Call the store in advance to sign up for your favorite time slot – several will be available to help us stage the demand.   It’s a great time to catch up on making a few cards to have on hand for those last-minute needs.

A YEAR OF DUDE CARDS:  Do you struggle every time you need a thank you card, a gift card holder, or a Father's Day card?  A striking and simple masculine card can stump the best of us, which is why we're making 12 completely different cards in this class! A card for everything from birthday, congratulations, and any occasion cards.  There are 4 cards that have built in gift card slots, several new techniques, and more small details than you can imagine - all while staying clean and 'dude' friendly!  To top it all off, we'll also be storing them in our very own sturdy accordion card holder, so you can fill it up again and again in the years to come.  Make sure you come to the store and touch each of these individual cards and let you mind feel the relief knowing you're covered for the ENTIRE year, in just one class! This class is limited to 4 per class, with kits available at the store - for a total of 12 spots. Once the kits are sold, the class will be filled.  You'll need your basic kit and your favorite pair of tweezers for this class.  With Shannon on Saturday, 1/5 from Noon-3pm OR on Thursday, 1/17 from 5-8pm.  $40

CLASS POLICIES
***Classes start promptly at the time listed.  Please have your lovely buns in the seat and be ready to go!    Showing up late is very disruptive to the class that is already in progress.  Plan ahead for traffic or other things that might slow you down! 
If you are more than 10 minutes late, you may be asked to get into another class.  If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will forfeit your class fee. 
Classes must be paid for at the time of registration.  You are not considered registered unless a class is paid for which could affect your seat in those classes with student limits.  You may pay with cash, check or use a credit card with a $2 handling fee.  You may register over the phone and mail in a check or give us a credit card number. 
We also assume you're taking a class to enjoy a break for a few hours and learn some cool stuff without interruptions.  That said, we will now begin each class by asking you to turn off your cell phones or silence them during class.  This will enhance everyone's learnin' and enjoyment of the class at hand.
Thank you in advance for understanding.  If you have problems or questions about these policy updates, please see Patsy.
