Come to the party – North Notts Creation Station celebrates 1st birthday
One year ago, Anna Rossi, a single mum of two from Sherwood, made the ambitious decision to run her own children's art and craft franchise. Her Creation Station Exploration Sessions and Arty Parties held in venues across north Nottinghamshire have been a huge hit with youngsters and their parents/carers. Now Anna is inviting customers old and new to a special birthday event in Arnold to celebrate her first anniversary.
The two hour session is open to children up to 12 years old and will include the usual Creation Station mix of music and wonderfully messy art and craft fun plus there will be games, dancing and refreshments to keep everyone entertained. The cost is only £4.25 per child and siblings are just £1.00.
Anna Rossi said: "This past year has been hard work but I have thoroughly enjoyed working for myself and running my own business. It's great that I can fit my work around my family life.
"I can't believe the Creation Station in North Nottinghamshire is already one year old. During year two I would love to help more parents/carers to enjoy more fun with their young ones without any stress or mess for them. Children who come to our sessions really enjoy what we do and our magic box full of ideas helps to inspire any child's imagination no matter what age they are.
"The party invitation is open to everyone. If you have been to our sessions before then please come along and help us celebrate - it would be lovely to see you again. Anyone who doesn't know about the Creation Station is more than welcome to come along to chat about what we do and experience some creative fun."
