Bead Social/UFO Night - TONIGHT, 7/29 @ 6PM

It's that time of the month again...

Come join the fun at the monthly "Bead Social/UFO Night" and bead yourself happy. Just $10!

As one student says "It's cheaper than therapy!"

Have UFOs landed at YOUR house??? Gather them up/dust them off and bring them to the monthly Bead Social. Don't bead alone! This is a working class for beaders who may have questions or need a quick refresher in any area of beading. There will be no specific instruction but lots of one-on-one time with students. A great class to get motivated to finish your UFOs (UnFinished Objects), get back into beading, start a new project, or for social beading. Also, a chance to meet new friends and see old ones. Please bring along some of your finished projects to show the class.

"Bead Social/UFO Night" is usually held the last Wednesday of the month from 6:00pm - 8:15pm at the AC Moore in Dover/Rockaway.

Supplies: Beads, stringing material and findings
Cost: $10 + supplies

STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THIS CLASS MUST HAVE TAKEN A PREVIOUS CLASS WITH THIS TEACHER.

NOTE: If you plan to come to this class, please send me an email or call me so that I have all of the necessary materials to help you.

Say Hi!

Hello everyone out there...

I've noticed from the stats on the page that people have been reading my blog from all over. Why not say "Hi" and let me know how you found me.

Feel free to ask me questions or leave suggestions for future classes.

No class again tonight while I take care of some things at home.

Next Wednesday will be our monthly Bead Social/UFO Night.

Hope to see you soon. Happy Beading!

Julie :-)

NO CLASSES UNTIL JULY 29!

Sorry to say that I have to cancel classes for the next two weeks - 7/15 and 7/22 - due to some personal issues. Both classes will be rescheduled for September.

The next class will be the monthly Bead Social/UFO Night on July 29th.

If that changes I'll post updates here.

Again, sorry for the changes. Please email me if you have any questions before then. Hope to see you soon!

Happy beading.
