May 8 newsletter- Guest instructor Nathalie Metivier

The Inspiration Station
May 8, 2014
Welcome to The Inspiration Station

Dear Debra,

Just a reminder that we are CLOSED this Sunday to celebrate Mother's Day with our families.  To everyone who is a mother (or mother figure), enjoy your special day!
Summer time means travel and lots of papercraft artists are hitting the road and some will be stopping at the Inspiration Station to teach classes. Mark your calendars and make plans to register early.
First up is Nathalie Metivier from Magenta Rubber Stamps! Last time she was here, the ladies persuaded (ok, begged) her to come back to teach this class!  You may need to ask for the day off from work to take it because it is a 6 hour class and due to her schedule, only available on Monday, June 9th.  Trust me, it is worth taking a day off for!




**********


Also in the same week (sorry, but that's how the schedule worked); Eileen Hull from Sizzix will be bringing her Papertrail Tour to the Inspiration Station on  Wed., June 11th.  She plans to do at least 2 classes that day, possibly 3.  We are still working out the details, but you can learn more about tour here.
