<br />
We have gotten our class schedule partially finished, and I will post it here as soon as it is done.<br />
<br />
The first class currently on the schedule is for Saturday morning, January 19 from 9 - 11. Terri will introduce you to the world of making polymer clay beads and cabochons. The cost of this class is $20 and includes all of your materials.<br />
<br />
That afternoon, Mary will help you make Valentines with her own special flair.<br />
<br />
The 26th, in the morning, Cindy will have a version of the Accordion Card just right for Spring.<br />
<br />
As usual, our ever-popular Crafting A-La-Carte is available in a variety of daytime and evening time-frames.<br />

What is Crafting A-La-Carte? It is time we have set-aside for a class, but we do not schedule anything until someone reserves that time. The first person to reserve the time chooses what the topic will be and any others that sign up will take that class as well. We have over 200 classes we can teach, please check our <a href="http://www.themercantilestore.com/">website</a> for a list of classes & descriptions. If you wish to see a photo, please let us know and we can send you one, or you can stop by to see. We do need 24 hour advance notice for the A-La-Carte classes so we may be prepared. Please note that there may be a small number of classes that we cannot do on that short a notice because of special supplies needed.<br />
<br />
Remember, spaces fill fast, call today to reserve your space. <br />

Good morning fellow creative people!<br />
<br />
We have so much fun planned for the Carolina Shop Hop! Mary & Cindy are holding eClips demos and Make-n-Takes on Saturday. (The two of them were both recently certified as eClips Instructors by Sizzix!) The demos will be at 11:00 AM, 1:30 PM & 3:30 PM... the Make-n-Takes will be between the demos. The demos will last about 15 - 20 minutes each so there will be plenty of time for you to play with eClips generated goodies!<br />
<br />
Don't forget, we will be OPEN special hours on Sunday (10/21) from 1 - 4 PM!<br />
<br />
The remainder of the Hop Terri, Cindy & Mary plan a variety of Make-n-Takes so that when you come back for your 2nd or 3rd (or 4th) visit, you will have a different Make-n-Take to enjoy.<br />
<br />
There are prizes drawings for those who visit 8 or more shops as well as those who visit all 11! We have some FUN things up our sleeves and cannot wait to share with all of you!<br />

first learned about <b><i>Art Impressions stamps</i></b> and <b><i>“watercolor the Art Impressions
way”</i></b>. Since then I have signed up for every
class I could find that had anything to do with stamps and water color. I
love working in various types of media and love altered books. Using the Art
Impression stamps to create a watercolor scene makes me feel like an artist and gives such satisfying results and is so EASY!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

finished you can’t wait to share with someone else. They become little treasures and hopefully
keepsakes. <b>Call the Mercantile (864-646-9431) and let
me share with you how simple it is…..and have fun at the same time! Note: Art Impressions watercolor class is being offered on Friday, September 28th at 10:30am. Call the Mercantile to save your spot! We will do 3 images minimum.</b></span></span></div>

<br />
What is it? You ask. The first EVER <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Carolina Shop Hop </span></span>for rubberstamping, scrapbooking & paper arts!<br />
<br />
It will run from <span style="font-size: large;">October 16 - 27</span> and has 11 stores in the Upstate and Western NC participating.<br />
<br />
ALL shops will have <span style="font-size: large;">free make & takes AND 20% off their crafting supplies!</span> <span style="font-size: large;">WOW!</span><br />
<br />
The organizers have compiled some gifts to give for those who visit 8 or more shops as well as those who visit all 11 in the 2 weeks! YES! <span style="font-size: large;"> FREE goodies! </span> Who doesn't like that???<br />
<br />
The cost for a ticket is a mere <span style="font-size: large;">$15.00</span>. With the ticket (which will be stamped at each store visited) there will also be a tote bag with the Carolina Shop Hop logo (to carry around all of those fabulous deals you will get at each store).<br />
<br />
In an earlier post, I listed some of the extra things we will be doing for our 'Home Hoppers' (those who purchase their ticket from The Mercantile.) These includes an entry into <span style="font-size: large;">a special drawing JUST FOR 'HOME HOPPERS'</span> for a $30 Mercantile Gift Certificate!<br />
<br />
We are also having a <span style="font-size: large;">tag contest,</span> rules are available in an earlier post, or at the Mercantile. (I just finished running off some more copies...)<br />
