SUSAN BARKER 3D DECOUPAGE PICTURES AND HANDS ON CARD MAKING.
It was at this point members could relax and get involved with making their own Christmas card after a demonstration by Susan who guided us through each step of the process. It proved to be a delightful experience. Team working at each table was the order of the day as we each checked with each other we were doing it right. It was very therapeutic and quite satisfying to complete the finished product. You could say it was child's play!
