Whether or not you have a child/ren going back to school this September, you should consider going back to school yourself! It doesn't have to be full time or even every week, but you should set the goal to learn something new or continue learning something you enjoy. Obviously
I am going to recommend taking some of my local & online card making classes 🙂, the Fall class schedule is listed below. But you should also consider some your town recreation, senior center or Vo-Tech school classes in painting, cooking, book club, exercise, etc. If you look around, you will see so many offerings. We should all be striving to be lifelong
learners because learning is good for our minds, bodies, health and social connections.
Once school begins, then all of the Fall & Winter Holidays are soon to follow. Did you know there are only 57 days until Halloween, 85 days until Thanksgiving and 112 days until Christmas and 118 until 2020???
Hopefully, this countdown shows both that you still have time to get your "Holiday Craftiness" on, but the clock is ticking. Luckily for you, there are so many great ideas & products in the new 2019 Holiday catalog AND you can begin ordering from it today!
I have copies of the Holiday catalog in my old fashioned black milk box sitting on my front porch for you to come and pick up anytime. I ordered lots of them, so don't be shy (& feel free to pick one up for a friend too). I ask that you leave your name on the clipboard so I know who picked one up. 3 School Street in Norwell.
Would you like to order from the catalog but don't have a copy? If you don't live local to me, I can put one in the mail to you. I ask that you send me a message requesting a catalog and including your phone number so I can give you a call to be sure it arrived and to answer any questions or help you with your order.
The 2019 Holiday catalog is so full of every style of Christmas, cute & scary Halloween, back to school, Autumn & Thanksgiving and even a little bit of New Years and Valentines. Individual stamp sets to create on your own cards & projects, an advent countdown box kit, all inclusive gift giving tag kits, card kits, new punches & dies, lots of ribbons and papers oh
my!!!
Mail Something Pretty Local Classes & Workshops
All of my classes are for any skill level, from never having stamped before to know what you are doing. The mixing of levels makes it fun for everyone (me too) because the joy of stamping is seen and felt from different perspectives which makes it
even more contagious. I encourage you to try a class if you are new, come back if it's been a long time, or continue to be a regular. I supply the adhesive if you are coming to class for the first time. Bring a friend for the first time and I have a treat for both of you.
Classes will be held on Tuesday & Friday mornings and Tuesday evenings.
Workshops will be held on Sunday afternoons.
Private classes can be scheduled anytime.
I will email photos of each class prior to the dates as well as post them on my website.

September Decorative Paper Sale - Buy three get one free!
Yesterday I read an article in the September issue of Better Homes & Gardens on another idea of what you can do with
decorative papers (in addition to: cards, tags, scrapbooks, labels, treats, signs, embellished notebooks...). The article featured Marie Kondo, Japanese tidying expert. One of the techniques she uses for organizing drawers is recycling small boxes as drawer organizers and she said to "line them (the boxes) with decorative papers". My brain instantly went to Stampin' Up!'s beautiful papers. The timing is perfect because of the September Designer Series Paper
Sale.

Halloween Paper Pumpkin Projects
Have you noticed that you are receiving more clues about future Paper Pumpkin kits than in the past? I have a clue for September's Halloween kit that I want to share with you.
The "Chilling Details" ~ This kit includes 20 food-safe treat boxes, a unique and exclusive Halloween stamp set, and a spooky, special-edition box. September’s kit also gives new meaning to the word “handmade.” (Cue the scary laughter!)
Not only do you make the project with the supplies in the box, but this month you can make a project WITH the box! The designers created this haunted house with the special-edition box and other contents from the kit to give you a spooky sneak at what's to come inside the Bone Appétit kit. Don't miss it!
To receive this Halloween Paper Pumpkin kit,
you must sign up by September 10th!!!
Each month's kit is $22 which includes all you need for the project, exclusive & reusable photopolymer stamps, inks, directions, emails with alternate project ideas and shipping. That's quite a lot! You have the option to skip months, order more and/or cancel at any time. Each project is guaranteed (if you have any problems or don't like it, you
can return it) and there is no time commitment once you sign up.
