Honestly, if you sent it to the list and sent it to me off list that would
probably be the best. That way you get folks on the list to make comment
if they are interested and I would keep your off list email to remind me.
I sometime like to contact the person who asked for the class to check if
they have a preference of day of the week or time. I can't always get times,
but if I know what days work I will contact the teacher and suggest that.

Hi Joyce,
As far as suggesting previous classes be repeated, would it be more
appropriate to request this on-list? Or, would you rather I contact you
off-list about this?
Thanks, and have a great week!
In Christ, Miranda

We encourage you to take a class or if a class has gone by and you really
would like to take one of those just let me know and if there is enough
interest we repeat classes that are popular.
Folks have asked me about doing another Fun Making Soap class and I will
plan another one in the next few months.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm getting excited to do this! I'll look in
to
soapmaking kits at my local craft stores.

Hi Miranda and welcome to the list, here are any number of crafts that
the
blind can do and it does take some exploring to find what you enjoy
doing.
We have crocheters, needle knitters, loom knitters, quilters, plastic
canvas, oragami makers, beaders, soap makers on here, just to name a few.
For a quick and easy craft what about soap making, especially natural
soaps, I know there are kits available at craft stores, that are real easy
to do, they contain most everything you'd need such as the mold and stuff
to make the soap, then you could just buy more of the soap supplies and
maybe a few different kinds of molds.
Just a suggestion
Again, welcome and hope this helps a little, Barb R
