I am so happy that you have found the fun again. Every once in a while I also take a beginner's class; they are always a good refresher and I almost always learn a new trick or 2.
If you ever get a chance to take a class from Debbie Caffrey, do so! I did at the Houston show and she really helped my rotary cutting skills. She has a dvd out with Charlotte Angoti that I highly recommend!
