December Schedule

Our December Schedule is updated in our YahooGroup Calendar. There are so many fun and inspiring workshops next month it will be hard for you to choose. Just one of the classes we are offering next month is this super cute Christmas Stocking Album on December 8th. Also, be sure to bring the kids in for our kids craft day. They can make some unique and creative Christmas gifts, leaving you with extra time to shop. Of course, we will also have last minute gift classes to help you check a few names off your list.

Be sure to note our store hours for the month of December as we will be closed over the Christmas Holiday.
