Encore, Encore!

So, after the awesome and inspiring Stampin' Up! convention this summer, I came home inspired to try some new things, both with my "business," and my activities.  As happens so often to me, an opportunity arose almost right away to put me to the challenge!
I was approached by Encore University ("Adventures in Lifelong Learning") about offering a couple short and easy classes for their students.  After some discussion, we matched me up in a fun suite of classes, called "Let Us Entertain You," that featured 5 different classes that cover a range of entertainment topics, from invites and favors (those were my offerings!) to table settings, cooking and flower arranging.
I decided I was game for it, and worked hard to be able to offer the classes for no fee, by using all retired materials, though current stamp sets.  If you're interested in the projects, they are pictured below, and here are the Simple Invites instructions, and the Simple Favors instructions.  Three basic invites with coordinating favors, in two classes, 1 hour each!  It was a blast!  I think they enjoyed it, and I'll wait to hear their feedback - a fun way to find a happy home for retired stock!
