Please note that you DO NOT OFFICIALLY HAVE A RESERVED SPACE IN THE CLASS until you get a confirmation email from me saying that you have a reserved space in the class.  The paypal links don't have the ability to stop accepting payment once the class limit has been reached. We will only keep and process your payment if you have signed up in time to secure one of the class slots before the class sells out. If your payment is received after all the slots have been filled, we will put you on a waiting list and your payment will be returned to you. In no other circumstances are the class payments refundable. After your payment has been made, I will reach out to you via email to confirm your name, address, and phone number. After I have received that information, then I will send out an email confirming you have an official reserved space in the class. If you have not heard from me within a few days after making your payment, please email Vicci at snoopyave@aol.com
