Grades/ages are merely a suggestion. I am flexible
if you would like siblings in the same class for scheduling convenience.
Please just ask! A registration form is attached for you to print.
Please make sure you fill out one form per person-it makes things much
less confusing for me! Art classes are MESSY- please make sure your

Kyla Miller Foundation
DILLSBURG, PA - Kyla Miller Foundation, a not-for-profit
organization joining in the fight to end pediatric brain
cancer, announces a partnership with Artworks Studio in
Carroll, Iowa, to supply the foundation with the Heart
of an Angel bracelet.
Inspired by the courageous journey of Kyla Miller, a
local East Berlin girl that lost her battle with brain
cancer just before her tenth birthday, Laura Comito –
sister of KMF Board of Directors member and Kyla’s
oncologist, Dr. Melanie Comito – designed a sterling
silver and genuine Swarovski crystal bracelet that
represents Kyla’s essence and presence in the lives of
those who knew her and as an angel in heaven. The center
of the bracelet is a sterling silver cube etched with
Kyla’s heart on four sides. The cube is surrounded by
two pearls, symbolizing Kyla’s wings, followed by a gold
spacer on each side, representing Kyla’s halo. The
bracelet then includes ten purple Swarovski crystals,
representing the ten years of Kyla’s life, separated by
clear Swarovski crystals and sterling silver spacers.

Fabulous Bags!
What's so great about a
Fabulous Bag? It still fits even if you gain 5 lbs. Each handbag has
been to Rehab with the Fab-Bag Guru. She contemplates the strengths and
weaknesses of each piece and turns them from Ugly Ducklings to Swans all
with the stroke of a paintbrush, Swarovski crystals, vintage trims and
fabrics and other lovely gewgaws. As seen in the 2008 Nov/Dec
issue of the Iowan Magazine these Fabulous Bags are going to be hot this
holiday season! Oooh and did I mention that Hillary owned a
Fabulous Bag that she then autographed and donated to a charity auction.
Fabulous is as Fabulous does!
