The Paper Source

My really good friend and creative mate, Morgan (If you would love to find out more about what creative things my friend Morgan gets up to, check out her very cheeky and sassy blog at Internet Therapy), told me a month ago about a store called The Paper Source opening at the Forum in our neighborhood. Since she told me not a week goes by that I don't visit the shop at least 3 times! A Few Items I have purchased, I turned the tube map into a giant place mat for our table.

It is such a wonderful and fun store for those who love and appreciate good design, quality stationery, crafty and artsy people. And YES!! there is a HUGE difference between crafty and artsy people. I just discovered I am artsy NOT crafty. My sister-in-law's bridal shower was coming up and I really wanted to make some decorations for the shower. The Paper Source has these wonderful kits that you can put together beautiful magnolia flowers. I thought they would really be fun and add a bit to the party decorations. So I got four packs of flowers in different sizes and then spent the next 5 days making the stupid things. In the end they were exactly what I wanted them to be. The really added to the decor and were beautiful. But the time and patience it takes to make crafts is not my thing at all!! I will never be making these flowers again. I'm sticking to my art!
