Free china hutch

Measures 46”w x 82” h x 18” deep, Golden Oak stain.

The top hutch has glass doors and a glass shelf.

The bottom buffet has two drawers and a double door storage.

(the back of the bottom buffet got damaged in the move, but doesn’t affect the stability or usage and only shows when you open and look in the back)

Overall, it’s still in great shape.

If interested, please EMAIL Karisa at walkerclan@woh.rr.com. We’d prefer if you made arrangements to transport it, but you may be able to talk my husband into moving it. It’s not super heavy. We will give it to the one that can take it the quickest.

February Craft

This month we are making fridge magnets. Each of these are very cute and do not take any talent-so you don’t have to be a “crafter” to join us! You have four choices to choose from:

1. Tile magnets-set of 5- vinyl lettering on 2” square ceramic tiles

2. Cutsie magnets-set of 3-measure 2” x 3” painted wooden magnets with vinyl lettering

3. Scripty magnets-same as number 2 but with a more formal font

4. “Look what ______ made!” These are around 8” long and 1 1/2” inches wide, painted wood, and you personalize with your child’s name. Then use them to display all of your child’s artwork.

Each set is $1. You may choose ONE (unless you’re doing the personalized ones which you can do enough for all your kids).

When: Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 8pm (put the kids to bed and then head on over!)

Where: Karisa Walker’s

All supplies will be provided. You must place your order and pay by Tuesday.

Any questions, call Karisa at 306-2355.

(PS The coloring is off on the picture and I'm not sure why. But they look great! --Jocelyn)
