ELFIN' FUN IS HAPPENING IN THE RUBBER ROOM!

I love making little treats for neighbors, stocking stuffers, RAKs, friends, team members, etc... and I love sharing crafting time with you. On December 9th, 2024, I am combining both of those loves and celebrating a day of Rubber Room Fun! You can come to the Rubber Room on December 9th, 2024 from 10 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. OR from 6 - 9 p.m. (EST) and make lots of little gift items. AND there's nothing better than including a gift card with a little gift, or giving a gift card on it's own, so we're going to make a few of those too!

Your class fee is $25 and will include 3 small gifts and 2 gift card holders, which can be used with the small gifts or on their own. If you would like to add a "Refill To Go" to your class, I will have the materials cut and prepped for you, and you can stamp them while you are here and then take your "Refill To Go" and assemble them at your leisure later. Each "Refill To Go" includes all five projects and is $20. That's a total of 6 small gifts and 4 gift card holders for only $45. You must order your "Refill To Go" when you RSVP for class, and your payment is due with your RSVP.

RSVP before November 29th, so I have plenty of time to get your supplies ready for you. Space is limited, so be sure to save your spot soon.

Payment can be sent via PayPal: ckolly@stampingismybusiness.com or via Venmo: Chris Kolly
