Crafting Fun, All Summer Long!

Join us at Happy Up in Edwardsville for a whole summer of creativity and hands-on fun! Starting in June, we'll have a weekly "workshop" style event. And if you can't join in the fun, the activities are also available (mostly... some are still in transit!) as kits for you to use at home.

Reservations and pre-payment are required for each event.
Spaces are limited, so sign up today by giving us a call or stopping by!
