Hope you love this and I'll see you soon!

Hello!!

OK! Change of plans for this month...

I designed this unique napkin which we had been filming and was going to be this month's standard episode, BUT I am realizing it might be more useful to you if I show you how to make it from start to finish instead of a short video. This also enables me to explain in real time all the hurdles I hit in it's design. PLUS you can ask questions as we go!

This will be this Saturday at 3:00 PM (EASTERN TIME) I apologize for the mixup i...
