"There are no happier people on this planet than those who decide that they want something, define what they want, get hold of the feeling of it even before its manifestation and then joyously watch the unfolding as, piece by piece by piece, it begins to unfold. That's the feeling of your hands in the clay." -Esther Hicks 💜

I'm so excited to collaboarte with my firend, and fellow artist, on this winter-themed crafternoon. ☃

❄️ Step into the magic of the season! ❄️

Join us for a festive afternoon of Winter Festoonery!

Gather your friends and celebrate the holidays by creating joyful crafts from upcycled and recycled materials. We'll have a cozy afternoon of seasonal craft-making, turning forgotten items into beautiful treasures like:

✨ Festive Garlands!
✨ Whimsical Cardboard Gingerbread Houses!
✨ Colorful Folded Star Ornaments!

All materials will be provided, but pre-registration is required so we can have enough for every creator. A $5 cash donation is suggested to help cover supply costs.

Don't miss out on the winter fun! We can't wait to see you there! ❄️
