Craft Classes at Craft Stores

Pin It

Did you know that most craft stores also offer classes in a lot of crafts? Classes like cake decorating, sewing, knitting, crochet, and even scrap booking. Most of these classes are pretty cheap as well. When I didn't have kids and had a lot of spare time I took Wilton Cake decorating at Michael's. As I remember each class was $30 PLUS you needed to buy the class kits as well as supplies. I took all 4 classes there and I think I ended up spending with all the supplies around $200. In the end I even got paid to make a few cakes and made my money back. On the other hand I gained 20 pounds and will NEVER like buttercream icing again!

2 weeks ago I took Basic Sewing 101 at Joann's ETC. I spent $17.50 and I got personalized attention on how to thread my machine and a few basic techniques. Joann's offers a bunch more sewing classes that I want to take if I can fit it in with my Midwife school, apprenticeship, and most importantly time with my family.

I really recommend people take advantage of these inexpensive classes and learn some of these dying arts!

Let me know how it goes...

Peanut Butter Rice Krispies

Pin It
I'm allergic to rice, which is sad because I've always held the belief that if I could eat it I'd be skinnier. Have you seen Suvivor? Those people get skinny really fast. Alas I prefer not to go into anaphylatic shock and die so I avoid it for the most part.

However, I saw this recipe over on the Idea Room and it looks so good maybe I'll risk it!
