Holiday Art Event 2009!

Yesterday was our holiday open house and it went great! We had a house full of people and got to spend the day with some great artist friends!Green Girl and Guy were gracious enough to open their home - which meant that they had the job of moving all of their furniture out to their garage for a few days!

The giveaway table:

Jenni's table:

Diana and Marissa's jewelry:

wrist cuffs:

Kami and Lisa's photobooks and hip girly clothing:



treats:

I wanted to get an 'aerial' view when we were at our busiest - there was hardly any room to move! But we were so busy that I was at the money table, tending to a steady line of customers!

It's not too late to make Christmas purchases if you saw something yesterday that you liked. Just email us at paperprayers@hotmail.com and we'll work something out!

It was a terrific day! Congrats to all of our giveaway winners! Artists will be calling you all soon to notify and make arrangements for getting you your items! Thanks to all of our great friends and customers for coming and making it special! We are truly blessed!

Giveaway #5 is brought to you by mother Connie, of Creative Works. She's giving away this original mixed media piece that measures 18x22 inches. It retails for $49!!! It uses patterned paper, acrylics, matboard, and wire. It would look especially great on a colored wall.

Getting Ready For the Open House of THE Year:

Here's some stuff I've been working on for the open house:

Open House Giveaways #3 AND #4!!!!

Giveaways 3 and 4 are brought to you by Kami and Lisa of The Dreaming Dragonfly. These two friends create a variety of fun and cute things including photo albums, greeting cards, tutus, aprons, hats, hair bows and lots of hip, girly fashions. (Go look at their Dreamy Dresses - they are adorable!!!) This is the first year they'll be joining us for our open house and we're super excited to have them! And GET THIS: They were generous enough to offer us not one, but TWO great prizes for our open house giveaways! The first one is this Dragonfly Book photo album:

It is cleverly folded and put together to open accordian style:
There are triangular and square panels inside, and the kit comes with directions and the templates to easily insert your own photographs!

Here are some other examples- they sell two different sizes - notice the finished one:

Giveaway #4 is a tutu set that includes a matching long sleeve tee - the winner can pick the appropriate size. The tutu is made from the softest tulle. Fit for any princess and makes a perfect gift for birthdays, photo shoots, or even to play dress up!
Close-up detail of the shirt:

Even if you don't have girls, (like me) I bet you have someone in your life who you need to buy a Christmas gift for.

Remember, the only way you can win any of our fabulous prizes is to come to our Holiday Art Event on December 5th and enter your name in the drawing. If you're local and want an invite, email us at paperprayers@hotmail.com and we'll send you one!
