I’m so glad we are in our club together. I can’t wait to see what all we are able to do and learn this year! Here is a recap of the supplies, and a couple of websites to go to if you’re interested in looking at information between now and our next meeting. Let me know if you have any suggestions, ideas, or questions!!

 Supplies:

•  Penholder – oblique (if you’re a lefty, you  may need to check on a special lefty holder)
