If you missed Stamp Zia last month, don't fret she will be here again on May 29th, 30th and May 31st with 7 new classes.

Wow, what a group of talented ladies. We had beginners to the experienced stampers take her classes but you would never guess, because everyone's work was outstanding. No two pieces of art work looked alike. Unfortunately we forgot to take group pictures at the end of each class, but we did take pictures of everyone working. Zia gave out a door prize at each of her classes. Teresa was the lucky one won a signed piece of artwork from Zia for the first to sign up for all six classes. Sorry Teresa you lost on this trip as someone else signed up first for all 7 classes.

Zia is doing another special for May's classes--sign up for all 7 classes and save $50. What a bargain, it's a free class (of equal or lesser value).

Save 15% when you sign up for 3 or more classes.
