If you haven’t yet signed your kids up for the Summer Kid’s Craft Camp, it’s not too late! Over the past few weeks the kids have had a great time creating and decorating a 3 canvas wall hanging, a personalized wood framed chalk board, and a lap desk, and there are even more terrific projects coming up, so be sure to check out the calendar to see details on the upcoming projects. The Camp will be held every Tuesday for six weeks starting June 24 through July 29 11am-12:30pm. These classes are for anyone 5 years of age and up. Many of our classes will appeal to kids, teens and adults alike. Parents may stay and participate with the kids, or drop them off to take advantage of an hour or so of free time.

If summer brings you face to face with an out of control mess of scrapbooking materials and supplies, never fear! Our Summer Consignment Sale is just around the corner, so start boxing up all of those extra supplies and get them priced and ready to sell. The summer consignment sale will be held on Saturday July 26 11am-8pm. If you are selling items in the consignment sale, you may drop them off anytime between now and July 24th. For details on pricing and packaging items, check out our calendar and click on Consignment Sale.
