An email and an update (but not in that order).

Just wanted to share an email that I got the other day, but a quick announcement first:

Registration for the Photographers Workshop (my new online photography class) starts this coming Monday, May 5th at 9:00 am PST at Snapshotsofagoodlife.com (the site is not currently live).  Class is scheduled to start on Monday, June 2nd.

This registration date and time were changed per the recommendation of my web designer to a date/time he would be available in case any technical issues occur (and because there are so many students wanting to register there is unfortunately a high and unavoidable probability that technical issues will occur).

Anyhow, if you are would like to receive updates in regards to this class, please sign up for my newsletter in the top right hand column of my blog.  I will be sending out a newsletter regarding class updates this Wednesday (I will try to answer all the questions I've been receiving in this newsletter).

And on to the email (from a gal who ordered a couple of my kits)...

Karen,

I got my kits yesterday and they are great!  I love your stuff and have a hard time finding it around here.

I especially loved the M&Ms and have to tell you a funny story about them.  In church on Wednesday night we talked about being generous and how if you are generous it comes back to you 10 fold.  They showed a video of a man sitting on a bus and he had 2 bags of M&Ms.  He gave a bag to a little girl sitting across the aisle.  when he opened his remaining bag, they spilled all over the floor and he was really bummed.  The video showed him throughout the rest of the day.  He paid a parking toll and the gate keeper gave him a bag of M&Ms with his receipt.  He went to the bank and got a bag of M&Ms with his deposit slip.  He walked by an M&M vending machine and turned the knob and the machine spilled out all of the M&Ms.

When we left church that night our pastor gave us all a bag of M&Ms and told us we could eat them or we could be generous and give them away.  Thursday I gave my bag away and when I got home there was my package from you with a bag of M&Ms!!!  Coincidence???

Thanks again!

Sherry

I love stuff like that.

I've always put M&Ms in all of my kits...except the Interactive Scrapbooking kit because that little tiny sack of M&Ms made the weight of the box I was mailing the kit in exceed 2 pounds (which increased the postage by $4.00 per kit) so unfortunately, the M&Ms had to go.

And a couple of shots from the other day...

Don't forget to sign up for the newsletter.

I tried to subscribe to your newsletter and received an error message that told me to contact the administrator. :(

not to be a debbie downer - but you might want to check with people before you send peanut m&ms - I have a peanut allergic child and if these were sent in my kits I would have to toss the entire thing (kit and all). I can't risk having them open up in shipping or the oil get on the kit and have my little one touch them. I find the gesture very sweet but to some it may be life threatening. Just an FYI
