"Thank you so much, Kira!!! All of your workshops have been so helpful. They are things that I haven't taken the time for before, and that can be somewhat dry to read about, but you made them all interesting and applicable to me. I'm looking forward to putting all the tidbits to use." - Alyson
"GREAT class!! Learned a lot and had a great time as well! Thanks so much!" - Patty
