class last year. Not to mention that I used the ideas throughout the year for birthdays and anniversaries. Besides, it is fun to say I took a class with the person who created those super cute stamps in the $1 bin at Michaels – most of which I bought. Thanks for offering this class again in the midst of your miracle. ~ Dee Dee
Hi Kolette! I just registered for Giving Well today…I am so in the mood to get ready for the holidays! To me, “Giving Well” means thinking about the recipient’s personality and truly picking/finding/making something they will love! I am excited to customize gifts for my family and friends this year and truly “give well”! Love the first project and am excited to get the next idea in only 2 more days!!!
Oh–so glad I checked your blog today. I’d forgotten today was the day to sign up for the class.
As for Giving Well, I think this class will help me feel more love in my gift-giving rather than giving something just to give. Does that make sense? Sometimes gifts don’t seem to have much meaning and I really want to change that with my gift-giving, so the recipients know that the gift came from my heart, and know how much I cherish them.
Kolette- I loved Giving Well last year and look forward to every other day with a present in my email! Thanks for sharing your wonderful creativity with us. I love your idea of sharing ourselves in today’s gift idea- a true gift comes from our hearts- great start to a great class!
I am an ‘07 alum also…LOVED the class last year and can’t wait to see all 14 projects you have created for us! My favorite thing about this class is the big variety of ideas – there’s something for everyone, from children to adults (even men!).
Howdy from St. Louis! I am super excited to be taking this class, a first for me. I signed up because I wanted to be able to give more gifts this year to family and friends….and have them be more meaningful in addition, hopefully, more cherished than a store bought gift.
On a side note, I have tons of stuff just waiting to be used up!!!
I loved last year’s class. And would love to be in this year’s class. I was so happy to see you get into blogging. Thanks.
I always give some handmade gift each year and need new ideas. I am tired of the same old stuff.
Susan
I am super excited about this being a personalized approach to gift giving. Already the first project, giving the gift of what we love to someone else, adds such a deeper meaning. Love it.
I’m signed up and I love today’s project, a great way to give a little of yourself – so personal! I did something similar in a swap last year and never thought to do it for those closest to me! Uh, helloooo! LOL! Anyway, I am looking forward to another great year of creative handmade gifts that I can share with my family and friends!
I love giving homemade gifts–with lots of thought and special touches. This class sounds great!
I’m signed up already for your class too! I’m excited about some new “fresh” ideas on homemade gifts.
Kirstin
Hi Kolette and Jason – I am totally excited about this class – I need to slow down and take some time to relax – and give gifts that mean something more than a gift card does…
Thanks for the opportunity and fab ideas!
I took the class because I’m always the one rushing around at the last minute trying to come up with the ‘perfect’ gift. I’d love to have a stash of ideas & projects adaptable to different people. I can’t wait to start this class!
I participated in Giving Well last year and loved it! I am so happy to be back for more ideas and inspiration for 2008! Thanks Kolette!
I’m really looking forward to this class because I’m always looking for new ideas and things to make. It sounds like the projects are going to be very unique and full of special touches!
Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us!
I took Giving Well last year, and loved it. Unfortuntately, this year — after searching for a job for the last 6 months, I have to take a pass at taking the class due to finances. I look forward to next years though, ’cause I KNOW I will be blessed with a job by then!
Hi Kolette,
Lately, I have gotten out of the habit of creating gifts for the holidays. I say i am going to…but then get caught up in it too late to actually accomplish something. I am hoping your class will give me the jumpstart I need!
Love,
Dancingly, Denise (from Maine)

I also took the class last year and loved it! We were saving to move out to Nova Scotia last year form UK so were on a budget and through the class I was able to make a little go a long way. My family loved their gifts especially my son who was serving in Afghanistan and loved the album idea I included lots of family pictures so he had us with him even though he was miles away. This year he will be out there again and I’m looking forward to seeing what special suprises you have in store that I can make for him!
