The Scent of
Christmas
What better way to say Christmas than to
have the fresh fragrance of greenery in your home? Join DCMG Judy Cobb,

competitions, and learn how to make a Williamsburg swag, that mixture of
greens, cones, fruit and berries that our forefathers used to embellish
their homes during the holiday season.
In her class you will assemble your own fresh swag to take home and
learn techniques to help you create other designs. Judy will also
demonstrate a Christmas mailbox design, a pot-et-fleur, and a dining
room table design.

Thursday, December l, 10:00 AM. Sign up today. The class is limited to
