In the next couple of months we'll build upon our knowledge and create some other beautiful flowers.  Cost of class is $15.00 and you must have a Tool Kit and Molding mat which can be purchased at time of sign up or before the class.  To sign up for this class please call The Scrap Room at 615-758-9596

This summer Elisa taught the CHA 2 hour flower workshop.  It was filled with 60 woman and men from all different stores all over the US and a few overseas.  Elisa walked everyone through the steps as Jessica worked the steps under the camera that projected on the big screen for all to see.  Which continued on during the entire class.  Elisa shared her tips and tricks that she has picked up along her journey with McGill.  Along with Elisa and Jessica was Gary, Linda, Miranda and Janine whom walked around the room to help assist during the entire class.
