G2) Holiday Shopping
Don't forget the Homeschool HUB when you do your holiday shopping. There is an associate store full of homeschool-related items on our website http://hshub.org/Associate_Store.html and there's a link on the main page of our website that takes you to amazon.com. If you want to check out what's for sale at amazon (avoid the rush in stores and have everything shipped right to your home or to friends/relatives who live far away!), then use our link and help out the HUB. It costs you nothing. Thank you, and have a wonderful holiday season!

2) Winter Art Classes
Dear Parents, Students, and friends of New Creations,
The holidays are upon us, and I am thinking about the amazing time we are going to have this winter as we explore printmaking. I wanted to give you ample time to consider these classes. Printmaking is the precursor to the whole area of Graphic Design and image explosion that we have in our culture today. Older students will work with carving tools to create images in linoleum and rubber. Younger students will work with safer methods of pressing an image into Styrofoam. Thank you for your continued support of these classes and allowing me the wonderful opportunity to teach and inspire! Please feel free to send this information on to others who may be interested in the classes.
Blessings,
Gloria Seitz
Art Instructor
