Wish List...

Did we mention that you can make your own customized Wish List? It's easy and fun to do, come "Faux Shop" for yourself and make your own Wish List for the Holidays, Birthday or any other special occasion. Now all of those people who say "You're so hard to shop for" can come into Mystic Paper and we'll print them out your customized Wish List. We'll even help them shop for your special items. Fun for you, and easy for them!

Who would ever guess that you might want some skeleton paper, some flux for soldering and a melting pot?! (This is an actual Wish List pile of goodies)

A little of this and a little of that...

That's what today's blog is about. This is a super cute workshop that will be taught on Saturday, December 8th 2:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M. The cost is $10.00 and you will leave with two of these...

Who doesn't give gift cards to at least some of your friends or relatives?

This way you are still giving them something personally made by you as well as the Gift Card!

This is the second workshop that will be taught on Saturday, December 8th from 5:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M. The cost is $10.00 and you will have the perfect little gift book, or gift card holder for that special coffee lover in your life. You can personalize it to fit that caffeinated person that is dear to your heart.

Saturday December 8th is going to be a busy day in Mystic Paper's new classroom. This soldering class called "Charming Charms" will be taught that morning 10:00 A.M. - 1:30 P.M. with Josie Cirincione. Soldering small charms is one of the hardest things to solder. Learn the technique from a pro and you'll go home and start making all kinds of jewelry!

Are you still looking for some gorgeous double sided Christmas paper? I think Mystic Paper may have just what you're looking for! This gorgeous paper is made by Webster's Pages and is called Winter Wonderland.

There are twelve sheets of double sided paper in each pack.

Ooohhhhh Aaaahhhhh! (Kim might mean Falalalalaaaahhh! -jw)

And two metallic 8 1/2 x 11 sheets. And the best part is they are now on sale, and of course we have a limited supply!

We are also completely restocked with Figgy Pudding, more designs than the last order that we received. So if you are ready to start making Christmas cards now is the time to get all of your papers and embellishments.

Make and Take at Mystic Paper's Creative Cafe this Thursday!

That's right, come join Kim at the Creative Cafe this Thursday for a free Make and Take.

Many people have come by or called to ask, "just what is the Creative Cafe- really"? The Creative Cafe is such a new experience that it does require some explaination. Have you ever been to a smorgasbord that is just full of different kinds of food to eat? Well, the Creative Cafe is just like a smorgasbord for crafters! You will find a counter surrounded with bins of buttons, tags, flowers, tags and more. We have a stunning double sided paper line along with exclusive embellishments and rub-ons. This line is color coordinated and very versatile. This free little make and take will give you a chance to see what it's all about!

So come check it out this Thurday from 12:00 P.M. to 2:00 P.M. and also from 6:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. to make this cute little bird at the Creative Cafe. If you have yet to use a die-cut machine you will get to experience the Accu-cut Machine to cut out the bird. We will also be using the Scor-it board, a little glue and some ribbon. Quick, simple and free!
