December Newsletter Give yourself the gift of play! |
|
|
We all know that the best gifts are the ones we buy for ourselves. This year, instead of purchasing a new gadget, sweater, or necklace, how about giving yourself the gift of creative play? If you're not already part of the Purple Crayon community, consider signing up for a membership (prices start at just $25/month) or taking a workshop. If you already rent a creation station, consider committing to going to the studio a few hours a week—no exceptions! And, if you live too far away to join Purple Crayon, but you love the concept, consider creating your own "Purple Crayon" by scheduling a creative play date with a friend every week. Unwrap your creativity and feel the real joy of giving! |

NEW EVENT: Open House When I tell women crafters about the studio, most tell me that they've been looking for a "Purple Crayon" for years. Either they don't have room in their home to spread out their projects, or they prefer creating with other women. Some have already looked into rental options, but most studios charge a lot more than Purple Crayon. If you think Purple Crayon might be a good fit for you, we're now hosting an Open House the second Saturday of every month from 2-4PM. Come check us out! |

Let's Make a T-Shirt Quilt! Yes, you can have too many t-shirts—but now there's a beautiful, useful way to get rid of them! Gather 16 of your old t-shirts (or visit your favorite used clothing store) and create a fun memory quilt with Pam Robbins, Purple Crayon's founder and an avid quilter. This workshop is designed for beginning quilters, but seasoned quilters are welcome—and often have just as much fun! Reserve your spot by 12/30. |
