I would like to purchase Rhapsody as a kit. Please let me know when it becomes available, Thanks.
Carol, I can’t provide this outside of a class situation. I will be teaching Rhapsody at the ANG National Seminar in Atlanta, then at least one other place later in the year, then eventually on-line. Thanks for your interest! Debbie
