ArtBliss is a new series of workshops that encompass jewelry design and mixed media from inte …

I hope you join and help make it a fun time and meet fantastic people. All skill levels welcome.

The sale I am most familiar with is Arlington's Civitan Sale, one Sunday each month from April through Octo …
