Ka-Pow, Craft Explosion is on

{photo by alibubba}

well its finally happening
CRAFT EXPLOSION  that is

after all that has been happening in my life
{need to catch up... don't feel bad, me too... you can read up here}
i almost let it pass by, just not sure i had it in me,
but i decided to i must do it for several important reasons:
* i would be so sad if i didn't do it, i had a blast last year, can you believe its been a whole year?
* i miss you ladies, i need your energy and craftiness
* i desperately need a creative rush, and there are so many amazing projects just calling our names
* my daddy was such a supporter of my classes, and i know he would want me to carry on

so it is decided
CRAFT EXPLOSION will happen on
NOVEMBER 14 and 15 {Wed and Thurs}
dependent on one very important condition

YOU

won't you be my teacher
won't you please
please won't you be
my teacher

oh its so much fun,
you know you want to
just ask them how much fun it was

look for possible class choices for you to choose to teach
or just come and craft away for two fantabulous nights
{sorry, no sleepover}
and all the fun details
coming very soon
