Trick or Treat?

The Tiniest Trick or Treaters!

Today we had tons of little people walking around Downtown Mesa Trick or Treating.
These were some of my favorite costumes.

Two Little Monkeys!
Is that the sweetest little monkey you ever saw?

And this had to be our FAVORITE COSTUME~
This little guy had a problem with a shark! That shark just wouldn't let go of his swim trunks.
ADORABLE!
And I love the Mohawk too!

Happy Halloween!

Remember Halloween..


This reminds me of Halloween when I was a small child. I know, I'm dating myself aren't I?
Have a safe and chocolate filled holiday!

Latest Happenings in the Shop!

NEW! Basic Grey...

Little Black Dress Papers.

Gorgeous. Which goes without saying...lacy, black, & even some leopard print, all double-sided cardstock papers.
Some fun embellishments.


Picadilly is Basic Grey's other line we received!
This line is full of fun farmgirl patterns. Reminescent of Grandma's flour sack aprons, kitchen curtains and wallpaper.


We also have the 6x6 paper pads in each design, some cute cling mount rubber stamps, and chipboard embellishments.

Here is a little sneak peek of today's Spooky Panel Class with Jack & Cat Curio!
I think this is the beginning of all the crazy. Tons of fabric manipulation techniques.



And as always, everyone's turned out SUPER SPOOKY!
I'm glad everyone had fun in class today. Thanks Mike & Lesley!

Sometimes the messier the class...

The better the project!

Some Fun Classes This Past Week...
It's hard to keep up with all of them. Last Saturday we had two great classes going on at the same time. Upstairs in our little Studio 34 was Shirley the Artsy Fartsy Fairy and her Haunted Halloween Spider House! As you can see by this fun mess that this was the class to get your hands a little bit sticky in. Look at all the fun things they had to work with. Everyone's little haunted house was amazing! Shirley has her annual Christmas Countdown class coming up on November 19th. That is sure to be another classic fun filled class. Check out our Class Page on the website for more details!



Downstairs in the Classroom...
We had Jenny aka the Polka Dot Pixie teaching her Spooky Love class.
This was another fun messy class! Paper clay and glue and paints and glitter.
Everyone's spooky little couple turned out so cute!
Jenny's next class the Snowpixie Cottage will be on December 10th, that's on our website as well.

This month on Wednesday's we've had Jack & Cat show students tricks of the trade with BEESWAX! Another fun and definitely messy class~ and the outcome has been amazing!
This Wednesday is their last of the Beeswax Open Lab for the month and it's already half full, so if you want to save a spot for yourself you'd better call in quick!

Just Added to the Class Schedule!

There is so much going on in October...

Zombies vs. Robots

Most shops and restaurants will remain open until 10:00 P.M.
Including Mystic Paper!

We will be hosting our "LIVE" ATC (Artist Trading Card) Swap
October 14th, and will start at 7:00 P.M.
Mesa's Second Friday's Theme this month is Zombies vs. Robots and keeping with this theme, our swap's theme will be Zombies or Robots! Either one, it really doesn't matter,
I like them both.
It does not compute...

Join the Zombie fun this 2nd Friday, October 14th with our neighbors at Evermore Nevermore! Bring two cans of food or $2 to donate to the Mesa United Food Bank, you will be able to get your own piece of unique art painted live by a real undead Zombie artist! This is going to be a show so mind-blowing that a zombie would never consider eating a brain that has viewed these images! YIKES!
