Fall 2014 Stampin' Up Class schedule

Good morning Stampers!

After a crazy summer of too many funerals and things not going as planned, I finally have all my boys' soccer schedules so I was able to make my Stampin' Up class schedule. I am excited to stamp with you this fall.  So, grab a friend and sign up for a class. Put the cares of this world away and come stamp with me! :)  Please remember to take note of the RSVP dates for each class.  As soon as you know you want to come to a class, go ahead and send me an email or call to sign up! :)

I hope your fall has gotten off to a great start! See you soon!

September Through December 2014

Please note I have been out of town unexpectedly for a funeral so tomorrow's open house is postponed
