Didn't get a chance to do any classes- just did a walkthrough, checking out the vendors and all. Was really nice. I might have to start planning all my chicago-area family visits around those dates!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-88892863886550090172010-07-15T19:09:28.532-05:002010-07-15T19:09:28.532-05:00Colors are just borderline on being different enou...Colors are just borderline on being different enough.

She may explain more of the details in her book. I'll have to look and refresh my memory.amyfibrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089380287307928974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-42139053003216640862010-07-15T11:16:07.845-05:002010-07-15T11:16:07.845-05:00Have a wonderful time at your classes!
