{ Free Craft Workshops for Kids! } Lowes Build & Grow

Ok, if you know anything about me by now (shame on you if you don't), then you'll know that I love any activity that's FREE! And this is a pretty cool one. Read on. Read on...

I found out about these workshops through my dad. Well, kind of. He brought this magnet home and it remained plastered against our refrigerator for months before I actually took the time to read past the "Lowes" logo (shame on ME, I know)!

Ok, so here are the deets (eh hem, as in "details" of course). You register your "littles" online at http://lowesbuildandgrow.com for the workshop(s) you'd like to take them to, print out the registration form & then show up at your local Lowes on the scheduled date & time. That's it! Well, don't forget your child of course (it CAN happen)...

Once you're there, each child receives a free apron, goggles and a wood kit they can build. And the fun continues after they're done too. For each completed project, your child(ren) are given a certificate & a custom project badge which can be attached to their apron as a sign of their previous accomplishments (I was instructed that hot glue works best). Honestly, like I really need any additional incentive past the "free" part to be excited! Everything is quite literally a bonus!

There are upcoming workshops until the end of December! I suggest signing up directly in-store so that you can block off your space. And you can choose to go at 10am, 12noon or 2pm. The next two upcoming workshops (pictured above) are:

>> Santa Sleigh with Reindeer - November 19, 2011 and
>> Train (Part 1) - December 3, 2011
  
Cost is FREE, so don't forget to sign up!

{ FREE Event } Festival of the Masters

Who's NOT in love with crafts... and Mickey Mouse?! I'm salivating over this event because it's sponsored by Michaels (LOVE) and Disney (more LOVE)! Definitely the place to be if you're an artist of any kind!

If you're in the Central FL area, mark off your calendars for next Friday, Saturday & Sunday because it's promised to be filled with a lot of creativity, wonderful art, jewelry & tons of Disney-inspired whimsy at the Festival of the Masters! I may just see you there, and if that's the case, it's definitely a date and we're all getting lucky!

Oh, and do NOT commit a sin by forgetting to visit Ghirardelli® Chocolate while you're there! They always give out FREE chocolate!!! <3 Yum.
