I am so happy it is finally September! That means we are much closer to cooler weather!
This summer was brutal! In California we experienced the hottest summer on record. It was awful. The middle of August the kids headed back to school.
It is hard to believe that we have two in High School, and one in Middle School.
Our days spent at the Elementary school are over and it has been sad for all of us. Andrew catches the bus at the Elementary school and still gets sad in the mornings when he is dropped off.
Stampin Up Announcement:
I’m starting September with a special announcement!
I shared the news in a video on YouTube and wanted to make sure you see it here as well.
While I never find change easy, and there is part of me that is sad as I make this transition, I’m also at peace.
I have been struggling with Stampin Up for awhile and as I made the final decision to move on I’ve realized it is the right thing for me right now.
Thank you to all of your who have supported me through Stampin Up over the years.
I am deeply grateful for the time I spent with Stampin’ Up.
I had some of the most amazing experiences of my life, and met some of the best people through Stampin Up. It is something I wouldn’t trade for anything.
Memory-Keeping & Where To Find Me:
As I mentioned in the video above my hearts desire is Memory-Keeping, and teaching Memory-Keeping Classes, techniques, and how to enjoy the process of memory-keeping.
With that said there are a few things I share each month, and a few places you can find me.
The first thing I’m starting to share more of is photo challenges, and content that is focused around Memory-Keeping. This monthly photo challenge will be apart of a free course I’m putting together about capturing everyday photos.
You can still find me on Facebook on my business page HERE! I try and filter everything I’m doing through this business page.
On Facebook I have two main Facebook Groups that are crafting focused.
Stamping & Crafting With Katina Martinez
This group is for Card Making, Home Decor Projects, and anything other than memory-keeping. You can join HERE, if you are interested in keeping up with other crafty projects.
Simply Documented Society
I’ve dedicated this group to all things memory-keeping. You can join HERE.
It’s a space where you can share your projects and seek assistance with any memory-keeping challenges you might face. I’m here to help and support you every step of the way.
Up Coming Content:
I’m excited to be back in my crafty space creating once again. I am posting 4 times a week.
Tuesday sand Most Fridays I will be posting public projects on YouTube HERE, and here on my website.
Wednesdays and Saturdays I will be posting membership projects on Youtube and Life Simply Documented.
