Spring Classes

Class kickoff went great today! I'm super excited to be taking Melissa S's Altered Book (it's gorgeous!) and Angela's What Matters Most. If you weren't able to make it out to class kickoff you need to stop by the Brandermill store and check out the class samples. I have a lot of classes that I am excited to be teaching this quarter. I hope you will be able to join me!
