July is going to be full of great classes to help you to prepare for December!!

For those of us, myself included, that are procrastinators, this should either be therapeutic or

torture!!!

For the remainder of you, this month should be a joy!

All the projects are small and should be easy to complete in class or with just a few finishing touches at home. See

the classes listed below.

Pop the finished gifts away until December and then hope that you can remember that you have them….
