Why would "he" be shopping in Mystic Paper?
Creepy! I honestly thought about calling 911.
He's pretty serious! Taking notes and all.
Happy Halloween! Have you guessed who it is yet?

Are you still thinking about taking the Acrylic Overlay Class?
Think quick because you'll have two more chances before Christmas!
Leslie created this painting of her cute pup in the last class. We also have to give her credit for the photos since we didn't have our camera available. Thanks Leslie!
Loved this one! Bright and cheery. A little Age of Aquarius maybe!
One student painted Princess Diana.
This student was just 15 years old and obviously very artistic.
Can you see the variety of paintings that were created in this class?
We loved this one, but then again we are very vintage aren't we?
The sky is the limit on what you can paint. And, we can't stress enough, this doesn't take painting experience. Sandy's next class is on Tuesday, November 11, 11:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M.
Her last class of the year (can you believe that) is on Saturday, December 6th, 10:00 A.M. - 2:00 P.M. Call the store to sign up. This class always fills up, so if you're thinking about it you better call!

Distressed About Distress Inks?
This group certainly isn't anymore. Mike took them through the steps that he learned at Ranger U. They made lots and lots of tags and learned more techniques than they thought possible in one evening. Tony (I think that's his name) came to pick up mom (Carol) and he couldn't get her to leave.
If you can't beat them, join them. And that's exactly what he did! His wife is an avid scrapper and a published one at that. He said "I see this stuff all over the house I may as well learn how to use it!"
One of his finished projects.
It was a great class and everyone left giddy over all that they learned. You should plan to join Mike in his next Technique Mystique classes. They are scheduled every Tuesday evening in November. You'll be glad you did!

Everyone needs to...
Shout out a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to Jennifer! It's her birthday today and I (Kim) am celebrating it by taking the day off. What kind of a business partner am I? I'll make it up to her! Happy Birthday roof top!
And, when you see this, could you fix it so it looks like a normal post. Blogger is not cooperating with me, and I have things to do!
