Posted: August 2, 2008
Many people take classes as an escape… so please drop your kids off at a sitter or leave them home with Dad. Out of respect to the instructor and the others who have paid for the class, please don’t bring children (under 12) and babies to class with you unless they are in a photograph you are going to glue to your project.
