Coffey Time - November, 2013

Coffey Time is written by the first of each month. Updates are posted as needed during the month and can easily be seen in ***Updates*** at the top of the newsletter. If Joan is a participant in an event, that fact will be mentioned, and her artworks will be mentioned and/or shown.

You can easily print out "Coffey Time". Just press here. This moves you to a screen showing the pdf with a print option at the top. Although all of the factual information will be included, it is possible that not all of the images will be on the printout, and the format is different.


"Coffey Time"is always on this website, and subscribers are notified monthly when it is posted and occasionally for updates. If you would like to be added to the subscriber list, please email joan@coffeycreations.com. Similarly, email her if you no longer want to be notified of postings.
