Super exciting news for anyone who loves online classes, family-friendly crafts, DIY, fitness and any other sort of hobby or self-improvement. The people from Craftsy have expanded their already amazing selection of online classes to include even MORE categories and interests. They’ve changed the name to Blueprint.

They’ve got every kind of class and project you can imaging. Check out a couple of their pet photography classes and learn to take better pics of your fur kids and human kiddos!

I’m especially looking forward to trying their yoga classes since I LOVE doing yoga but don’t like the schedule at our local places that offer it. That’s one of the great things about online classes…they work on your schedule, not the other way around.

Right now you can watch ALL their classes for FREE with a 7 Day Free Trial at BluePrint. 24/7 on any device.
