Hi Jenni!

I called Sofa and inquired about the Jewelry Design Capsule... I think it's probably just a typo on your part. It's on April 16 (Sat) not April 26 as posted on your blog. Just to let you know so you can change it. :)

Jenni Epperson said...

Thanks for the correction. I just copy/pasted what was emailed to me. It's April 26 too on the poster.

Amina said...

Hey Jenni! its a TYPO on our part. I emailed you a follow up email that we made a mistake with date.

Jewelry Design is on APRIL 16 :)

Sorry about that!
