Oh What FUN!!

Chris had another paper marbling class this week and we all were squealing like little kids. If you haven't taken this class you really need to try it out ; it is simply magical. We have another paper class in the works for January and a fabric marbling class in February. Dates have not been set yet but be on the look out.
 
 

 

 



 
 






 
 


 










 
 Friday was our last class for 2015. What a fun and creative year we have had at Paper Crown. I'm not sure exactly how many classes we have had throughout the year but my bet would be between 75-100- that's a lot of glue sticks and even more laughs and sharing. This year the store has been dubbed by several as their " happy place." I honestly can not think of a higher compliment. Every time someone refers to the store as their " happy place" I beam like a proud mom and sometimes get a little teary. It is especially ironic since as some of you know, when I purchased the store almost 10
years ago it was the saddest time of my life and I really couldn't imagine anything even remotely happy. Thank you everyone for making Paper Crown "my happy place" without the wonderful friends that walk through the door it would just be store!
 
 
 
 
 What a perfect ending to 2015! A special Thank you to Jackie for providing us another year of magic. Your creativity is unending and in a class all its own.
 
We ALL wish a speedy and complete recovery to our dear friend Beth. Classes just aren't the same without you!

Finally! Back to Normal

I am glad to tell the ice storm from Thanksgiving GOOD BYE! Even though it has been in the 70s this week I have still been dealing with the after affects- at least until yesterday afternoon. Some great gifts have arrived at the store and more are scheduled for the next few days.

 We have a large selection of adult coloring books- the perfect present for your artistic or not so artistic friend. The perfect solution to a stressful day shopping at the mall.


 New shipment of the Character Construction Vintage Christmas stamps including the new Santa used in Jackie's class this Friday



 Love these new stamps and especially the winter girls. They are just begging to be watercolored




Complete selection of Tim Holtz Distress Markers- the new color for December, Candied Apple,  just released last Friday should be at the store next week.
 
 These markers with a very fine tip are perfect for the more detailed coloring books
 
Christmas to Color is back in stock! This is the book Nan has been using to create such gorgeous pictures





Don't forget the Paper Marbling Class tonight from 5:30-8:30 with Chris. It is sold out but a January date will be coming soon.

Jackie's Santa Tag Class is tomorrow from 5:30-8:30.

A Couple of Openings Still For Tonight


Just in time for your Christmas or New Year's cards! We still have a couple of openings in Krystal's Beginning Brush Calligraphy Class tonight, Mon., Dec. 7th from 6-8. You will learn the basics of brush calligraphy and practice the lower case alphabet. With some practice, your holiday cards could have that extra flourish!

Cost for beginning class is $60 and includes all supplies and plenty to take home to practice. This will be the last Brush Calligraphy class for 2015 and the perfect activity for that cold winter's night.

To sign up call Paper Crown at 405 848-2389.
