This is why I love teaching Gypsy classes!!!

I worked tonight at Michaels teaching Cake Decorating (no not with the cricut cake) and in the classroom was a package with my name on it. Imagine my surprise when I found this inside:

One of my Gypsy students made this gypsy cover for me!!

Her note included with the cover said: "Lori, I feel I need to apologize for my absence for several weeks. I really enjoy your Thursday Night Classes, but have been unable to come. With summer quickly approaching I find myself still unable to attend, but want you to know how very much I enjoy your enthusiasm and knoweldge about the Gypsy. You are so willing to teach, and share with us, showing much patience."

She went on to say that she is still trying to make the word book we started in class last month and she is still continuing to learn more about her Gypsy. She said her sewing skills are better than Scrapbooking but she enjoys both. She was excited to learn how to cut fabric with the cricut and made a Gypsy cover for herself. She wanted to make one for me as well. She used the Gypsy, Cricut and Create A Critter to make this cover. The back includes a pocket for the charger and a stylus. She included a stylus ~ she was in class with me the week I dropped and broke 3 styluses!!

Here are some close up photos:




I was so touched that Vivian took the time to make me this cover and drop it off at the store. This is why I love teaching!!!!

  9. I've been following you for a while and remembered this post. My DH & his parents just purchased the Gypsy for me for my Birthday (SO EXCITED). I was going to make a carrying case for it. This gave me an idea, I hope she doesn't mind me slightly scraplifting that idea? I was going to change it up a little, but it was inspired by this. Thanks for sharing it!!!!
