Creation Station shoppers recycle and reuse as they craft. The Creation Station shopper obtains great bargains while keeping  items out of the landfill.  One will routinely find many wonderful items at the Creation Station including beads, quilting fabric, yarns, paints and painting surfaces.  Most items are priced by the bag. Selected assorted items stuffed in a standard paper grocery bag are $6.00.

Sadly the Creation Station is only open on Thursdays and Saturdays.  It is staffed by volunteers so call ahead to double check the hours, call 517 371-2451. The Creation Station is definately worth the trip.

Less than $10.00

This is a simple project – just paint the cover  of a brag book with your favorite  simple design.  Then fill the book with 4″ x 6″ pictures of your various projects.  Carry these brag books in your purse or bag of crafting/painting supplies.  Now you have a portable portfolio ready to show off your work!

Time to break out the brushes! Break those winter blues and come out and join a painting class! My Winter classes are beginning soon!

News from Michelle James, Livonia MI ……..

“Wow – it’s been a long time since I’ve written to you all – hope you are doing well and had a wonderful Holiday Season! I have so many things planned this year and I think I finally have it all straight. I am so excited to share with you that I will be teaching OSCI Level 2 Prep and OSCI Level 2 Certification as well as the new wOil Certifications this year! My website has been updated with the class listings for Prep and Certification Classes as well as my new Studio Classes for January through April. So much happening!

The best news of all – Donna is coming back to Michigan! If you were able to attend the 2010 Workshop in Livonia, you know what a great time that was (wish I’d been able to be there – but that’s a long story)… well she’s coming back with all new projects and our Thursday night 2-Hour Event will be held at the State of MInd Gallery – Northville. We’ll do a beautiful project – your choice in Acrylics or new wOils!!! The 2-Day Workshop will be held at the same location as 2010, Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church in Livonia. Workshop dates are May 17-19, 2012.

So – go check things out on my site – www.LaMiaArteOnline.com. If you want to register for a class or certification – email or call me (734) 420-7944. Payment info is on my site, but if you need to work out a different payment schedule – I’m very flexible and will work with you.
