Paper crafting helps to calm you and and lessen the anxieties that we may have during this period of time.  Doing something creative and something that you enjoy can take your mind off the current situations that have engulfed us over the past several months.

Because we have been #staying at home, we also miss the interaction with people.  Humans are social beings and without the interaction, there is loneliness that can take us down.

So, let’s start paper crafting together.  Virtual classes are the way to go right now.  Using the Zoom virtual platform or Facebook Live videos helps with the interaction between people. 

If you are looking for that peace of mind and interaction, there is a class for you on June 25th.  Check out the Kits in the Mail Class information. I can only send kits in the mail to those who live in Canada.
