Summer Class Registration at Memories Galore is now open!

I am so excited about the class selection
this quarter.  I will be teaching an upcycled mini album series from
July through September.  Every 3rd Friday of the month at West, or 4th
Friday of the month at Brandermill create an incredible mini album out
of recycled materials.  I will also be teaching a card class every

alcohol inks, paper folding, and more!  Last, but certainly not least,
I will be teaching a 5-part art journaling series beginning in
