Over the past two months we have reinvented the Winter Workshops for you! We have kept most of your favorites, and added a bunch more as well. Because many folks need to be a little bit more frugal in these times we have added some lower cost workshops too. There are now a number of $19.95 workshops, a $14.95 workshop, and even a $9.99 workshop for the kids. So whether you like the price, or love the project, please join us.
