SUN, SAND AND...SEWING!

NARBERTH, PA (October 23, 2007) -  Just when you thought a vacation to one of Mexico's five-star, all-inclusive, family luxury resorts couldn't get much better...it has! 

The Handwork Studio, a Kids' Needle Arts and Fashion Studio located in suburban Philadelphia, will be taking its highly-regarded Kids Handwork/Craft Camp "on the road" to the Sunscape Puerto Aventuras Resort in Riviera Maya Mexico, July 12-19, 2008.

Besides the sun, sand and family fun, The Handwork Studio's Kids Craft Camp will include:

* Four 5-hour handwork instruction sessions which will include knitting, embroidery, crafts, and hand- and machine-sewing - perfect for children ages 5-14
* An enchanting sunrise knitting circle on the beach
* A family-fun parent/child snack and craft hour
* Sunset beach fashion show and reception
* An introduction to regional, native handwork
* Fantastic age- and gender-appropriate crafts including bathing suit cover ups, decorated flip flops and embellished beach totes for girls; beach backpacks, shorts, and more for boys
* A great craft supplies gift bag - knitting needles, yarn, embroidery needles, thread and more

Laura Kelly, founder of The Handwork Studio, joined forces with VacationKids.com to develop and market the Kids Craft Camp Mexican adventure.  "So often, kids and their families come back from a vacation with no more than sandy clothes and a few vague memories.  By taking The Handwork Studio's Kids Craft Camp to the Sunscape Puerto Aventuras Resort, kids will come home with much more.  They will have fun at the resort learning new crafting skills and then be able to take home this new expertise to further develop it on their own," says Kelly.
