Do you struggle to put your feelings into words? Sometimes, sharing emotions is easier through images rather than text. Join us in creating a watercolor postcard that you can send to someone special to uplift their spirits or express your appreciation for them. By the end of the session, you can take your postcard home, or if you prefer, we can mail it for you. (If you choose to have us mail it, please bring the recipient's address with you on that day.)
