Q. I live in <insert remote state/country> and would love to take one of your classes but you do not seem to be coming to my area. *sniff* Can I order a kit and instructions by mail?
A. Perhaps. I sometimes have kits left over from teaching trips.
Q. How do I purchase instructions
and templates?
A. You Contact me and tell me what you want. I quote you a price ($10-$20 per class depending on the templates involved) and if you agree, I send you a PayPal invoice. Once you've paid, I send you everything via e-mail in easy-to-print PDF file format.
Q. I bought a Home Construction project and I'm a little confused about something. Can you help?
A. ABSOLUTELY! I strive for happy home constructors. It's the only way this program will work. Contact me and I'll do all that I can to answer your questions and ensure that you are successful, satisfied, and out there showing off your finished project to impressed friends and family as soon as possible!
Q. I am a student who took one of your classes
or bought instructions. Can I copy the handout and templates for my friends?
A. I'd really rather you didn't. The instructions and templates
are for your own personal use, to make future projects for yourself or projects to give away as gifts. The templates/instructions
are not to be used commercially, they are not to be sold, they are definitely not to be posted on the Internet, and as for your friends
. . . well, you'd be doing me a huge favor by giving them the link to this website instead! :)
Q. I am a store owner who
took a class from you at a convention and want to re-teach it at my store. Is that allowed?
A. Please contact me and we'll discuss
it. My first choice would be for me to teach the class at your store. I really like your store. It's pretty and smells like chocolate
chip cookies! (Or so I surmise) If we can't work out a way for me to get there, then you must purchase a class CD from me. The
CD is a great value; you'll receive digital versions of the handouts, templates, cut diagrams, and, most importantly, the limited
copyright release that allows you to reproduce everything. Contact me for pricing information.
Q. How do you come
up with these things?
A. Well a lot of these techniques have been around for years - in cards, in toys, in paper engineering books - I
really can't claim to have invented how to fold and engineer paper to do nifty things. That would be like saying I invented physics
or geometry! What I can claim, though, is that all of the templates that I use in my classes are my own original designs
and are copyrighted as such.
Q. I heard that your blog is pretty funny. How do I get there?
A. There is a direct link
button at the top of this page, but here's another one: I am not left-handed
Q. What is your connection to Dollar Scrapbooking?
A. One of my dearest friends is the owner of Dollar Scrapbooking and I occasionally help out by running her booth at conventions. The booth requires my undivided attention from Thursday-Saturday, but I am usually available to teach Wednesday or Sunday at a local store. My DSB trips are included on my calendar for that reason. If I'm coming to your area and you'd like me to teach at your store, please contact me.
Q. What is your connection to Rusty Pickle?
A. Lance, the owner of Rusty Pickle, has a similar teaching style and is also an engineer. He likes my interactive elements and we've worked out a deal where he will teach some of my classes. You can find out where he'll be teaching next by visiting his blog: Where in the World is Lance?
