We will also be folding pages from magazines to make into ‘leaf’ mobiles or to decorate the tops
of your boxes.

As Seen on TV a new store focusing on TV infomercial products, has recently opened in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek. They are located on the backside of the plaza, near Macy’s. As I am loyal Tivo user, I haven’t seen an infomercial in many years. Anything worthwhile checking out?
