Last Monday

Last Monday night was evening Stamp club. Andi, the foot lady, and I worked together on a project for the evening. Andi practices Reflexology. It is a pressure technique that is applied to the appropriate areas of the foot to provide relaxation specific to the individual's stress level.
I designed a foot card using my own little fat foot as the template. It was pretty cute if I do say so myself. Sorry I don't have a picture of it. Two ladies went to the Healing Arts Center that is just 3 doors down from the Artfull Hand. While the rest of us worked on making the card. When those two returned then two others left. We did that until all of us had our feet worked on. It was wonderful. Everyone came back with a smile on their face.
I was worried about the evening as it started out with a big storm blowing through. But in the end we had a great turn out. So much so that I was caught short on parts for the card. That is always a happy accident.

The 3 for $3 card making sessions are being raised to a minimum of $5. A few times we will go a bit higher. The cards have been more elaborate and time consuming of late. I think you would rather pay a little more then go back to simple rubber stamping and card making.
