Michael's Ends Classes

Things are changing at Michael's Arts and Crafts stores, some good and some not so good, at least from my standpoint.  I've been the Paper Craft Instructor at Michael's in Lee's Summit, MO for the past two years and absolutely loved the experience.  I have also loved teaching crafting techniques, tricks and tidbits and being able to do that inside an Arts and Crafts store was flatout amazing!  But, time marches forward and the world changes and that applies even to Arts and Crafts Stores.

I have no idea why the Corporate decision makers decided to put a stop to all Instructor led classes and instead use only employee/store associates to lead their class demonstrations.  Instructor Choice classes were a way for the Instructors, working from Micheal's, to teach classes that were not corporate designed classes.

But everything is ok...  Michael's has graciously allowed me to continue teaching my classes from the classroom as long as there are no financial transactions inside. Yay! so, here we go...the NEXT CHAPTER, stay tuned.
