August 2009
Man, the summer is flying by!
I can't believe we are in August already and ordering Holiday product.  And as much as I consider myself a "scrooge", I have to say that some of the new Holiday lines are simply wonderful.  Halloween is also right around the corner and since I love this holiday over all the rest, expect to see lots of spooky projects popping up real soon.

This is a super month here at CraftFancy because we are busy making all our plans for the rest of the year, so I will keep this Newsletter to the point.  If you like to know what is happening almost daily at the store, check out our blog

If you missed the Digital Photography Classes last month, Nate will be back one more Saturday to get everyone ready for all those fall shots!  If you want to be ready by Christmas to capture all those precious moments, sign up today as these classes will fill fast!
  Also, destined to be very popular this month is our Flower Soft Workshop.  All their new product should be here soon and one class showing their simple techniques and you will be hooked.  All the details on these classes are below as well as all our classes for August can be found on our online Calendar.  Remember, all our class samples are in our Online Gallery.  No experience required for most our classes, we love to teach newbies!

Hope to see you soon!
