Happy New Year - 2013

It is that time of year when we are all recuperating from the busy end-of-the-year holiday craziness. 

We have gotten our class schedule partially finished, and I will post it here as soon as it is done.

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.

That afternoon, Mary will help you make Valentines with her own special flair.

The 26th, in the morning, Cindy will have a version of the Accordion Card just right for Spring.

As usual, our ever-popular Crafting A-La-Carte is available in a variety of daytime and evening time-frames.

Book-lace
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 website 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.

Remember, spaces fill fast, call today to reserve your space.


*** Heirloom Tickets for the Duluth, GA show are here for $6 each.***

Heeeeere's Mary!

    What a privilege it is to be added to this blog.  I hope to bring some tips on card making, some sample projects and a few surprises and fun along the way.  I would like to start out with a reminder for Mother's Day next Sunday, May 13th.  Here is a card from Penny Black.  I will be at The Mercantile on Friday for drop in demos.  If you would like to make this card contact The Mercantile and I will have the supplies to make it.  
It is colored with Copic Markers.  Copic Markers not your thing?  This can be done also with Prisma Colored pencils and Gamsol.  If you would like to try either of these mediums come into The Mercantile for a quick tutorial..... And "Happy" Mother's Day!

A new writer for our blog

I am happy to announce that we have added Mary Witter as one of our blog writers here at The Mercantile.
Mary is an avid crafter, and especially adept with the Copic Markers (she has her Intermediate Certification) & is an Art Impressions Design Team alum, with a love of their watercolor technique.  Tim Holtz is one of her favorite designers & she is a new member of the Oozak Design Team.  If it is made with paper & color, Mary is interested!  Stamps, punches, inks, embossers...
And, most of all, Mary has a bit more time than we do to be able to post about techniques & goings on.  Terri & I will still contribute to the blog as we can.
Please feel free to ask questions and comment on any of the posts.  That is how we learn from our customers & followers.
Thank you Mary for agreeing to help us keep up to date on the blog!
