Crafty Kids

First Friday of every month, 4:00- 5:15pm

Join Mendy Thijssen and her daughter Amalea for this monthly Blossom FUNdraiser. This is an all ages event- even tiny babies have been known to help their moms make footprint turkeys! So sweet! Each event has a theme for crafting with special projects outlined for use with differing levels of difficulty (or detail).
