Join me for the Piedmont Wildlife Center's Festival for Wildlife. There will be food, live bluegrass, educational booths, and crafts. Admission is $10 adults, $5 teens, children under 12 free. Visit www.piedmontwildlifecenter.org for more info and directions.

In this installment of my $5 technique classes you'll learn to tie perfect knots and bows. I’ll demonstrate the basics as well as some fun variations to add a wow factor to your gifts, cards, and scrapbook pages. The first time you attend a technique class, you receive a binder ring. At the class you will receive a 4x6 card with the instructions for the technique to put on your ring. I'll demonstrate the technique, and then you'll get to make two projects to practice the technique. Place a $25 order (before tax and shipping) at the class, and your class is free! Please RSVP before May 5th.

Come out and make cards for our deployed service men and women. The cards will be donated to Cards for Heroes, an organization that provides handmade cards to soldiers overseas so they can have stationary to send notes back to their family and friends. This is a free event. Feel free to bring a friend! Please RSVP by 5/25. Please include any friends in your RSVP.
