NEW ONLINE MYSTERY CLASS STARTS TODAY!

We are so excited to start the new Online Mystery Class Beijing Butterflies today.

This is an exclusive design so if you did not sign up during the deadline then you will not be able to join us for the fun.

Easter Wreath has its second lesson going on and Harvest is in the home stretch with lesson five currently being stitched.

However, there is more in the future!

We are currently doing S.O.S. in CyberSpace which is our original online embellishment class.  This is a fun class that we have already started playing with although it does not officially begin until September 15 - don't worry you will not miss a thing!  It is all there waiting for you on the 15th.


Registration is still open on this class so if you need more information just scroll down through these previous posts and read all about it.  Also, feel free to email me at duodesignsinc@yahoo.com if interested.

The real purpose of this posting is to talk with those of you who are interested or have already stated an interest in these upcoming classes:

ANNIE LANE - CATS IN A DINGHY - NOVEMBER 2015

BRENDA STOFFT - EASTER RABBIT WITH MORNING GLORIES - JANUARY 2016

MELISSA SHIRLEY THANKSGIVING CRITTERS - MARCH 2016

PILLOW COLLAGE FROM the collection - MAY 2016 (1yr in length)

What I want to share with you is that many of you may not know that it takes anywhere from 8-10 weeks to get a hand painted canvas from the distributor (if you are lucky- remember they are at the mercy of the painters in most cases).  Now, add to that the time that it takes your LNS to be able to order it - maybe a couple more weeks up to a month from the time you contact them to order.  Next thing you know your time has lapsed and you are ready for class but you have not received your canvas.  So if you know for sure you may want to take the class your first priority should be to order the canvas.  (And guess what?  That sorta spreads out the expenses, right?)  I try to alert you of known trunk shows because I know some of them offer a discount and every little bit helps!

Invoices for classes do not go out until about a month before the actual class so that is pretty far off in the future still.  Other than the S.O.S. in CyberSpace class, all classes are $150 for the 6-lesson packet.  The Pillow Collage class, even though a year in length, is the same price we will just be issuing lessons every other month - there is a lot going on in this design!

We have so many more exciting things planned for you for the future but this should give you a good start for planning.  Remember that holidays and birthdays, Mother's Day, etc. all present excellent opportunities to say here is what I want and here is how you get it for me!  

OTHER GOINGS ON!
