Do you want to help your child make a heartfelt and handmade gift for Mothers' or Fathers' Day this year? Join us all day on Saturday, May 3rd for a walk-in gift craft that children any age will enjoy making and parents will love receiving! We will provide you with a wooden picture frame that holds a 4 x 6 picture and you can choose to embellish it with paint, decoupage, or wood burning. Staff will be available to assist with the wood burning tools. These frames could also be for a birthday gift, a "just-because" gift or for you to enjoy yourself.  Each frame is $15 including all supplies used. All ages and skill levels are encouraged and welcome!
