Tomorrow is the 3rd Friday of the month, i.e., Play Day at Art 'n Soul from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Bring in whatever project you want to work with in a warm, inviting and creative atmosphere at the store and have fun chatting with others. If you don't have something specific to work on, the theme is "Washi Tape". Marj Marion will be at the store from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to offer you inspiration on how to use your various washi tapes in many different ways. I wish I could be there but Gammy duties continue, mixed in with an annual holiday luncheon.


Tomorrow also brings more of the 12 Days of Christmas at Art 'n Soul! On the ninth day of Christmas, my Art ‘n Soul gave to me, FREE WASHI TAPE DEMO FROM 11:00-2:00 AND BOTGOT – BUY ONE WASHI TAPE, GET ONE FREE (EQUAL OR LESSER VALUE) FROM BELLA CARTA.
