A GATHERING OF MAKERS

Last month we hosted a special event for the makers who have their creative goods in our shoppe and were delighted that most were able to attend. Two training seminars by creative coach, JJ Frederickson, were the highlight. We hope to make this an annual event and plan to open it up to other creatives next January!
