What is the closest airport to Springfield? I would love to go for the craft weekend, I will just have to plan ahead since I live in Los Angeles. But its worth the wait for sign-ups. Congrats on your dreams coming true.

It's official. I'm moving. :) You're only 10.5 hrs. from me. That's not at all a long drive. LOL If it weren't for the snow every once in awhile getting in the way I'd be fine to drive by myself. LOL I don't like to drive in snow, I'm from the South after all.
Seriously, this looks great. You girls have done a great job and I know the store is going to do great. I can't wait for the online class. I'm so excited and will be signing up when you annouce it.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Karina. We have an airport here in Springfield. The next closest one is in Kansas City, which is 3 hours away! We will post more details after the store opening, so keep checking back! Emma is working hard to organize it super well. She's a little genius! :D

just a little idea, but maybe you could make red velvet cupcakes for your march 6th party.
there was a great recipe featured on designsponge: http://www.designspongeonline.com/2009/01/in-the-kitchen-with-amy-butler.html
