-And by "experience" I mean MY experience...
-Overall it's been fun, however here are a few lessons learned (so far)...
-Girls take 1/3 the amount of time (if that) to complete a project than a grown woman (me) would.
-All 3 projects I planned FOR THE WEEK were done in 2 days by most of the girls.
-Girls like the look of writing with a black Sharpie marker IN their mini-albums, right ON TOP of
bright patterned paper, as opposed to using the COORDINATING letter stickers provided in their kit. Who knew?
-Each girl needs to have at least TEN tape runners...holy macaroni, people...what's the deal...I told them to each have at least 3...SOOOO not enough!!
-I have lost count of the number of adhesive tape runners that have "broken" or "malfunctioned" so far this week.
-Glue sticks suck...even if they are just "back up" adhesive.
-Do I provide adhesive next year & work it into the cost? It would eliminate the 73 different types of tape runners in the room. :)
-I have added a 3x3 mini chipboard album to the projects for the week.
-I also added a "door hanger" (on chipboard) project.
-Most girls finished these last two projects today.
-A couple girls even did 2 cards today.
-Of course, these creations are not bound for the pages of any scrapbooking publications.
-I'm not terribly excited about Thursday/Friday.
-Someone suggested I take in my stamping stuff...I am pretty sure I will have to resort to that. Meh!
-I refuse to BUY anymore product...I already bought a pack of white cardstock for additional cards.
-Yesterday I went thru my ENTIRE stash and took in ALL the papers I have had for WAY TOO LONG and know I will not use.
-My mom is doing the same for me tonight and I will pick up her stash tomorrow morning before scrap camp.
-I have one girl who, shall I say, does not seem to have any excel in the 'social-skills' area and that seems to be with kids OR adults..so that's been (not so) fun. The second she is done w/something, she is pretty much attacking me asking what is next...doesn't matter that I'm busy helping 3 other girls either. *sigh* Practicing my "patience" skills. :)
-3 hours per day is about 1 hour too much.
-5 days per week is about 2 days too many.
-Friday we are having pizza so thankfully that will take up some of our scrapbooking time.
