• Bottom Row Right: Advisor Chiara Pacione hosted her first-ever CM class at lunch at work as a wellness activity — a “Lunch and Learn” border-making class. Attendees said they would like to see this get-together as a monthly activity at lunchtime.

• Top Row: Advisor Lianne Hull Griffin had a fantastic weekend as a vendor at a recent retreat with 70 scrappers. Lianne taught two classes during the weekend and sales were a hit.

• Middle Row Left: Advisor Tiffany Joskow hosted her first three-day event of the year and the theme was the “Scrappy Bowl.” There were challenges that earned “yards” down the football field, and if you weren’t careful with your words, you would be called out in a “tackle” that was settled by rock-paper-scissors. Everyone wore their sports attire for the event and enjoyed sports-themed snacks. 

• Middle Row Right: Advisor Debbie Solar had a great time at her “Beat the Winter Blues” crop. Croppers had snow much fun completing more than 750 pages.
