Welcome to "A Bit On The Side"

This course will be delivered in four modules. 

An email reminder will be sent to you as modules 2, 3 and 4 are completed and unlocked each week.

When we unlock each module, you can expect to receive the following.

  • The online learning section (which you are reading now) includes some discussion, tips, videos if the methods seem complicated, etc., for the recipes/projects within. Scroll and click each topic to find out more.  You've got Module 1 now. 


  • An eBook that can be downloaded, and/or printed, or simply viewed on screen. This has the recipes and methods, but you may refer to the online learning section for extra details.  We've provided links throughout the ebook to make the learning a better experience.  The links will take you directly to the additional information for the specific topic.  This way, you won't have to download or print reams of paper but have the extras if you need them.


  • Printable labels so that you can dress up and identify your jars and or gifts.


As always, I suggest you look over any tips before making anything; remember, you'll find reminder links throughout your ebooks.
 
I've created some labels for you to download and print out. Use them on your gifts or use them as examples and make you're own. I've added a link to some free software that is fun to use if you're feeling creative. 
 
You will find all this under the appropriate module. I've also added links within your eBook that will take you straight to the labels. 
 
Print them out to your heart's content.
