We Are Open!

Snow day is over and it's back to business. Paper Crown open today til 4. Be careful and see you soon!

Enjoy Your Snow Day

Due to the snow and ice Paper Crown will be closed on Friday. Hope it is a perfect day for some creating! Stay warm and be careful.

Santa Brought a Little Teaser

Santa must of wanted to get a little head start on some of his deliveries this year. These presents arrived this week ...

 

October Afternoon has decided to print a kind of " mini line" Daily Flash to tempt those obsessed with the Project Life craze. We received the 1st of the Daily Flash line which includes 3 mini lines and the embellishments. We always love the coloring with October Afternoon and these will not disappoint. There is a Christmas line, a Fall line, just in time for last week's Thanksgiving pictures and a school line.  Unfortunately, the albums and pages are arriving in the 2nd shipment (for those of you who took Debby Schuh's class this fall, you used the pages in her album- sorry Debbie- hopefully just a bit longer).

Just in time for your Daily Flash or Project Life, we have a second shipment of the 3x4 punch. This will fly out of the store so if you have been waiting,  I would give me a call. Hint- this is the perfect size to make your own Christmas tags. That might be the perfect project for later this week when the snow and ice hit.

 

We are always looking for a cute baby line and for some reason it can be difficult to find a cute one but I think we hit the jackpot.

Just out of the dye pot, some perfectly aged ribbon for your vintage projects.

 

 

 

 

Tonight is Jackie's Christmas Journal class, don't forget your supplies listed on Jackie's blog, Good Grief Girdie, and please try to be on time. It will be a busy evening.

 

 

It sounds like now might be a good time to review our inclement weather policy- if the Oklahoma City schools are closed, chances are Paper Crown will be also. If the weather is ify, it is best to call the store first before you head out. If the weathermen are correct we will be snowed/ iced in on Friday so swing by the store the next few days to get everything you need for your holiday projects!

Shop Small- Stay Local

Today, Saturday November 30th is Small Business Saturday. It is a great time to prompt those businesses that are local. When you shop these stores, restaurants and even banks, your money stays in your community where you live and your children go to school. I encourage you to stay local today, we have so many wonderful choices in the OKC area and it is a perfect time to support your community. Shop small- Stay Local!

Wishing You a Happy Thanksgiving!

 

I  hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving full of family and good food.

 

 I count all of you I have meet through

Paper Crown as one of my blessings!

 

Happy, Happy Thanksgiving!

 

 

 

Paper Crown will close on Wednesday at 3pm and reopen Friday at 10am

Thanksgiving Table

Just a few goodies we have at the store that will give your Thanksgiving table a new look...

Love these lanterns. I have a couple of styles at the store and have used them to decorate all over my house- dining table, foyer dresser, lining the stairs & coffee table. These are my current favorite decorating item-the possibilities are endless.
  

Another staple in my decorating is cake stands. I have a ton and use them often. The perfect solution if you need height and they also work great for cake  : )

Fall place cards by one of our favorite companies , or if you are feeling creative...

Wheat stamp by Tim Holtz would make a beautiful place card.

 

Fun craft for the kid's table- autumnal paper chain. An easy craft to give the kiddos something to do while you are busy I the kitchen 

Love these willow candle baskets, inexpensive and perfect for just a tea light at the dining table. The little bird baths have also made it to my table; they come in cream, patina green and gray.
 

The double willow milk bottle holders are perfect for flowers. A pretty bunch from Whole Foods would fill several holders and not break the bank. I love the harvest,  rustic look for a Thanksgiving table.

These cute fall sacks could hold a tag stating what each guest is thankful for.


Just a few last minute Thanksgiving ideas.

Paper Crown will close
on Wednesday at 3 pm
and reopen Friday at 10am.



 

Despite the Cold, Glitter Market Was a Hit

With all the sleet icy and cold north wind that blew in to OKC on Friday I was a little unsure about Glitter Market this year but check out these dedicated patrons who were braving the chill at least an hour and a half before we opened the doors. A special thank you to you crazy girls, you are what makes Glitter Market such a success - I hope rest of your day was warm and toasty.

We had a great group of vendors this year and as always, a fantastic and loyal group of Glitter Market customers who are so very supportive of our artists. Vendors this year were..

Medeah and Peggy

Nicole

Robin, wish I had recorded your Soul Train dance



Charlotte, love this pic. 

Darling Duo Susan & Janet

Yes, I had to take these vendor pics from Jackie's blog because I'm always running around like a crazy person the morning of Glitter Market and I didn't get a pic of Jackie and Kay from Saturday- sorry girls; (

Newbie Heather

 

And last but not least, Bobbie

 

Ladies thank you again for all the time, energy and help you put into Glitter Market. Your work is amazing and I'm so glad we have an opportunity to share with those outside of the store. Thank you also for all your help in planning, promoting, setting up and tearing down. There is no way it would be possible without your help. Thank you also to your families who have had to sacrifice and help for Glitter Market. It truly is a family affair. A special thank you also to Heather Ales. Heather has been busy creating for weeks and packed up the car very, very early Saturday am in Dallas only to have to turn around after she crossed the border due to poor road conditions. Thank you for trying Heather and we will see you next time.

 

 

 

 

Thank you to Cheri who was gracious enough to come help us out. I have to agree with Debbie, marriage and motherhood are definitely agreeing with you- you have NEVER looked prettier or happier. Cheri came back later in the afternoon with baby Grant but no pictures because I was too busy hogging him!

 

Thank you also to Linley for helping me run errands the morning of Market. You were a huge hit and as always it is so very good to see you!

 

 

I would say that despite old man Winter we had a wonderful Glitter Market and thank you again patrons, vendors and families for ALL your help and support. I am thankful for each and every one of you!
