We are excited to share that Debby's RELICS & ARTIFACTS® based class, Sacred Grace is sold out! Take a peek at the beauty her students will be able to learn and recreate!

The word, “sacred” is derived from Old French sacrer, which means to consecrate or dedicate. Each of our hearts holds a unique combination of courage, love, joy and tenderness, which are revealed daily through our actions, words and deeds. Won’t you take this journey with me as we honor or dedicate our hearts to love, romance, bravery and purpose.

On Wednesday Feb 4th say hello to Sandra Evertson and her band of chihuahuas and pick up some RELICS & ARTIFACTS® and browse through her samples at the Vivi Magoo Marketplace
