Snowman Wreath!!!!

Ladies,

 A lot of you have been wanting to do the snowman wreath class (we did it twice but ran out of snowmen).  I will be offering this class again.  There are some conditions.

I have to order $100 worth of product at two different vendors to get PART of the supplies in that we need.  This is just to secure the ribbon and snowmen.  I then have to get the wreaths, mesh, chenille stems, & decorations.

Also, the snowman is the same, but 4 inches bigger, which makes him more expensive.

Here's the deal.  If you want to do this class, drop by the store and pre-pay.  Class will be $30 due to the cost of the larger snowman.  We will write down that you've paid for it.  If I can get 25 - 30 people to sign up, I will order product and we will start scheduling classes.  Don't worry.  We WILL get your wreath done if you sign up.  We can do several classes to get him all done for you.

Any questions?  Please call the store: 217/347-3600

Don't delay, as I'm not sure when the snowmen will be gone!

Thanx,
Bev
