We can accommodate up to 12 kids for 2 1/2 hours, provide all supplies for crafts & sewing, party games, & a fun treat or two. The birthday family supplies the cake, food, drinks, paper products & related birthday party items. Price varies according to the craft or sewing choice - phone Mary Lindquist at 734.429.2900 (just don't phone her on Tuesdays - she's not here then). And ..... your inner child also enjoys a make-and-take birthday party! Other celebratory reasons work, as well: retirement, finding the job of your dreams, or just because.
