Some Q/A about my class

Thank you guys so incredibly much for your support for my class! I am always humbled by the fact that I get opportunities to be able to share some of my ideas with others in this wonderful craft.

I had a few questions about the class that I wanted to answer, and if anyone else has questions, please feel free to add them to this post and I'll add them in here and answer them, too!

Is there anyway we can view a recording of the class if we can't be online at the scheduled time?

Absolutely! Actually, there will be a whole private section in the NoelMignon forums that will be dedicated to the class. Once the class is "open," you can have access it at any time, at your convenience!

Virginia, this sounds like so much fun! I used to have a bag filled with scraps of things I loved - clothing tags, magazine ads, etc. Not knowing what to do with it, I think I finally gave up and tossed it.

I've never taken an online class. How do they work?

Thank you, friend! Oh, I hate that you tossed that bag! It could have been put to good use. ;)

The way I do online classes, is once you sign up, I will send you an email a few days later outlining supplies you need to gather, and a few other details to prepare for the class. There will be a private section set up on the NoelMingon forums that you will be given a password for. I will run the class for several days (I'm not entirely sure how many it'll be yet, but 3 or 4) and have different parts of the class posted on each day. I do somewhat of a "lecture/blog post" with different images with my thoughts behind the concept of the album. I also have portions based on inspiration, techniques, and examples of my album. I include step by step instructions on the actual project, and since I have a video camera, I will be including some videos this go around as well! We will also have a private chat night where we can discuss some of the album and bring inspiration to each other.

The wonderful thing about an online class is that 1) You can come in your pjs. and 2) You can do it on your own terms- middle of the night or naptime or whenever is most convenient to you. If you can't make it on those days, you can still come back to it at a later time to review the material.

I hope that answers the questions thoroughly enough! And again, thank you guys so much for your support! :)
