It's Beginning to look alot like Christmas........

I know we haven't even had Thanksgiving! However, people are starting to think about Christmas a little early because everyone seems to be on a strict budget. We have some great ideas to make your Christmas a Homemade Christmas. All of the fun projects we did at the Holiday Retreat are on display and we have some kits available. We have some GREAT Christmas lines of paper and embellishments to get you excited about making your Christmas cards.
We only have about 30 spots left for the Spring Retreat! If you haven't gotten yours yet, you better get on it before they are gone!
