Dear ,

Wow, it's December already...time just flies away.

This coming Monday, December 5th, we will paint at Old Town Pizza from 12 - 3 p.m. It is located at the corner of Delaware and 2nd Street (Hwy 101) in the McNair Building.

My phone is 541-347-4643 or cell is 541-297-6118. If you have any good ideas of places to paint in bad weather, please let me know. :)

Don't forget the Holiday Craft Fair at HarborTown Event Center in Old Town.
