Artsy Mamas

Dear Friends,
Because my entire family was stricken with the flu for a couple of weeks before Christmas, I have decided to not do the December Art date that would have originally been planned for this coming Monday, Dec. 28th. I have not had time to properly prepare for it and I've also not heard of any interest for the event. Please make a note that on Monday, January 25th, our art dates will resume at Linebaugh Library. I will send out an event invite closer to time to let you all know what we will be doing. Thanks!

Have a wonderful holiday!

Mandy
