Mamma Mia, here we go again…

Come for some crafting, with the movie Mamma Mia! on in the background. We’ll be decorating mini picture frames (that fit instax or polaroid).

If you haven’t seen it, or haven’t seen it in a while, Mamma Mia! is about a bride-to-be in Greece that attempts to solve the mystery of her paternity by reading her mother’s diary. Based on the popular ABBA-inspired stage musical.
