NEW Monthly Class Coming in 2011: 12 Days of Christmas

Christmas is always here before you know it and over in a flash. This class will keep Christmas in your heart all through the year...well at least one day a month. Each month you will create a different Christmas/Winter themed project. Let me help you get ahead of the game by creating handmade gifts (if you choose to give them away), cards and decorations. No need to try to get it all done within the last month, right before the holidays. Take one class a month to get ahead of the hustle and bustle.  It's sure to be a JOLLY good time.  Specific dates, times and projects will be announced each month."
