did i say sunshine?

i'm sure sunshine is right around the corner, but we can take advantage of the rainy, stay-at-home weather to catch up on projects or start something new. and new is what we have at green tangerines so come in and see what is perfect for your next creative venture.

join us this coming week for our first make & take. you will get to try the sizzix big shot machine, embossing folders and die cuts as you create a card you can give to a dad for father's day or to a special man in your life. remember you choose the day(monday, wednesday or friday) and the time(10-noon OR 6-8pm) for the FREE project. it is limited to those 12 years and older and only once per week.

we also have a guest teacher coming saturday june 11 from 10-1pm with her own unique make & take that you won't want to miss. remember the make & takes are on a drop-in basis, no need for an appointment.
