June Classes and of course, New Products

Hi Everyone,

I know it has been a while since I posted some news. I've been chatting with all our great instructors and trying to come up with the June class schedule. It is almost ready and should be out by Friday.

The good news is that Cindy Kneise (I may have spelled that wrong) has agreed to come back and teach our children's classes this summer. Yeah!!! We finalized the classes and talked dates. This year we will be breaking up most of the activities into 2 groups; younger children 4-8 and older children 9-14. The classes will be held back to back so that if you have 2 children in different age brackets, they can both take the class and have fun. Cindy will be making the projects for the older group more complex and challenging for them. Class sizes will be limited so sign up soon.

First class is Friday June 13th from 10:30 to 11:30 for 4-8 year olds and 11:30 to 12:30 for the older children. We will be making Father's day cards. Fee $10

June 25th from 10:30 to 11:30 for 4-8 year olds and 11:30 to 12:30 for the older children. We will be decorating a chalkboard with paint and embellishments. This project can be used for their name or for them to draw and have fun with chalks at home. Fee $10

Check back here soon and I'll have dates and class descriptions for the rest of the summer program.

We still have a couple of kits left from last week's Creative Cafe layout (the one on the right). For this week's layout I used some of the new Scenic Route graph paper background and the adorable stripe paper from Little Yellow Bicycle.

Preview of next Week's Creative Cafe layout. I used the new Worn Graph Paper from Scenic Route, a bit of Basic Grey Two Scoops and our new library pocket and tag. This layout will be available on Monday June 2nd for $3.

Hi Everyone,

Lots of great goings on here at the store. I recharged my batteries this past weekend with my nephew's wedding on Saturday at Oregon Ridge.

I hope all your Mother's Day were fun and relaxing too.