I love the idea of an entirely “homemade” Christmas. It isn’t truly possible with 4 children but I have made great strides in reducing the amount of actual gifts I buy. We are so blessed that we don’t need much!
When I think of giving well, I think of something that is undeniably personal and given with love. One example is that I am so excited for a gift for my niece this Christmas that i can hardly wait, I have found something sooooo her – special handmade knitting needles. Now i just need to decide how to package them.
I am taking the class and excited to learn so many ideas
Giving from the heart is such a gift to the giver as well as the receiver, especially when the gift received by the heart of the recipient!
I loved your class last year Kolette but hardly had enough time to make some of the fun projects. My family was so jealous of the the great card box I made for Christmas cards, and it made me realize I hadn’t made them something special for a long time. I love giving my family some fun memory on the holidays. We don’t spend much money on each other, but since I already have so many supplies, your gift ideas have been perfect, and very reasonable.
I need to take this class to get a jump on gift making because I always wait until the last minute and then nothing special or handmade gets done in time. But generally when I think of giving well, I think of something that makes me think of that person or something I know they love.
To me giving well is giving something from the heart. I know that every handmade gift I have ever given has been appreciated by the recipient because I have seen it. I can’t wait to get going on all of these wonderful ideas you have waiting for us!
Hi Kollette,
SO excited about this class. LOVE the first project already looking forward to number 2.
I decided to take this class because every year I exchange gifts at Christmas time with a group that a friend put together called “Pink Christmas”. The idea is that you make something for your girlfriend that would be meaningful to her. I wanted to have lots of good ideas to choose from, and I also wanted to be able to use these gift ideas for other friends, family and my children’s teachers. I am really excited about this class, and I’ve already got a great idea for the first project. Thanks for doing this Kolette!
Hi Kollette,
SO excited about this class. LOVE the first project already looking forward to number 2. I forgot to add WHY I love this class. You know, you can only give so many scrpabook projects to your family before they start rolling thier eyes. These gifts will be so personalized that they will LOVE them and they will truly appreciate the gift and the time and love that went into it. At least that is my hope and prayer.
Hugs,
This year is the second year I am making handmade gifts for the holidays. Last year I made Christmas Ornaments and this year I have moved on to “real” gifts – an altered photo wall hanging and an altered calendar. I would love to have some quick ideas to incorporate into Teacher gifts. I love to see the look on the recipients face when I have chosen the “perfect” gift for them. Makes me happy that I have paid enough attention to choose a great gift.
Hi Kolette…I just signed up and I am very excited to take this workshop. I love the idea of giving meaningful gifts instead of frenzied shopping and just buying a gift so you have one to give. To be able to make them is the pudding on the cake. I also love to be starting now, that takes the stress out of the season…Looking forward to meeting new friends and getting fresh new ideas. Thanks for providing this class…….Suzi
The best gifts are the ones that I have made with the person in mind- knowing what they would like. It is easier to be creative with that in mind.
My idea of “Giving Well” is making the gift personal. It is so easy these days to go out and buy gift cards for the people on our shopping lists. When I give gift cards I still try to make a small handmade box or funky envelope for the card to slip into just to show that I was truly thinking of them even though I took the easy way out and bought a piece of plastic.
The person I have “Given Well” to the most is my MIL… she already has “everything”, and our children are her only Grandchildren, so guess what she loves? Right! Mini-albums of those precious kids and her with the kids, a Holiday album of all our times together, a mini Easter album etc. ~you get the idea! I’m always loving new product, and anything you use must be COOL! Thanks for the chance to win!
The class looks fabulous! I need to see if it fits into my budget and calendar!
Jennie
I don’t know if I can wait until Sat. for the second class! I’m going to be on a scrapbook high for the next month!
I loved last year’s class! I am so thrilled that you have all new projects for us this year. Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity!
I just checked out todays project and I LOVE it, I’ve already decided who I am going to do it for. I would also LOVE to win the two products. I’ve been searching high and low here and can’t find them and they are on backorder online, so you would be a lifesaver. Thanks for putting together a wonderful online class to help us be more thoughful and excellent gift givers!
