The items on the supply list are specific for a reason. They work.  They are the tools I use every day in my work and will help you be successful. After checking your supplies at home, please be sure to order everything you need from the website so you are properly prepared. Having the right tools will make all the difference in the world for your pleasure and success.  Remember, in a Virtual class there will not be a product table for you to purchase items from during class if you find your tools are not working.  I would hate for you to be frustrated and discouraged.  I truly desire for you to have the best possible experience in my class.
