Remember one of my New Year's resolutions: "Learn something new"? This year, I'm going back to school. I hope to finalize everything by April.

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