August ...

Hello !
Here's a schedule for August. There are more shopping days, some demo days and more Make-It Projects as well as a TBA (still working on that ...) .

So here are some samples of the necklace or earrings that we are making on Friday the 14th and Saturday the 29th ...

The necklace includes Swarovski crystals - you choose your colours - and the earrings use a mix of smaller beads . Again, you choose your colours. The earwires are lead free/nickel free.  The cost for each project is just $6 including tax so you could even make several for Christmas gifts ! 

Drop in between 10am and 11:30 on the dates listed to do this project. 

(Any changes will be an extra charge ... i.e different chains or earwires.) 

The next project is a Prima tag . 

If you like paper dolls, you'll love these !! A little stamping, some colouring and cutting, choosing various cute papers, adding doilies, ribbon and trims ... all such fun ! You will get a second tag so you can join them at the top and make a card out of it. Several different girls to choose from and lots of fun materials. Just $5 including tax. This will be Saturday August 15th any time between 10am and 11:30 am. 

And then join me on Friday the 21 and Saturday the 22 from 10am to noon to learn about the MINC. 

This is a wonderful foiling machine from Heidi Swapp along with a complete line of foils and products. There will also be a Mini Minc arriving soon and I'll have special pre-order prices that weekend for them. BUT, you can use the foil without the MINC and there are several ways to do that. I'll show you how and share some tips. Foil makes everything just a bit more special. 

And then I still have space on Friday the 28th for another Make-It Project. I'm running out of time today so I'll think about that and post it next week . 

Thanks ! Hope to see you at some of these extra days and events.
