Greetings!
There's nothing like a winter day - or night - for appreciating the comfort of home. What folks choose to do can make wintertime feel uniquely special, whether it's lingering over a warm meal with family and friends or engaging in a board game, a hobby, or a project.
With so much cold yet ahead of us (according to Punxsutawney Phil's prediction), an ACE class affords another way to make the most of wintry days and evenings. We have lots of "classy" suggestions to help you jazz up your home, stretch your dollar, and enjoy your time on the home front.

| Beautiful Inside and Out
Affordable home projects
If your focus is indoors instead, then interior design, picture framing, beginner's woodworking, furniture restoration, or floral design classes can empower you to perk up your surroundings at a fraction of the usual cost.
There's more to a home than just its surface appeal, though. Tackle your own repairs after getting expert instruction on home maintenance, electrical skills, or do-it-yourself plumbing. Ready for a bigger project? Try finishing a basement with guidance from instructor Earl Fox!

Virginia Is for Lovers
Successful slogan turns 40
Four decades ago, what started out as "Virginia is for history lovers," "Virginia is for beach lovers" and "Virginia is for mountain lovers," soon morphed into Virginia is for Lovers, implying that whatever visitors loved they could find in Virginia. The slogan debuted in 1969 and became one of the best known in the travel industry. It's still going strong.
