Some of my favorite "little" scrappers! These kids come every month, rain or shine! Each one of them brings somthing unique to the class. Ben has an amazing artistic ability...and I mean really amazing. Erica tells great jokes and makes fun of me! McKenzie is quiet but that's why she gets the star for most pages completed. Lexi has so much fun adding "fluff" and other extras to her many completed pages. Ahhh, they're so much fun! See you kids next month, too!

If your kids live in Bishop and the surrounding area and would like to participate in my monthly Kids' Club Scrapbooking class, contact me! I'd love to have them.
