Class Content to be Determined . . .
Debbie Cosenza is one of the newest instructors at our store. Like many of you, she has an interest in all things Tim Holtz. So she designed a class inspired by this year’s version of Tim’s 12 Tags of Christmas, and I posted it online last night and in the...
Black Friday Winners . . .

We Interrupt This Weekend Tale . . .

How I Spent My Weekend (Part One) . . .
This was such a busy weekend – my Saturday alone wore me out. I realized about halfway through that I should be taking pictures along the way – sometimes, blog pieces just write themselves that way. Even then, I still forgot to take pictures at some of the...
