Journaling for the New Year

Now is the perfect time to begin planning for 2019 journaling!

We have a great selection of journals to choose from, plus new Zebra Journaling Sets. The Zebra mildliner pens are the most popular bullet journal pens out there right now. They are double sided to give you two different tip styles. The Sarasa Clip Retractable Gel Pens are also included in this set. With a 0.5 mm fine point tip and seven vibrant colors, they are the perfect companion pen for your journal. We also love their tagline "Find the zen in your pen." Who doesn't find zen in journaling?

We also have the Zebra Lettering Set. This set includes 6 colored brush pens and 6 mildliner pens. The brish pens work well for watercolor techniques and lettering.

Don't forget to also use the Frixion Clicker Erasable Pen. It is amazing and will easily erase unwanted lines or misspelled words from your journal. We carry them in black, blue and red.

We Can Help With Christmas Traditions

Christmas is a great time to create new traditions or enjoy old ones with family and friends. 

To help you create these memories, here are a few ideas that will bring you lots of laughter during the holidays!

1) Decorate Gingerbread Houses: We have kits that are ready for you to decorate!

2) Games & Puzzles: Gather the family and some friends for a fun night playing games. Set a puzzle on a table, and go back to it throughout the holiday season.

3) Christmas Cards: Handmade cards let the recipient know how much you care! We have beautiful Christmas stamps, paper and embellishments to choose from. Don’t forget that you can use our Die-Cut Machines to cut hundreds of shapes. It’s a great way to make personalized gift tags!

4) DIY Ornaments: Shop our great selection of unique ornaments, or create your own with clear ornaments, ceramic shaped ornaments, or ready-to-decorate kits. Remember and look back on each year as you pull out your ornaments to decorate your tree.

5) Coloring Books: Have a family coloring night! We have new coloring books for all ages from adults to little ones. It’s a great time to bond with the kids! 

We love family traditions, so if there’s anything we can do to help you create these beautiful moments, let us know!
