A Step Outside of the Box
I have had many run-ins with A Step Outside of the Box over the past few years. As a mother of three girls, I’ve attended quite a few parties at their dynamic store and still have many of the adorable crafts made at those birthday parties sprinkled throughout the house. I have also had the pleasure of seeing them in action with one of their many philanthropic efforts, Mountain of Mittens. I am now pleased to announce that A Step Outside of the Box will be offering the kids at Lettuce Rock an opportunity to bring home a craft of their own. Come and check them out. www.outsideofthebox.biz/
