📦 SURPRISE! WE’RE UNBOXING AGAIN! 📦

A BIG shipment just arrived at Hen & Chicks Studio, and since I’ll be gone until Tuesday, there’s no way I can let all of these boxes sit here unopened! 😂

So… we’re doing a SECOND LIVE UNBOXING today!

⏰ Join me TODAY, September 3, at 5 PM Central on our page!

What’s inside all these boxes? New fabric? New goodies? Something we absolutely have to start a new project with? There’s only one way to find out!

Come hang out with me as we open the boxes together and see what might inspire your next creative project. 🧵✂️💗
