Simply Sudie

Teaching

 Sharing my love of crafting, scrapbooking, and photography is something I love to do.

I am able to do this at unKit from the comfort of my own home.

unKit is a place that we share scrapbooking tips and tricks.  We discuss the trends and those tried and true techniques that will always be with us.

Every 2 months we coordinate a collection of scrapbooking papers and embellishments that go together to create a big scrapbook kit.  We think of ourselves as stylists for scrapbookers.  Think Rachel Zoe, but for paper crafting. 

We also have a fun scrapbook show that is recorded live every Monday evening 9:30pm EST.  We have an interactive chat that is a big part of the show.  You really should pop by and check it out.  It is so much fun.

This Monday night we are showing banners.  We have a special guest joining us from Tombow, the adhesive people. 

And the next show is a biggie.  I am not at liberty to discuss the sensitive details as of yet.  But you will not want to miss it.

So if you love to learn, I invite you to check us out at unKit.

Learn. Laugh. Create.  with unKit and unKit Live on Sudie TV.

This summer I plan of starting a tour teaching, sharing and broadcasting at conventions and crops near you.  Details coming soon.

Through Ice And Sleet

Our weekend will come despite the icy weather.

The weather here is unseasonably frigid.  My friends just up the interstate are reporting a serious ice storm.  and Miss Kathy said on Facebook that there was snow in Gaffney!  For South Carolina, this is highly unusual.

But still, the basketball, cheerleading, and birthday parties come.   We are thoroughly enjoying this Upward season.  We are blessed with the best coaches and have made so many new friends on the team.  I love how Upward is a teaching league.  They are focused on teaching skills on the court, and sharing the Good News.  At Upward they say, "Every child is a winner."  and it's true!  A wonderful program.

Tonight we have a birthday party.  My favorite (albeit only) Sister's birthday party.  I am surprising her with a birthday cake.  Yellow butter cake with homemade creamy chocolate frosting.  I was dying to take a little taste last night, but resisted.   We are celebrating at my favorite pizza joint.  Yeah!  We are looking forward to getting together.  I can never get enough of my sister and her family. LOVE them!  

Warmest Weekend wishes!  I hope you enjoy friends and family this weekend.  Until Monday...

 

Slick

I struggle with technology.  So when I figure something out, I am full of pride. 

I found out how to record a video that shows your computer screen.  So I made a super quick and easy video for unKit that shows how easy it is to order.

I won't mention how long it took me to figure it out.  The important part is that I did.

Sudie 1.  Technology 0.

Holiday unKit <== here is the video, if you wanted to take a peek.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great weekend. 

Hello World!

I feel like I am finally back to the land of the living.

Accounting deadlines are quiet for a while.  No big business consulting clients for now.

All the kids are well and back in school, finally.

Websites for Jump Create and unKit are finished, finally.  Well, mostly.

Hopefully, other than housework and shopping for the holidays, things are on maintainence only.  Hopefully.

Maria was our last sick chick to fly the coop.  She was so excited to be back to school that she ran around in circles in the front yard before climbing into the backseat of the station wagon.  Her big fear about returning was that the kids would have missed her so much that she is going to get bum rushed when she walks into the classroom.  She wore shorts under her dress just in case.  Although Audrey and I are not sure what "just in Case" means.  Silly little bunny rabbit.

Katie and Audrey are working hard on her part of the Nutcracker with the Russian Ballet.   So proud of them.

So what is going on with you?

I am seriously thinking of teaching a class or two.  I really miss teaching.  I mostly miss my friends and students.  Send me an email so that we can catch up. 

Blessings to you and your family.

What Time Is It?

High School Musical fans can tell you what time it is.

Summertime.  Well, almost. 

This summer's schedule is getting full already.  Vacation Bible School, swim team, CHA trade show, lots of crop hostessing across the state, free class at the local library, and some top secret things too.

I cannot wait to share the details.

Thanks for the fun crop this weekend, ladies.  I look forward to our next one.

Next stop, Greenville for our Scrap, Rattle and Roll crop weekend.  I'm ready!

Home Again

So happy to be home after a wonderful CHA trip. 

We found some great new stuff.  I cannot wait for it to come into the store.  Elise, Mary and I have so much to share with everyone.  New techniques, tools, goodies, and much more.  We have big plans for special events and classes too.  It appears Elise is already back at the store hard at work and putting things on sale.   If you did not get her latest email let either her or me know and we will make sure you get one.

I am downloading pictures on Flickr and will share as soon as it is complete.

Come join me at Paperclipping Live tonight.  I am going to try to make it. ;)

Happy crafting.

Girlfriends

I was told that I *must* bring cupcakes to our class on May 20th (Tuesday) for our Yummy! Basic Grey celebration mini album.  Our class is called a Cupcake album because it is a sweet little irresistable treat.  Everybody loves cupcakes.

So, do y'all want cupcakes?    If you do, you need to let me know what kind of cupcakes you like.   

Some spots are still available, so please call to save your spot. 

This is a perfect class for a Girls Night Out;  Friends are welcome. 

In fact,  sign up with a girlfriend and get a $10.00 gift certificate for that night!   You cannot beat that for a Girls Night Out!

Call 843 884-1944 to register.  See you there!

To see more Sneak peeks of album or see the sample in the store.

Happy Teachers Appreciation day!

a big thank you to all of my teachers for the inspiration!

and a happy hello to my fellow scrapbook teachers.   Thank you for all that you do.  You make a difference.

Play date

Do you remember play dates?  My children love them.  They would have one everyday, with my permission. 

Well, there is some fun to be had for us.  and I want to share it with you. 

Fiskateers  Join the Fiskars Fiskateers for some inspiration and fun.  This is one of the best kept secrets.  a fun, close-knit group.  There is a blog, message board, and gallery.   Look on the blog for our crop on National Scrapbook day.

UnKit Social Ring  Lots of UNconvential fun with Friends of the UnKit scrapbook kit club.  You do not have to participate in the kit club to have fun.  Just a bunch of cool scrapbookers, cardmakers, and paper artists having a fun time.

A Scrapbook Store   a great local scrapbook store in Mt. P.   On Wednesdays, a group of us come hang out in the morning for coffee and conversation and occasionally we do scrapbook.  Mostly I shop, but don't tell Mr. Sudie. ;-)    Or you could take a class.  That is always fun!

So come play.  It's a date.
