Share the fun of the holidays with a whimsical image your create!

We'll explore

The first holiday card was sent by Henry Cole in 1843. While sending greeting cards to friends and family during the busy month of December may less popular that it once was, spreading holiday cheer is still appreciated. Rather than sending a generic greeting, why not send your well wishes with your own unique image? And with all this new fangled technology, you can print and mail your greetings or share through your online social networks. Or both! 

If this sounds like fun, then join my 2 1/2 hour holiday card workshop. Once a year I take over the back room of Math ‘n Stuff in North Seattle and share my props, photo set-ups and even my toys. I set up multiple photo stations where you can place your personal toys and create your unique holiday image. Plus I will be working with you as needed to bring your ideas to life. 

I bring plenty of props, backdrops and winter themed scenery for you can play with. Hot tubs, Wampas, snow, reindeer and elves only hint at the fun props I will have on hand. This workshop was a big hit last year, and I expect we will have just as much fun this year!
