TODAY I can finally announce that I will be traveling to South Africa in 2013 to teach workshops. Pinch me... this is a HUGE bucket list wish for me.
I could not be more excited to be asked to attend this life changing event.
SA Scrapbook Convention is a premier scrapbook convention and is the largest of its kind on the African continent. The scrapbook enthusiasts come from all of South Africa: Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Nelspruit, Polokwane, East London and Port Elizabeth to name but a few. Many too, travel from surrounding countries namely Swaziland, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and even as far a field as the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil and Europe.
It has taken me a long time to finally be able to make it to this wonderful event. I have tried to work this amazing event into my schedule for some time. I had patience and waited for the right time. So 2013- my heart is full of gratitude and sincere joy to be ableto visit this beautiful country and people. This is going to be amazing! Thank you Glenda for inviting me and not giving up on me coming. I am truly honored.

Now are more videos to watch if you want to learn how to truly use the TC Stampmaker. If you want to make your own stamps and want to learn how these videos will help you. I have to say I am really thankful for talented crafters like Tonya Gibbs. She was in my workshop this weekend at She Scrapbooks. She mentioned she had done some video tutorials with the TC Stampmaker. I quickly realized "who" she was and how we were amazed at her great videos. So I wanted to share them with you.
Here is the link to Tonya's blog review and the videos are listed as well. I really enjoyed spending time with her at She Scrapbooks.
