Wow! What a crazy few weeks we've had here at CREATE! We have been busy with drop-in art, birthday parties, new products, jewelry making, crops, special events and new class development! CREATE is participating in two wonderful events the weekend of April 16th, 17th and 18th. First is Crop for a Cause, a 12-hour scrapbooking event to benefit Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. This wonderful cause is more than just scrapbooking: there will be a homemade bake sale, a craft garage sale, a raffle for wonderful prices and a silent auction. CREATE participates as a sponsor of the crop and will have a mini-store set up during the event! Please see www.becauseineedacure.blogspot.com for more details. We will also be at the Kids Explore event at the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs, IA. Kids Explore is a festival of family fun and learning. The CREATE booth will feature a bubble painting craft and we will be on had to show tell you all about everything we do here! Check out http://www.kidzexplore.com/ for more information! And speaking of what we do here, check out what we've been up to lately!
