Remaining Classes in 2011

I just wanted to let you know that I have had to postpone my remaining Picture Perfect Pages and 12 Days of Christmas classes in November and December. 
I will be moving at the end of November and therefore need as much time as possible to pack up up my current home (especially my scrapbook room) and get ready to move into our new home...which I am so excited about.
I will be starting up my classes again in January of 2012 and hope to see you all again then!
