Almost everyone has created a personal shrine sometime in their life. Perhaps yours was a memorabilia collection from your favorite quarterback. Maybe it was a mound of Star Wars crapola. Who are we kidding? It was probably the photos, locks of hair, and nail clippings you kept from your high school crush.

Of course, all of that would be too big or too creepy to carry around with you every day. Luckily, Bookman's Entertainment Exchange is offering a Pocket Shrine class. Grab a matchbox, a bag of random paper, small objects, and newspaper clippings to assemble your own personal mini-shrine to your favorite loved one or deity.

Seating is limited so be sure to call and get yourself registered.