I am not taking your class unfortunately, only because school has me entirely too busy… but i try and give well when I make gifts for our families. I try and create something memorable and special for each person.
Thanks so much and I hope you are feeling great!
What I like best about giving well is that it is possible to give something from ME that is valuable to the person I am giving it to in a way beyond money.
I’m taking the class and am so excited about it! It’s absolutely fun, girls! I love the first idea – great not only for a present, but for the way we living.
Three handmade gifts I gave this year were the receivers’–and I quote–”best present they’d ever received”! I’ve decided homemade is the way to go and hope to repeat my success for Christmas and throughout the coming year. Homemade gifts are made with much love and happy thoughts of the receivers. I believe the love that is put into the gift is felt on the receiving end also. Thanks for the opportunity to win a free class. I would love to be on this receiving end!
This is my first time taking the Giving Well class. I LOVE the idea of giving homemade gifts but sometimes struggle to come up with some creative ideas. Or I come up with these great ideas, and the projects take a long time to do so Im always running around at the last minute trying to finish everything.
I also am taking the class because this year, our family is looking to have a smaller Christmas. Both my hubby’s family and my family are doing gift exchanges this year, with the only exception being homemade gifts. So I would really like to come up with some fun, meaningful homemade gifts for family and friends this year.
Oh this class looks like a winner!!!
I LOVE making & giving handmade gifts and seeing them appreciated is my reward!
Hi Kolette and Jason, so happy to be back for another round of Giving Well. What I truly love is that all your ideas can be adapted for the whole year, you guys ROCK! Sue
Your class sounds really cool. I love BPS…big BPS addict here. I really love when you find a great gift, that is a perfect match for the person receiving it. No matter how big or small, or how much (or little) it cost, that is Giving Well.
I’m looking forward to all the fun ideas to help use up some of my stash in other ways than just pages and cards. I have a couple of groups where we all exchange gifts at Christmas, so I need some quick and easy things to make. Thanks so much!
I love giving presents and I believe I will LOVE your class. I hate not giving someone the perfect gift for them and their personality-not just something out of obligation that they will never use again. So, I have a little notebook that I keep with a person’s name on the top of each page. I mean everyone-family, friends, people at work, people down the street. As I think of the perfect gift idea for them, I write it down and cross it off if i get it. Then at birthdays and Christmas etc. I just open my book and get the perfect idea for them.
To me gift giving must always come from the heart. Even when it a random gift or gift exchange that I do not knoe the recipent I would still give it a lot of thought and add some personal touch like adding a hand made card, tag or giving the packaging a personal touch.
I am signing up for this class RIGHT NOW!!!! I love all the classes at BPS. Plus I need some fabulous ideas for handmade gifts for this holiday season! AND Kolette’s classes are wonderful!!!
So my answer to the question is that I love to make something special for the person I am giving the gift to and really put thought and creativity into it.
I’m registered and have just been reading all the stories &ideas everyone is sharing – lots of good ideas!
I am so excited! This is my first BPS class and I am so glad it is. I love giving gifts but I want something different and unexpected from what I usually do. My philosophy for giving is give what they want, pay attention to what they say or seem drawn to. Now I want more for the people I give to and I know this class is gonna help.
I love this class already, Kolette. I have so many fond memories of my youth when almost everything at Christmas was handmade – people just couldn’t afford “store bought”. I want to get back to the basics – showing my love for family and friends by sharing me – my time and my talents. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
I’m in your class and very exciting about what is yet to come. I love giving handmade gifts and new ideas of how to make them personal are greatly appreciated.
I am so happy to be able to take this year’s class (loved the one last year!!). I can’t wait to see what you have planned for us this time…
I joined this class because I wanted to save money (just moved into my own house), utalising some of the craft supplies I already had, while making a individual and special present for people. Am hoping that everyone will like them and know they have been created with love.
