I NEED A VACATION!!!

Have you ever said that or thought that but knew that it was impossible to have a vacation on YOUR budget? Well, you MUST come to MOPS this Tuesday to hear from Melanie Snodgrass, Tracy Teachout's sister! She is going to be sharing her tips and secrets about vacationing on a budget in our morning AND evening sessions. She is a mom who likes to take her family on trips and has mastered the art of vacationing on little money.


After her insightful talk, we will be making art for our homes...using letters! If you have a favorite pattern of scrapbooking paper, please bring it with you or you can choose from the stack that we have. Here is the one that I made!



It is sure to be a fun MORNING and EVENING!!
