Isn't February lovely? Such a sweet month and so much going on! Our Bull Bash specials start tomorrow, early for Valentine's Day: 35% off Black Hills Gold, 50% off Valentine cards and papercraft supplies, 25% off select hairbows and tutus, and 10% off furniture pieces. We will have artist Misty Critchfield drawing portraits for $10 from 1-4pm on Bull Bash. We will be drawing names to win an antique mirror or an 11"x14" photo of Smith Falls and will of course have goodies to eat :). But it doesn't stop after Bull Bash, here are all of our classes going on this month:

February 18th: Covered Vintage Suitcase Class! Learn how to cover a vintage suitcase with decorative paper. Great for a statement piece in your home and to store odds and ends in! All materials provided, even the suitcase. Class covers techniques and tips and you should get a good start on your suitcase. 6-9pm. $40.00

February 22rd: Book Page Flower Wreath Class! Various techniques for creating lovely book page/paper wreaths for your home. 2-4pm. All materials provided, $25.00.

February 25th: 6-10 year old Children’s Art Class! $7.50 per class per child, $6.00 per child if you have more than one child in your family taking classes, all materials provided. 4:30-5:30pm (last Tuesday of every month except on holidays)
February 27th: 4-5 year old Children’s Art Class! $7.50 per class per child, $6.00 per child if you have more than one child in your family taking classes, all materials provided. 4:30-5:30pm (last Thursday of every month except on holidays)

Need to make something quick for your Valentine? Try these cute paper fortune cookies with sweet messages of love inside!

Cut out 4" circles. Gently fold one in half, only creasing about 1" in the middle (don't crease the entire fold). Open the circle. Then loosely fold it in half (holding it together on the open side, but not creasing it at all) halfway around the circle, so that your crease is vertical across the horizontal bottom. Then take your other hand and hold the ends of the bottom with your thumb and third finger, pressing into the crease in the middle with your index finger. As the cookie starts popping into place, take out your index finger, holding the two sides together. While still loosely holding it, slide a message inside and then glue it together in the middle (between the two sides you pulled together) so that it doesn't pop back open. What a sweet surprise for your Valentine!

We hope that your Valentine's Day and this whole month is filled with love!

Our DIY this month is to help you get started on the most fun part of giving gifts...gift wrapping :). Just a few simple ideas to make your packages extra special:

For this present, we hand stamped the paper-the white dots are just a pencil eraser in white paint. And you can find our tutorial for the yarn poms here.

On this one, we folded pieces of washi tape over twine and then cut the the ends of the tape in a triangle shape.

And finally, we added dots with Stickles glitter, paper roses, and a paper ornament to this package. You can find our tutorial for making paper roses here. Just scroll down to the 3rd video. For the ornament, just cut or punch out three circles, stitch them down the middle and fold out the sides.
