January Excitement!

Happy New Year!

Hope your holiday season was fun and (relatively) stress-free! It's a new year and at Hilo Ben Franklin we have a lot of exciting stuff coming up!

One thing that we've been working on is more demos and Make N Takes! This week we had some awesome ones, including this coupon book:

You can check the calendar in-store or on the Joy of Crafting website to see what's coming up each week! And if you can't make it to the demo, stop by anyway and all of our friendly associates will help you figure out the project you're working on. Project sheets are available for many of our demos so just ask!

Another fun thing that's going on weekly is our Keiki Crafts! From 10a.m. - 12 noon on Saturdays, kids can join Linda in the classroom and work on a fun project. There is a small fee for supplies per child, and especially young children may need an adult to stay with them to help them out a little, but all the kiddies that attend have a great time and get to go home with a craft project they worked on!
This is an upcoming project for this next weekend. It's a Foamie Sign. I'm sorry it's not a color picture. Apparently the sample hasn't made it to the store yet, but I assure you it's awesome. It'll be a fun project for the kids!

So please make sure you check the calendar online or come by the store to pick one up. We have some amazing demos and every Saturday there are Make N Takes for both the kids and the adults, so don't miss out! (We're even bringing out the new Eclips machine soon!)

But before I go, I wanted to give you a heads up on something exciting coming up next month. We're bringing back our popular Paper Parties! Yay!! Keep checking back for more details on that. But February is the month.

Have a great week!!
