Thanks to everyone who came out for our Thursdays in December happenings. We all had a blast and enjoyed meeting you and truly appreciate your interest and participation! Here are a few photos from last Thursday’s gift wrapping/bow making demo hosted by Smock Paper…

We also received the sweetest note from Erica Lee (thanks Erica!!!) and some photos of what she was able to do after the workshop…

Hello,
Thank you so much for having this event – I had such a good time and made excellent use of my bows, as well as everything else that i learned that night! My gift recipients were VERY impressed.

I’ve attached pictures of some of the presents I wrapped with my new skills!

The 2 peacock pictures show how i used the gorgeous gold peacock paper that i bought from you guys that night, and used leftover paper to make strips and a new bow!

The other bow picture shows one of the bows I made at Lion in the Sun at the event, tied with a ribbon (done with my newly learned fancy NO-bump-on-the-bottom technique)!

Thanks again – once again, you are the best stationery store in ALL OF NYC!

Best,
Erica
