[Nfb-krafters-korner] future beading classes

[Laurie Porter]

Sure, I'll keep you posted. Are you saying you want kits? I do not provide
kits for all the classes. Just the bead weaving classes. I don't see the
need to provide samples for the stringing classes and you can use whatever
beads you have on hand for those stringing classes.
