Bad News...

Due to a bunch of things beyond anyones control all instructors at Michael's are losing their jobs.
I need to figure out something else to do....
Weather it be a CTMH consultant, host home scrapbooking and card classes, or find a different job all together.
They offered me a job as a sales associate. They couldn't even guarantee me the rate of pay i get now. I dont know if i've said this but i'm a financial assistant where i work now. I have an accounting degree. Becoming a sales associate would be a waste of my time and my talent.
Is a 25% discount really worth being "demoted" ?

This sucks. And i dont know what to do or think.
They are phasing out all classes altogether except kids club, wilton cake classes, and free events.

talk about DUMB!

Ugh! What a bummer! I'm so sorry to hear this! Are there any local stamp stores you could instruct at? That's all I can think of in the way of advice for you :(
Hang in there - I firmly believe everything happens for a reason - maybe this will open the door to a new and wonderful opportunity for you! I'll keep my fingers crossed and think happy for you!
Hugs,
Catherine

I agree with Catherine, it's probably for the best. I've been following your blog for awhile, and your work is much too good for Michael's. CTMH would be a good fit since you can not only get trendy materials at a discount, but you can also purchase in bulk for workshops. It's great if you've got space to hold classes. I don't, but I've solved that problem by developing a "workshop club" that a group of women take turns hosting. Let me know if you have any questions.

That's too bad. I wonder what's going on... But, like Catherine said, it might be a sign that it might be time to move on to something else... maybe bigger and better.

I'll be thinking about you and good luck!
