Due to Josie not being at the meeting because of illness, there will be no photos on the blog this month.

I would like to encourage everyone to participate in our monthly program, you will only learn and increase your skill by doing. If you were not  there this month, I will gladly pull techniques for you, just let me know.

Take time to create,
