Hey there! Put down those pots and pans and step away from the spice rack! Yes, you!

This is Tami Morrison for Big Picture Scrapbooking, and I'm about to give you an excuse to get takeout! Yes, you heard me correctly, go ahead, dial up your favorite Chinese restaurant, place an order, just don't forget the fortune cookies and the chopsticks because you are going to need them for this super fun Projects Now class.

Now, if you are anything like me, the best part about eating Chinese food is, let's face it, the fortune cookie. When I crack open that cookie at the end of the meal, I'm always hoping to find some relevant little tidbit or some pieces of advice that I can interpret to fit my own life. Have you ever gotten one that was so dead-on that you wondered if there was a fortune cookie baker spying on you? Well, what about the ones that you just really hope will come true. Don't you wish you had a place to keep them all? I will admit, I'm a fortune cookie pack rat, it's true. If a fortune strikes a cord with me, I feel the need to pin it on my bulletin board or stick it on my fridge. I've also been known to stick them in drawers, purse pockets, pants pockets, you get the idea. The problem was that they were all over the place. I would keep coming across them thinking I've got to do something with these, so I finally did. I created a really fun little mini book that's quick and easy to make and gives all those little wayward fortunes a happy home.

In this class, I will guide you step-by-step through making your own fortune keeper where you can display your favorites and even record your reflections and predictions about them. As a bonus, I will show you my favorite fortune I've ever gotten, and trust me, it's a good one! I will also share some fun extras like how you can turn this project into a fabulous gift that will score you some big creativity points. So go sign up quick before your chow mein gets cold. Cookies…takeout…crafting…fortune telling, all at the same time…this is big!
