I love the handmade shoes. I looked to see when the next classes were, and it directed me back to the September, 2010 class. The shoes and boots look remarkable.
The next class is scheduled for September 18 – 24 2011. You will not be able to link onto the registration page until after the new online catalog is updated. Scheduled to be online by the end of November or the first of December at the latest. Just check the link I have on my classes page at that time and we should be ready to go. Thanks Peggy Patrick
