For those who are perfectionists, Never fear, I get it and I got you. The Workshop is for 2 hours, but for those who really get into their making, I'm happy to have you get in the zone and stay for 3. If you still haven't finished all your designs as you imagine, that's okay, because it does take a few days to cut everyone's coasters, you have a couple of days to e-mail me your finished perfect design. No procrastination though, you only get 3 days after the workshop to submit your finished design or I'll cut your snowflake digital art as your coaster and deliver it to you instead, I do this with love though, because life happens and I'd hate for Christmas to come and you not having finished your design or gotten your coasters by then, this way, no matter what happens you have some art coasters made by you by Christmas time.
