Hey, LA! Get your new year started on the right foot with a hands-on happening at the Craft and Folk Art Museum. Join designer, author, and shining craft star Mark Montano for a blooming envelope-making adventure to add a playful touch to all your mail. (Don’t you have some thank you notes left to write?) The museum’s courtyard will be transformed into a creative hub, and the galleries will be open to curious crafters like yourself. Mark will also be signing copies of his latest book, The Big-Ass Book of Crafts 2. Come by to socialize, craft, and enjoy refreshments under the stars, while pushing the limits of paper. The $5 admission includes materials and snacks. (Free for CAFAM members.) RSVP suggested to rsvp@cafam.org.
When: Thursday, January 5 from 7 to 9 p.m. PT.
Where: The Craft and Folk Art Museum, 5814 Wilshire Blvd (at Curson), Los Angeles, CA 90048

I will be there! I can hardly wait. It reminds me of my favorite day at school, from kindergarten to second grade: Valentine's Day. I loved that day. Decorating shoe boxes with hearts cut out of colored paper and bits of tissue! What a great idea.

Fold, crease, press & repeat! I find folding paper to be so relaxing! I can't be there but I'll be making little paper boxes here at home! Enjoy!
