Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - December 17, 2019
Hello everybody,
Amazing that we are almost to a new year! I am sending out this update a little earlier than usual as Bill and I will be flying out to the Houston area in a few days to see my extended family out there. There will be lots of laughter (especially when my brothers and Bill get together), food and catching up. I hope that your holiday season will be one filled with warmth, tranquility and no drama! LOL!
Hope to see you in a future workshop - Jade
