| Hi Everyone......Welcome to the month of May! I'm really excited about the projects this month and I know that even you parents will enjoy creating some of them. Don't be afraid to come on out with your kids. They can always give you some help if you need it.. This month we are featuring an 'advanced' class which will take 2 evenings to complete. I am also doing a 2 part 'painting class' for those of you who want to pick up the brush and 'let go'! So, let's get going and see what we have in store. Don't forget to register early for these classes. Call me if there is a time or day conflict with your schedule. And PLEASE PLEASE 'tell your friends about the classes" and get their parents to give me a call. |

| Wednesday, May 11th......6 pm.......$8.00 Kids.....force your family to look at your picture every time they go to the refrigerator. This 'magnetic' polymer clay frame will do the trick. In this class you will learn how to use just 2 colours of clay, some texturing tools, PLUS some metallic powder to create this unique picture frame. Add a magnet.....and hang it up! |

| Saturday, May 14th.......11 am - 1 pm.......$12.00 Create this great picture holder that says it ALL! Trace your own hand onto polymer clay, bend the fingers to 'sign' I LOVE YOU! Decorate it with a big red heart.....texture it with all sorts of neat things....add your own picture and give it to someone special. Oh, by the way, the pixie in the picture is my very own granddaughter 'Jaeden'. Isn't she cute? Come on now everyone....say 'hi' to Jaeden! HI JAEDEN! |

| Monday, May 16th.....6 pm......$12.00 Toad Crossing Sign Yes, he's ugly and bumpy, but he's employed! Just what every garden needs, because toads need protection too. Come on....give him a chance. Protect your toads. But please remember.....NO kissing! He's a 'TOAD'....not a 'frog'. Toad..Toad....not frog. No prince will show up...trust me. |

| Tuesday, May 31st......6 pm.......$15.00 Pen and Holder Set This would make a super 'teacher gift' for the end of the year. The ink cartridge can be replaced over and over. Not for the younger set. Very sharp blades involved. Learn how to make a flower design in clay. Apply very thin slices to the outside of the pen, bake it and sand it to a glossy finish. Come on out all of you 'PARENTS'. You CAN do it! If this night is not suitable, but you would really like to give it a try.... call me to set a date in June. |
