Brittany was a saint with how patient she was with the beginners in the various classes that took place while we were there. We had such a fun time with the fusing class that we will definitely be coming back for the other classes! With the fusing class, flameworking classes, furnace experiences, and ornament making, there's something for everyone! And not only are the products for sale beautiful in design, but also reasonably priced! Really fun idea for date night or group activity!

Brittany was really good at keeping us "inspired" and showing us how to make different designs on our beads. This was an early Christmas present for my friends and was well worth the cost of the class. We will be back! DKM

Top of the line service and top of the line knowledge…read more We lost our family dog last week, and as I was looking through photos of her for memories, I realized we had loose pictures of her as a puppy without the original digital files. I made the attempt to scan them myself, however the images kept coming out dusty and blurry. I began to panic that I would never be able to reproduce these precious photos. I came upon Camera Outfitters online and brought my photos by to check out their services. They were able to scan the originals to high quality as digital files for me to keep forever. They were so kind and helpful, and even went out of their way to touch some of the images up. I cannot begin to tell you how much it means to my family that they could preserve these precious few images we have of our beloved dog. You must check out Camera Outfitters for any of your camera/photo needs.

She is an encourager, a wiring community builder, and a connector. I've been introduced to other writers through Melissa who have become friends. Others have become collaborators and we've reviewed each other's work. She often invites other authors to provide a writing workshop. Try taking a class with Melissa though. I appreciate that her pricing makes writing courses accessible. I've definitely paid more for instruction and felt like I received less. She has a monthly newsletter on Substack filled with juicy writing information.

Rawls Hall! This…read morepicture posted here is indeed part of Krannert School of Management, but is the lovely Jerry S. RAWLS HALL building exactly next door to the Krannert Building. I did nearly all of my graduate classes right here and the building is 4 stories inside and beautiful. The second floor has a coffee/deli shop. Then, if you reaully need a quick cheap and easy drink, you can walk right next door to Harry's on your lunch break. Do NOT get drunk at lunch. We are business students.... Wait until after class. *wink* Oh the memories! Rawls Hall is equipped with the best classrooms I have had in my entire educational career and among all my degrees. The chairs are all comfy rockers and can be raised and lowered. This is silly, but hugely important for ergonomics and typing on your laptop sometimes notes for up to 8 hours a day! There are electric plugs and internet outlets for each seat so you always have a charged laptop and internet access if you are having connection problems with your Purdue account at that time. There is a parking garage right behind here and Harry's Right beside it. It's a lovely building and I spent so much time there I am blessed. I do wish for more heat, sometimes I swear I wanted to bring a Snuggie to business school, but that doesn't look too professional!

And wow, are those students talented. There are rotating galleries. The best part is that this museum is free. For a fun afternoon, I highly recommend the Art Gallery of Greater Lafayette!
