THANKFUL!

Happy Turkey Day!
Standard

Thank you for making Shenanigans a creative happy place!

I appreciate each and every one of you–your enthusiasm for trying and making new things, you willingness to share your kids with me, and your generous support.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.  There will be no after school Shenanigans this week.  There will be no Sunday knitting today or next Sunday.

Stay warm, safe, and cozy.

See you in December with glitter on.

Love,

Polly

So,

We have a LOT of fun in store at Shenanigans this Fall.  But, we can’t do it without YOU!

We are offering weekly classes after school on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  The  BROWN bus will take kids from Black Earth School to Mazomanie in time for all of the fun.  One of us will pick them up at the bus stop!  We also have an Ambassador who will walk from Mazomanie School to Shenanigans.

And, ADULTS can have fun, too!  We have a COLLAGE class scheduled for October 3–we are talking good times with Mod Podge(TM).  More adult classes are in the works…

Yep, that’s what this chilly weather does to me!

It’s time to warm up the kitchen and get the Mod Podge flowing!

We are working on getting Shenanigans ready for more creative fun!  After school classes will start October 1.  The session will run 10 weeks, which will take us right up to WINTER BREAK!!  Can you believe it?!

So, put on your cozy sweater, rev up the oven, and get the kiddos signed up to hang with us an afternoon (or two!) per week.

Our Gift To You

Standard

Happy Giving Tuesday!

We are feeling thankful and generous today!

We have so much to say, that I think a list might be the best way to do it.  SO, here it goes:

  1. THANK YOU, Wisconsin Heights Education Foundation for the generous grant!!
  2. THANK YOU to all of you who have supported us in our new Shenanigans Headquarters!  We are having so much fun and hope you will continue to join us in our happy crafting space!
  3. THANK YOU to all of you who sent your little elves to us last weekend to create fabulous gifts for their friends and families.  We felt like this was the perfect way to start the holiday season.  We still have a few spots left in our Saturday morning Elf Workshop this Saturday, December 7.  You can register here.
  4. THANKS to all of your for the generous donations of craft supplies, recyclables, paper, and more.  We appreciate every bit of it.  We need to slow down a bit on our intake until we can get our basement organized.  Email us or call us (608-301-5080) if you have questions about donating something.  We can always use cash!  

And now……drumroll……our gift to you:

In January, we would like to offer our after school studio sessions (Arty Afternoon–1.5 hours each) for $8.00 each rather than $15.00!!  That means our punch cards will be $80 for 10 classes (Including 3 hour Wacky Wednesdays!).  PLUS, at no extra cost, we will have a special Shenanigans bus pick kids up from Black Earth School on Wednesdays and from the Wisconsin Heights Middle School/High School on Thursdays!!  This will start January 6, 2014.

You can purchase a gift certificate for the new punch cards throughout December because we think they will make WONDERFUL holiday gifts!!
