Come join us for a fun class with Kim Hesson and help us welcome her to her first visit to the Oasis!

Come along and join Kim in creating your very own charming petite neighborhood!  Her latest obsession has been creating on a small scale and this whimsical neighborhood has her wanting to create more!  In this class you will be able to let your imagination run wild as you decorate 3 petite houses for your very own neighborhood!  And to help add curbside appeal to your little street you will also be decking out a miniature tree.  These 4 pieces have all been created and handcut from wood by Kim.  As we decorate them we will be using some fun and whimsical papers topped off with some vintage goodies, buttons, trims, glitter and anything else we can fit on them!  We will be painting, stamping, collaging, stitching, and lots more to give these little houses the debut they deserve!  Of course for their debut they will be proudly displayed on their very own petite pedestal.  The darling pedestal will be pieced together in class and then painted, distressed, collaged, glittered and embellished.  The pedestal is the perfect place for your neighborhood and Kim find herself moving the little houses around and dreaming about the next little house she wants to add to the collection.  Before long your neighborhood will be a city!

Kim lives in Mesa, AZ with her husband and three kids.  She has loved crafting and art her whole life!  Kim has worked with wood for over 16 years, including creating custom tole painted decorative pieces and furniture.  She also has a gift for floral arranging and has taught for the the past 13 years.  Kim has been scrapbooking for 8 years and found it very natural to include her love for wood in her projects.  This has taken her to her newest venture with her online store "Miss Alayneeah" where she sells her hand-cut wood creations and other vintage finds.  Currently, Kim loves all things vintage, worn, and shabby.  She loves to use these treasures in her artwork, classes and in her home.  You can read more about Kim and her adventures on her blog and her online store.

Some nice cool Lemonade from Basic Grey. You'll definitely need to serve yourself a refreshing dose of these papers and embellishments! The colors are bright and happy just like summer!

The other release we got in from Basic Grey is June Bug. Normally these little critters aren't exactly cute, but thankfully the papers are the exact opposite! A color combination of pink, orange and yellow along
with a paper with the cutest doggies on it make this paper line irresistible!

You can order online now to have the products shipped to you or you can select an "in store pick-up" so you make sure you don't miss out on these two great lines!

We will be open from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm tomorrow, July 3rd and closed for the 4th of July.

How many times have we looked at our scrapbooks and thought it would be nice to learn a new technique to add a little something new?  Well we have a fun new technique to teach you that you are sure to use over and over again.

Join us on Saturday, July 25th as Rebecca walks us through the fun craft of needle felting!  You will design an incredible 8x8 mixed media scrapbook with an amazing needle felted cover that you will create yourself in class.  The pages inside are just as amazing – filled with fabric, canvas, paint, watercolor and so much more. This is definitely a fun, technique driven class that will allow you to play with lots of different mediums!

The new October afternoon Road Map is here and along with it came Cherry Hill and Ducks in a Row. It is all so beautiful it's hard to pick which line we like best. We'll let you decide!

Along with the new October Afternoon we also have a new website to make it easier for you to shop from. It's in its infancy, but we thought October Afternoon would be the perfect start. The site gives you the option to have your purchases shipped to you, or you can select in store pick up so your items are waiting for you. Remember, if the online store is out of stock be sure to contact to store directly to see if there is any remaining inventory. We will continue to add to the site daily. You can click here to check it out! Enjoy!