For me, gift giving is about the wonder of it all, the “Santa Clause” in all of us. I never expect return gifts, but enjoy the act of giving and making others happy. The selflessness of the season it what inspires me to give to others.
I have signed up for your class – actually my first BPS class! – and was thrilled with the first project yesterday. I am looking forward to all the other ideas to create and share as gifts.
the past two years I haven’t done much in the way of handmade gift giving and really miss it. this will certainly get me back into the groove! I am excited to be creative and be able to give thoughtful, “labor of love” gifts again.
Kolette, I really loved the ideas you and your husband presented in your Becoming More class. THAT was my kind of scrapbooking! I am truly looking forward to your Giving Well Class. My family has for a long time had a theme of “something made or recycled” I am amazed yearly at the creativity of everyone in my family. This class will give me ideas to continue this tradition and extend it into other gift giving opportunities. Thanks!!
With the economy in such a mess, the idea of homemade gifts is even better! I have my gift list ready to check off as I make your projects.
Hi! Hope you are feeling well today. I love giving homemade cards in decorated boxes. Only problem? No one will send them….
Would love some ideas for homemade gifts that will actually be used! Thanks!
Monica Brown
I’m taking your class, and am looking forward to getting myself in the groove for the holidays while I still have the time to complete my gifts.
I am so crazy busy with work at this time of year, that I have to try hard to schedule in the handmade gifts. One I do every year: a recipe book, which I traditionally give to our teachers, neighbors, etc. This year I am also thinking of giving environmentally friendly cleaning products (dressed up pretty containers, of course!). A giveaway would sure hit the spot!
I love the concept of this class. This year I’d like to focus on giving less materialistic “things,” like patience, smiles, time with my kids, etc. For a few years I’ve been meaning to make an activity advent calendar, so that we’re creating great memories all month long, not just running around buying and wrapping gifts. But old habits die hard…
Hi Kolette…all signed up for the class, and have been anxiously awaiting your wonderful ideas! I want this holiday season to be a bit more “meaningful” to those I love and appreciate, so I decided to make gifts this year. Your class will help me do just that! Thanks for your creativity and wonderful words!
My best to you!
I am all ready signed up and loved the project you presented yesterday – so full of thought and meaning. I can’t wait for tomorrow. All of you that haven’t signed up need to quickly. You won’t be disappointed. I love the Big Picture Scrapbooking classes!
I am so looking forward to this class! I took the class last year and it really made a difference in my gift giving, especially for the people who really do have everything.
This class is so cool! I am looking forward to each project. You are so thoughtful to give away some of the supplies needed for this class. I am working on the first project today. The joy you get from creating for others can’t be beat!
I am already in this class and I am loving it! I wish it was day 2 already! I am so excited about the different ideas and already, Day 1’s is the perfect thing to get me motivated for the holiday season. Thanks for sharing your fun ideas!
Ginger
I had put off signing up for this class, and just realized that it started! I need to head on over there and check out the Supply List, etc. Thanks for the reminder, AND the chance to win some goodies! As for the meaning of giving well — I think it’s a matter of not just putting thought as to the gift recipient but also thinking about the long-term value of the gift as well as the eco-impact of the gift. I’m tired of giving gifts that get thrown away after a few uses. I want to give gifts that will be savored, thoroughly enjoyed, and will have positive (rather than negative) impact on the environment.
Giving well would be to me getting somthing that says you know that person, you were listening and you care. It can be personal (like a scrapbooked item), practical (something they collect or enjoy) or funny (a mug from a Favorite show with a funny quote). It is knowing the person and looking for that perfect gift.
I love giving my friends and family small gifts just to brighten their day, whether it’s just a little chocolate in a cute container or a meaningful scrapbook album that tells them I much I love them. Making the gifts, benefits both the recipient and myself – they receive a little something and I receive the joy in being creative. I’m looking forward to all the projects you are going to inspire us to create!
What a great class!! I always need ideas for Christmas gifts. And, I am fairly new to scrapbooking, so this class would be SO helpful for me!
