We'll continue the theme as we make a beautiful coffee-inspired card to give to a friend (what a great way to suggest a coffee date!), and as an extra bonus, while we get crafty we'll enjoy lattes and espresso from my own personal coffee bar.

Get Popping: Home-made Christmas Crackers
We’re all familiar with these fun paper-covered tubes which often make an appearance on the table at Christmas dinner… popping them open with a partner and checking out the goodies inside has become a long-standing tradition for many families. Choosing to make your own Christmas Crackers instead of using store-bought gives meaning to the little gifts you find inside… they can be personal, specific to one intended recipient, or even home-made. This year I invite you to join my Christmas Crackers class, where you can make 6 of these lovely crackers to
take home and share with family. Each cracker will be decorated with Designer Series paper and finished with coordinating ribbon, and I will provide treats and slips of paper with jokes or seasonal quotes to stuff in your cracker along with an idea sheet of small, inexpensive and charming gifts you can add if desired.
Date: Sunday December 13th from
Cost: $10.00 for a set of six Crackers
There is limited seating at each class, so please contact me to reserve your spot in any of the above events. I look forward to crafting with you this Winter…
