My friend Susan Mostek teaches art classes at an independent craft store in Estes Park, CO. Rocky Mountain Memories is located in historic Old Town along the river walk. The setting is picture perfect for inspiring stamp and scrapbook art. Owner Cheryl Grigsby not only stocks the store with pretty and unique products she's also willing to demonstrate the latest techniques to those who ask.

Need something sparkly to give to your Secret Santa? Want to make unique cards for your family? Or perhaps you'd like to preserve your family photos in an attractive way. Look over the shelves (some crafted by Cheryl's husband Rick out of recycled boardwalk) for stamps, glitter, paper, ink and more arranged to inspire. Cheryl can get you started or guide you to one of the classes offered at RMM.

Share your passion for crafting this December in classes that benefit soldiers overseas or local nursing home residents. Or take an art card class with Susan (space is limited). If you're not in the area, you can visit vicariously through their website and order products online. Cheryl, Rick and Cody thank you for visiting :)
