Hello!
Things have been extra hectic in the shop lately which has prevented me from keeping up with this blog. Everyday I have good intetions of keeping you in the loop, but mysteriously the day comes to an end and well, you know the end of the story. I am trying to arrange for a few extra hours to be added to each day.
We have an amzing NEW class schedule for November/December! I am still in denile that we are at the end of 2011 - what happened? It's crazy how quickly time zips by. I think I will plan to consciously slow down in 2012, but no time for that kind of talk now :) Here's the New and exciting Class Schedule ~ a BIG thanks as always to Ginabean for making this happen:
