My Tutorial at the PCA Retreat 2016 Goes Live Today!

I can hardly believe how time has been flying by.  It was a whole year ago when I first announced teaching in the Polymer Clay Adventure Retreat and my video tutorial will finally be going live today.

If you already signed up, I hope you drop in and I will be available to answer any questions.  I am also looking forward to seeing your finished projects as well.

We have some supplies and kits listed in our online store to create the Kite Necklace and Earrings.  You will find them listed on our polymer and jewelry supplies page here.

Another Cyber Monday Post??

Yes we are aware it was Cyber Monday (almost over) and if you received as many e-mails today as we did, I know you are probably rolling your eyes by now!  But since it has been a week since I posted last (where has the time gone?) I thought I'd better get with the program and give you an update.  Between Dave's health being up and down since his surgery in September and me trying to get over my pneumonia, I haven't accomplished as much as I would like to and still running to keep up!

First thing -- this was the last day to take advantage of the free snowflake charm and tutorial offer.   I decided to make the tutorial available but it will be for sale as an addition to our "Snap" Decisions tutorial.  This doesn't have to be used just to create a snowflake but is a variation on creating a textured snap from a mould and scrap clay.  I haven't got it listed yet -- give me a few days and I promise it will be available.

Also, if you still planning to attend the 2016 Polymer Clay Adventure Retreat, you still have the opportunity to receive a complimentary copy of my new tutorial (not yet published), "From Scrap Clay to Art Deco".  We were informed that we will be receiving the names who have already signed up through us later this week and as soon as we receive the list we will be sending out copies of the tutorial to those on it.

This offer is available to the first 50 who sign up by the end of the year through us.  If you haven't registered for the Polymer Clay Adventure Retreat yet and would like this free bonus gift, all you need to do is register through the link below.

This retreat really is a good deal and they are even offering a payment plan if you can't pay it all at once.  Just think of all the new things you can learn -- all year long!

Polymer Clay Adventure Retreat - payment plan and gift purchases now available.

I am so excited to be a part of the 2016 Polymer Clay Adventure Retreat!  This is a fun way to improve your polymer clay skills, learn some new techniques and make some new friends!  It is more than just lessons but a community you can connect with.  You can ask the teachers questions and share what you have made from the classes with the others.  Here is a cool video put together showing all the teachers and the fun projects that are all included in this year long retreat that you can attend right from the comfort of your own home!

This whole all-inclusive retreat is all for only $99 (U.S.).  And if it is too much to pay for all at once, they are now offering a 3x payment plan!  And now with the holiday season, gift purchases are also available for that special person or loved one.

I am still offering my new tutorial, "From Scrap Clay to Art Deco" as a bonus gift to the first 50 who sign up (click here or on the above photo) for the Polymer Clay Retreat through me.  Even if you are not ready to purchase, click on the link to be sure you will be registered under me later.

Important Update Info for the 2016 Polymer Clay Adventure!

I recently received more info on how the Polymer Clay Adventure Retreat works and thought I should explain as best I can to help prevent any confusion -- especially for those who would like to receive my complimentary tutorial as a bonus gift.  You can read more about this on my previous blog post here.

Each of the 24 teachers involved (including myself) have the opportunity to promote this great Event to sell tickets.  The Retreat is headed up by llysa & Kira of Polymer Clay TV who do all the organizing and collect the funds, etc.  All we do is provide the means for you to access the retreat and purchase your ticket.  Each of the teachers receive a commission for anyone who signs up through them and the link they have provided.  So, if you have clicked on a link to view the retreat information provided by one of the teachers, then you are under that person.  You do not have to buy your ticket at that time but you have basically connected yourself to be under them.  So if you have already clicked on some other teacher's link and try to click on mine to purchase your ticket, it is too late and you are already under the name who's link you first "clicked" on.

So, if you are interested in signing up through me and receiving my free tutorial gift, but do not want to buy just yet, then all I ask is just click on this button here:

By simply clicking on the button will lock you in under my name so that when you decided you want to buy your ticket later, you will already be linked to me.  Even if you think you might have clicked on someone else's link first, click on this link anyways, just in case you didn't.  I will not know right away who signs up through me until later when they send me the list of names.

I know many of you might be disappointed if you find out that you already "signed up" through someone else and so therefore do not qualify for my free tutorial gift.  If that is so, I will do something special for you later (if you contact me).  Just be sure to follow our blog (sign up on the right hand side for direct e-mails) so you can stay posted for future contests and give-a-ways.

Still Time to Buy Your Ticket for the Polymer Clay Adventure Retreat and Get Your Goody Bag!

When you sign up for the 2016 Polymer Clay Adventure Retreat you have the chance to receive a goody bag.  There is still time to get in on it as it has been extended one more day so you now have until tomorrow (Wednesday) evening.  This is going to be a fun year of exciting new tutorials with tons of inspiration and a cool place to meet and make new friends who all share the same passion!

If you would like to join me and are one of the first 50 who sign up through the link I have provided below, then you will also receive a copy of my new tutorial, "From Scrap Clay to Art Deco" as a bonus gift for free!  To be sure you get in on this offer, then click on the button or picture below.  If you were already a member of last year's (2015) Adventure Retreat, no worries -- you will need to sign in and then purchase your ticket.  As long as you have first clicked on this button then you will be added to my list of the first 50 attendees!  If you still are not sure, feel free to contact me by e-mail or through our facebook page.

Ever since introducing my "Summer Magic" Kite Necklace several years ago I have had so many requests for a tutorial on how to make one as well as offers to purchase my piece.  I decided this was the perfect opportunity to finally share it with you in this upcoming retreat.

I am also excited about another surprise which I will reveal more to you soon.  It is a special bonus gift offer to a limited amount of people who sign up for the retreat through me!