I loved your Giving Well class last year!! There is nothing like giving something that is from the heart and so meaningful instead of rushing through the Christmas season and handing someone you love something you bought at the last minute (along with the gift receipt!) I love all your classes; they have meant a lot to me and have helped me get over many very difficult situations; for that I am blessed and very grateful – Thank you!
I would love to win, I am signed u p for the class and can’t find the supplies listed.
Giving Well to me means less is more, but each gift is special, unique, and personalized. I am very interested in your class – it sounds great.
I am all signed up and looking forward to getting inspired to
create some really fun gifts this Christmas season and for birthdays next year.
I think even more important will be the feeling of giving with love.
Thanks for doing this class again this year.
Love the class again as usual – you are an inspiration for gifting! ~Monda
I just signed up for your Giving Well 2008 and I Life Well Crafted (full version). I am so looking forward to both!
I took the Art of Becoming More, and am excited to take Giving Well. I love the first project- I’m looking for the pattern for that bag as we speak! I’d love to get the supplies!
Giving well means giving of yourself in the process! So excited about joining in!
I haven’t registered for the class yet, but it sounds great! I love giving stuff from me, things I have made for that certain person!
Due to low funds I wasn’t able to sign up for this class but I did take your class last year. I loved all the ideas you had and plan to use them for some gifts this holiday season.
I think giving well is putting a lot of thought into what the other person will appreciate.
I am so excited about this class! Every year, I think that THIS will be the year to show those I love just how much I care through thoughtful gifts and notes. AND every year, I fail miserably by simply running out of time and/ or creative energy. This year I have made the commitment to make it THE year! I have signed up for your class and made the commitment to spend time developing and working on those special items. I have always wanted to “give well” and now I feel like like I just might do it!
I would love to take this class! With things getting so tight as mentioned above, it would be wonderful to have some great ideas ready to go for gift giving. I love to give something from the heart, that is well thought out and means something to the recipient. Maybe another time! Have fun.
I am signed up and I can’t wait to see all of the projects. I was excited to see on the message board that alot of the people took your class last year and came back for more. It must be good!!!!
Hi Kolette,
I am so excited for this class. I took last year’s and I was amazed at the projects. Thank you for the wonderful ideas!
I just signed up–this is my first class here. I think your first project is great, and am excited for more!
Wow! I am so excited about this class. I listened to the welcome audio and am very inspired. I love your outlook and attitude. Lately I have been feeling very reflective and feel that I need to add more meaning in my life. Part of that includes caring for others that support me in my life during both good and bad. That is the reason I wanted to take this class. It seemed to be one of the answers I was looking for to dig deeper. Thank you. I plan on getting all I can out of this class.
Kolette, What a great class. Your first project inspired me to give a gift basket to a colleague who has just separated from her husband and has a four year old child with special needs. Id like to provide some TLC and this is just the ticket. Thanks, Jackie
Whew! Barely under the deadline. Love Kolette and her projects!!!
I love to make my Christmas gifts – the things i have made for friends over the years I know have been treasured far more than anything i could ever have bought for them. I’m already been inspired by you Kolette and have this morning gone and ordered personalised mini tags for all of those i want to make for. I also did a whole load of mini “i owe you” tokens too – and will slip these into the various presents that i make. Thanks so much – can’t wait for the rest of the class
Suzanne
I am loving this class so far. I can’t wait to see all the projects. I am really excited about adding a personal touch to Christmas this year!! Thanks for all the time you have put into this class.
I love that these are such thoughtful and that they are from someone in the field I know does only top notch classes.

I love that these are such thoughtful gifts and that they are from someone in the field I know does only top notch classes.
Thanks Kolette!

I have a large family (6 older sisiters all married with kids) so giving gifts has always been a trick. I am the youngest and since I was in High school we made a rule that they had to be hand made. Now we pretty much just do hand made family gifts but I am in need of some fresh new ideas so I am thrilled with this calss.Thank you Kolette!
